One week since disaster struck Japan and more than 452,000 people have been made homeless by the quake and tsunami. They are staying in schools and other shelters, and supplies of fuel, medicine and other necessities are running short.

“She turned to the sunlight

And shook her yellow head,

And whispered to her neighbor:

"Winter is dead.”

~ A.A. Milne

It's a preview of winter, nothing more. On October 23rd we woke to snow - not unheard of, but definitely a shock, considering that only six weeks earlier we were baking in the last heat wave of summer, with temperatures in the high 90s Fahrenheit. It can change fast on the prairie.

 

My neighbour has some crabapple trees on his property, growing in a sheltered spot, and I know that migrating songbirds often stop here on their way south. Sure enough, the action was nonstop. American Robins, White-throated Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, Bohemian Waxwings, and at least one Blue Jay competed for the frozen fruit. All I had to do was stand there and try to keep my hands warm and dry (impossible).

 

It all melted within a few days; this was just a taste. The last fall colour in the trees, seen here behind the robin, was gone. Some of those leaves may have become mulch for the garlic I planted (garlic needs to over-winter to produce big bulbs). My car is set, with four new studded snow tires. I have nailed my kitchen window closed for the winter (don't ask). This morning I found my winter boots. The weather forecast is calling for a major snowfall, beginning today (November 7). This time it won't melt. Most of the robins - many of which hatched right here in May and June - have departed. Every season here has a unique beauty, and believe it or not I'm expecting to enjoy this one.

Curlew calling from the rocks at Eyemouth.

Twisting and turning thru the rock cut at Eagle Mills Jct, CN train U745 glides towards the LS&I yard with a train of empty All Rail cars.

The hot pink flowers on this Yarrow plant are a new addition to our flower garden. It's always nice to have a new bright spot in one's landscaping plan.

The female landed nearby and the male started quivering his wings and calling excitedly.

Apparently, Black-necked Stilts are okay with calling while flying.

I was going to post a snake today but ended up with an owl! It's mating season for our big Great Horned Owls and calling pairs have been waking us up at night for weeks. I have very few photos of our wild owl species though we hear them often - this guy was a captive owl at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. North Georgia

I've just about had it with summer by now.

The Calling by Mark di Suvero in downtown Milwaukee

Loch Ness, Scotland - July 2017

A juvenile Northern harrier calling in flight. One of my favorite birds, I was thrilled to find this one recently. The ones I’ve seen in Wyoming look a bit darker and more rust colored than the NJ ones, but could also be the time of year as this one looks to be molting. Who knows, but happy to see these guys again!

 

Taken with a D500 + 500mm + 1.4 TC at 1/2000 f/5.6 ISO 800 (hence a bit of movement in the wingtips).

A pine siskin calling among a flock - I really like the branch this bird is singing on / calling on, tons of lichen that really began to wake up during that brief spring spell we had last week.

Lots of milkweed starting to boom, or bloom, out at the Refuge.

Calling Pika. Love photographing this high elevation specialist, but man do I hate crawling all over the rocks they live around. Taken with a D500 + 500mm at 1/1250 f/6.3 ISO 800.

A great hornbill (buceros bicornis) calling from the top of a tree. These birds have a very distinctive call - not unlike the soft, gruff barking of a dog. Most of my sightings resulted from trying to track the source of such calls. Photographed on the island of Pangkor, in Malaysia.
