Ryder Brow is a residential area next to Gorton, Belle Vue and Levenshulme. The name of the road is one word (for some reason!)
Taken yesterday afternoon (Monday 8th April)
The birds de jour last week were a couple of Red-browed Treecreepers and a pair(?) of Rose Robins at the ANBG - bot gardens. I dipped on the Rose Robin but did find a couple of Red-brows amongst the vocal White-throated Treecreepers, way up the back. Red-brows are not common in Canberra, generally sticking to thicker forest with big trees, though who knows how long these have been haunting the back reaches of the gardens? It/they did call a few times which made things easier. I can only swear to one but there seemed to be more and others reported two.
Mine disappeared across the fence into CSIRO just as we were getting used to each other.
No really close or sharp photos, mostly because the light was poor - now I understand what high lattitude people have to cope with most of the time. Also partly because I wasn't getting the focus on the bird most of the time, like this one where it slipped to the branch every time. I must work out how to use spot focus with my camera, which for some reason is more difficult than with the 7D, in fact it's impossible with most lenses.
Turquoise-browed Motmot - Eumomota superciliosa - Синебровый момот
Mexico, Yucatan, Chichen Itza, 02/20/2013
A type of "thunder snow" occured on this wintery spring morning in central Wisconsin—the booming of the Greater Prairie Chicken. Not detered by the driving wind, snow, or even the ice collecting on its plummage, this male continued to lay claim to his territory on the lek and attempt to lure females out with his courtship display. His conspicuous orange eye brows and air sacks really stood out against the snow. The females showed no interest on this cold morning in Junction City of Portage County.
Endoscopic Forehead lift
Forehead lifts are also known as brow lifts. The forehead is most often lifted by making a hairline incision and removing excess forehead skin. Men with receding hairline do better with an incision in an existing forehead crease. The best way to lift the brow is endoscopically. Small incisions are made above the hairline to give access to the forehead (similar to laparoscopic abdominal surgery). The forehead is loosened, shifted up, and tacked down. Nothing is removed. The incisions are small so healing is very quick.
I may as yet trim some of the brow to take the rubber away from the ears a little more,not sure about this yet.Still lots of time to think about these small details.
SSG Gary Brower exists the hut on the duece. This was during a recon of 2nd platoon's deployment site near Huensfeld, November 1982. Only a few of us went on this recon--the entire platoon would return a few weeks later.
Brower Hatcher was born in Atlanta, GA. He attended Vanderbilt University School of Engineering in Nashville, TN and received his degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute in New York. He then studied sculpture at St. Martins School of Art in London, U.K. with Sir Anthony Caro and William Tucker. He was on the faculty at St. Martins for several years and returned to the U.S. to join the faculty of Bennington College where he taught for 13 years. Hatcher ceased teaching in 1986 and has built over 40 public art projects throughout the U.S. since that time. Brower Hatcher is a recipient of 3 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, a Guggenheim Fellowship and an honorary Ph.D. from the State University of New York. After working at the Steel Yard in Providence, RI as the artistic director of Mid-Ocean Studio, Inc., he's since transitioned M-OS over to a historic mansion, refashioning it as a center of arts and urban farming.

This fellow is on the same branch that contains the ex-nest of a pair of recently demised Eastern Spinebills. All that was left was the nest and a bunch of feathers.
The white-browed scrub robin (Cercotrichas leucophrys), also known as the red-backed scrub-robin, is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is native to sub-Saharan Africa, especially East and southern Africa. Within range, its Turdus-like song is one of the often-heard sounds of the bush. The flitting of the tail is characteristic of this species, but also of some near relatives. Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot described the white-browed scrub robin in 1817. The specific epithet is derived from the Ancient Greek words leukos "white" and ǒphrys "eyebrow". Following Clancey, the nominate subspecies is sometimes restricted to the Eastern Cape region, and the following subspecies are then distinguished from it:
C. l. pectoralis (A.Smith, 1836) – southern Zimbabwe, eastern Botswana and northern South Africa
C. l. simulator Clancey, 1964 – southern Mozambique and Swaziland
C. l. streptitans Clancey, 1975 – KwaZulu-Natal It measures 14.0–16.5 cm from bill tip to tail tip and the sexes are alike. The pale supercilliary stripe is distinct, and the crown may be warm brown, olive brown or greyish brown. The wings are dusky but well-marked. Greater and lesser wing coverts always white-tipped, but the secondaries with or without white edging. Amount of streaking on the breast is very variable, in subsp. ovamboensis it is reduced to fine streaking encircling the throat. The breast and flanks are washed with a variable amount of tawny buff. The mantle and back is brownish to hazel or rufous, depending on the subspecies. The tail is greyish brown to rufous, with a black subterminal band and white feather tips and corners. Juveniles are mottled but with the tail pattern of adults. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Republic of the Congo, DRC, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its range spans tropical, subtropical and temperate latitudes. It is present and usually common in any mesic to arid woodland or savanna, provided that there is cover, open scrub or thickets.[5] In the Eastern Highlands it is only present up to 1,400 metres, and in East Africa up to 1,500 metres. It is replaced on the Kalahari sands by the Kalahari scrub robin, while in the Horn of Africa it is sympatric with the rufous bush chat, which lacks any white in the wings. Suitable habitat is usually grassy, which facilitates nesting. Sedentary except in the far south. A restless but shy species which mostly sings from concealment inside bushes. It hops on the ground when foraging. As with some other scrub robin species, the tail is regularly flicked and fanned, and the wings may be drooped. The alarm is a sharp skirr or skee-ip note. The loud and variable song may include countless, sometimes identical repetitions. The songs of the respective subspecies are believed to be distinguishable, and those of the 'white-winged' group are considered to be shriller. It feeds on insects, especially termites and ants. Pairs are monogamous and nest solitarily from early to midsummer. The nest is built from dry grass by the female only, and is placed some 10 to 20 cm up at the heart of a grass tuft. Usually three eggs are laid and these are incubated by the female only. The cream-coloured eggs, measuring 20 x 14 mm, are blotched with brown and purple around the thicker end. The chicks are reared by both parents. Some nests are parasitised by cuckoos. WIKIPEDIA
