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.
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.
Pan Am Railways train RJED (Rotterdam Jct, NY - East Deerfield, MA) has a pair of ex CSX GE C40-8Ws for power as it knocks down the MP 430 searchlight signals at the east dog track road grade crossing in Pownal, VT. The plan for the day was to head out early and check Eagle Bridge for loads for the Battenkill, however, on the way east we saw the approach signal at Johnsonville lit for a eastbound. We made our way to Eagle Bridge and setup for the eastbound shot in town, thinking the train would be a 16R. After a 20 or so minute wait, we were surprised to see the yellow nose of a CSX YN3b widecab coming over the hill calling "RJED", and the chase east was on...

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.
Lincolnshire landscape between showers as the light started to die. The broken light making unusual effects picking out smaller patches at the edges of some of the lower clouds.

"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
.............
It's snowing like crazy right now, but the snow and the winter are scheduled to be over this evening. Even with the snow, the redwing's call signals the end of winter here. We''l have a few more snows, maybe even plow a time or two more, but now it's time to look ahead to gardens and mowing.
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.

Wow...the bullfrogs were all over...just too far away to see many...this one was close enough to photograph and get a good glimpse of the wake made while calling!
Une ambiance nocturne et glacée.
Deux smartphones.
Deux manières de l'utiliser.
Et de formes de mobilité, car comme le disait Montaigne : "Même l'immobilité n'est qu'un bransle plus languissant" (ou quelque chose d'approchant).
Getting around in the beautiful Gaia calling Fantasy sim can be a bit of a challenge; or it would be if it were not for the floating bubbles and the Flying Leaves.
Here Raphaela and i are exploring the sea at Gaia Calling using one of the Flying Leaves which have the advantage over the bubbles in that they can carry two., and I love the way they bank as they turn. So much to see here, it is well worth taking your time.
This female Purple Finch was calling most of today in my yard. Another female would intermittently join her at a feeder. A male did finally show up but not for long and she kept calling till dark...

Red-Winged BlackBird Agelaius phoeniceus
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
We spent the weekend at Balls, a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. We were quite busy in daytime preparing and launching rockets. It's time for leisure after 6pm. My son in the red shirt took along a powerful flashlight. He let put it on the playa, pointing up to what seems like infinity. The Black Rock Desert is one of the darkest places in the USA. The only light pollution comes from a gold mine, seen to the left of the beam.
