One of the local Buzzards calling loudly.
Spotted again from our back door, and again a long zoom capture.
Coming in hot at Okemos, westbound L302 splits the now retired intermediates that were victims of the upgrades that were spurred by the FRA's dislike of the condition of their pole line on the Plymouth Sub. A battered YN2 smokes it up as they will soon slow for Lansing and stop to work Ensel Yard before continuing west.
This crow appeared to be directing the traffic as he perched on this roof calling out to whoever would listen
One from today, just for you...couldn't leave without a picture from this little place.
Will be missing you until we meet again ;-)
Good night from my little corner :-)

Pacific Loon Barrow Alaska
This area we had Long Tailed Ducks, Sabines Gulls, Arctic Tern, Brandt Geese, Red Throated and Pacific Loons, Red and Red Necked Phalaropes steady for hours.
At one point the Artic Tern landed on a few participants heads including mine as well as our lenses.
Here this Pacific Loon worked its way back and forth in beautiful 2-4 Am Light on calm waters performing wailing calls to its Mate nearby.
When you are outnumbered , it is a good idea to call in the reserves for help. Sometimes the vultures , the seagulls , the ravens , the crows and the magpies just don't don't you respect.
NS 21Z passes through what was once Harris tower's control and the old PP&L steam generating station at 900 Walnut street in Harrisburg, PA. Unsure of the current status of this plant, but at least they keep some light on the small-Cool facility.
After striking out looking for Amtrak 606 I heard CSXT on the radio so before calling it a day I swung over to the runaround by the west (railroad north) end of the Middleboro Subdivision where I found CSXT local L007 switching on the south end of the runaround by MP 0.7 with three GP40-2s. After doing a bit of switching they will shove north to Currier and call for permission from Amtrak's NHV Line dispatcher for permission out on to the Corridor on Main 4 to shove down to East Junction to work a few customers.
The Middleboro Sub is strange in that it is owned by MassDOT and dispatched and maintained by Mass Coastal, but CSX still operates it and serves the customers as the direct corporate successor of CR, PC, NH, and all the way back to the Old Colony. In fact this particular segment of line was built in 1871 by OCRR predecessor New Bedford and Taunton Railroad.
While everyone knows of the recent MassDOT rail purchases from CSXT that were consummated in 2010, 2012, and 2015 dramatically changing the freight rail scene in eastern Mass this route is a bit more interesting. The state actually acquired this line way back in Dec 1982, but Conrail and successor CSXT operated, dispatched and maintained it for another three more decades. The state spent money to rehab the line shortly after purchase that permitted the return of seasonal passenger service and to that end, from 1986 to 1996 Amtrak's Cape Codder left the corridor at Attleboro and traveled this route to Hyannis on weekends in the summer. After that ended the line fell into disrepair and in 2015 MassDOT assigned maintenance and dispatching responsibilities to Mass Coastal. However, CSXT is still the exclusive holder of freight rights on the line and consequently Mass Coastal crews can only operate maintenance trains here.

the captain calls his family to say goodnight from the middle of Lake Ontario. Sailing to home port, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, on the tall ship St Lawrence II.
A wandering tattler sings from atop a coastal limestone outcrop. Uncommon in breeding plumage in its nonbreeding range, I’m not sure if it’s an early migratory return or if it’s a young bird that oversummered in the tropics. I observed it chasing other tattlers on the shoreline. ‘Ūlili, the Hawaiian name, resembles the tattler’s alarm call. With an expansive migratory range, the wandering tattler lives up to its common name. ‘Ūlili were considered messengers and scouts of the gods. A magnificent navigator, many tattlers annually migrates between Alaska, Siberia, and Canada to tropical Pacific islands on a high endurance non-stop flight of 72 to 96 hours. Using the stars and the earth’s magnetic field, perhaps visually perceived with magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in its retina, ‘ūlili find a route over thousands of miles of featureless open ocean.

"Callin' U"
I'm callin' U
When all my goals, my very soul
Ain't fallin' through
I'm in need of U
The trust in my faith
My tears and my ways is drowning so
I cannot always show it
But don't doubt my love
I'm callin' U
With all my time and all my fights
In search for the truth
Tryin' to reach U
See the worth of my sweat
My house and my bed
Am lost in sleep
I will not be false in who I am
As long as I breathe
Oh, no, no
I don't need nobody
& I don't fear nobody
I don't call nobody but U
My One & Only
.............
No surprise attack from this noisy predator today! He was calling and calling, even in flight he was calling. He's had some success hunting my little area and I suppose that is what brings him/ her back here. I believe this is a Red Shoulder hawk.
