Isopoda Checklist: Pillbugs & Sowbugs
Pillbugs, sowbugs, roly-polies and woodlice, collectively referred to as isopods, are land-dwelling crustaceans that feed mainly on decaying organic matter, especially rotting wood and leaves. Pillbugs can roll into a tight ball or a pill — an ability called conglobation. Sowbugs, on the other hand, cannot conglobate and would have a pair of tail-like appendages (uropods) that project out from the rear end of their body.

I think they all apply to me at some point or another.
In fact, this chart is pretty derivative of Cristoph Niemann and Geoff McFetridge.
But yeah. Fun little 1hr brainfart from today.
Argiope Checklist: Cross Spiders
Cross orb weaver spiders from the genus Argiope Audouin, 1826 have some of the most common names tagged to them, namely Cross Spiders, Zig-Zag Spiders, Signature Spiders, Silver-Faced Spiders, St. Andrew’s Cross Spiders, etc. There were always exceptions to the common name within the genus, so I settled for one which matched closely to all of the species listed on this page – Cross Spiders. This refers to the position of its legs forming a typical X-posture when perched on its web. Sometimes, it may build stabilimenta to extend its cross.

Located at Marsland Basin (off TWP 232) in Southern Alberta.
I had read an e-bird report prior to heading to Calgary, AB and decided to check out this spot the day after arrival. I went in search of the ibis and black crowned night heron. Both of which would be a lifer.
Lucky enough to locate and photograph both species among others.
The owners of the property adjacent to Marsland Basin are very kind enough to welcome and allow birders to use their viewing area overlooking the basin and enjoy the many species using the wetlands.

Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala), Nurragingy Reserve, Blacktown, NSW, Australia
Ebird checklist:
ebird.org/australia/checklist/S129401738
A medium to large, gray honeyeater with a black crown, a yellow bill, and a yellow eye patch. Aggressive and territorial; lives in colonies and vigorously defends territories against pretty much anything that moves. Common in urban areas, as well as in many open forested and agricultural landscapes. In inland areas, take note of the black crown; the similar looking Yellow-throated Miner has a pale gray crown. Noisy Miners are distributed across much of eastern Australia.

It's raining tonight. A substantial rain.
So, time to dig into the archives and express with a picture.
I know, the sky is completely blown out in this shot. But, it means more to me than the balance of exposures.
I come from New Jersey. South Jersey to be exact. (very different from smelly North Jersey). Yes, we are home to the "Jersey Shore", and evidently the "Fist Pump" but we look at those people with the same in-credulousness that you do when watching on TV.
I up my origins because home for me is flat. Flat flat. Like Kansas flat. Well, not exactly that bad, but pretty damn flat. Here, check this out, here's a topo map of Jersey. I remind you, I come from the Southern half. Shades of green express elevation. Deep green color means elevation of 0-100 ft above sea level
www.mapsofworld.com/usa/topographic-maps/maps/new-jersey-...
....yeahp. You are reading that map correctly. From East to West, the highest point of South Jersey is just shy of 100 ft above sea level!
So, I say all this, because, when growing up, I read Backpacker and Outside magazine and knew at some point in my life- I had to live by mountains. Snow capped mountains. Rugged rivers and rocky hilltops. Deep forests with dark starry night skies. The Wild called to me. The last 10 years I've done alot of domestic and global travel to go see those far off places, and wow, our world is an incredible place.
But travelling wasn't enough. I wanted to live by the mountains, not just see them. Now, I live by the mountains :-)
Here's an Oregon topo map:
www.mapsofworld.com/usa/topographic-maps/maps/oregon-topo...
Oregon has elevation colors that Jersey can't touch! Makes me want to do some fist pumps... ;-)
So, this picture is a self portrait. Probably about 5 am or so. Whenever sunrise was during the Perseid Meteor Shower. I rushed to get these shots because a sudden wind storm was ripping tents from the ground and blowing camp gear all over the place. But this view continued to stop me in mid motion and stare with awe. I know, the sky is empty, devoid of beautiful glowing sunrise clouds- but man, look at that land! This moment for me is expressive of living a life goal. Maybe later in life I'll live closer to bigger mountains, or possibly even in the ranges, but for now, being an hour away from 10,000 ft+ mountains just blows me away. And mornings like this make a kid from Jersey just stop and stare.
So, cheers to the beauty around us. Cheers to early mornings in beautiful places. Cheers to kids growing up and doing what they dreamed of.
Rook (Corvus frugilegus), Harras Moor, Whitehaven, Cumbria
Ebird checklist:
ebird.org/checklist/S227293496
Large, glossy black crow. Adult is easily passed off as another crow species unless you see the diagnostic pale patch at the base of the bill. Juvenile lacks a pale bill base and is very similar to Carrion Crow, but bill is a little more tapered; pale bill base develops late in its first winter. Inhabits farmland and other semiopen areas with hedges and groups of tall trees, where nests in rookeries. Forages on ground, usually in flocks, and associates readily with crows and jackdaws. Rook calls are higher pitched and less rolling than other crow calls.

Wedge-tailed Shearwater (Ardenna pacifica), Sydney Pelagic, NSW, Australia
Ebird checklist:
ebird.org/checklist/S152717497
Large but light-bodied shearwater with rather broad wings and a long, wedge-shaped tail often held closed in a point. Fairly common in warm tropical waters and at times visible from shore. Occurs locally in flocks of hundreds; elsewhere occurs in smaller numbers. Usually seen with feeding flocks of other seabirds. Typical flight is unhurried with easy buoyant glides and stiff wingbeats. Plumage variable: most birds are gray-brown above and whitish below; others are dark brown overall. Note pale scaly edgings to back feathers and slender grayish bill.

Wandering Albatross (Diomedea exulans), Sydney Pelagic, NSW, Australia
Ebird checklist:
ebird.org/checklist/S149414594
Huge albatross of the Southern Ocean; breeds locally on remote islands, but circles the globe on its travels. Plumage highly variable, but always has white underwings with small black tip. Only similar species that is equally large is Royal Albatross, which never has dirty brownish markings on head and body or a mostly black tail as seen on many Wandering Albatrosses. Juvenile Wandering starts out with a chocolate brown head and body and a white face patch; gradually attains adult plumage over many years.

Patrick Roy - Patrick Jacques Roy (born October 5, 1965) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach, executive and former player who is the head coach for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League. Roy previously served as head coach for the Colorado Avalanche of the NHL, as well as the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. In 2017, he was named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history and was hailed in sports media as "king of goaltenders".
Nicknamed "Saint Patrick", Roy split his playing career in the National Hockey League between the Montreal Canadiens, with whom he played for 11 years, and the Colorado Avalanche, with whom he played for eight years. Roy won the Stanley Cup four times during his career, two with each franchise.
In 2004, Roy was selected as the greatest goaltender in NHL history by a panel of 41 writers, coupled with a simultaneous fan poll. On November 13, 2006, Roy was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. He is the only player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe Trophy (the award given to the Most Valuable Player in the Stanley Cup playoffs) three times, the only one to do so in three different decades (1980s, 1990s, and 2000s), and the only one to do so for two different teams. Roy's number 33 sweater is retired by both the Canadiens and Avalanche.
Roy is widely credited with popularizing the butterfly style of goaltending, which has since become the dominant style of goaltending around the world.

By the time the trading card industry boomed, Roy was front and center as a hobby star and his autographs from 1991-92 Pro Set Series One were the first pack-inserted certified autographs in the hockey card market. More awards followed and he backstopped the Canadiens to a Stanley Cup in 1992-93. Traded to the Colorado Avalanche during the 1995-96 season, he played a key part in leading the former Quebec Nordiques to the franchise’s first title. Another followed five years later, along with a record third Conn Smythe Trophy.
“It’s really exciting to see what has happened in the last couple of years,” Roy said that winter day in early 1992. “When Upper Deck came in, their cards are so nice and different than anything we have ever had. There are other new companies too. The competition has made everybody get better, from the photography being used now to the quality of the cards.” Roy was, by this point, part of the Upper Deck stable of stars so it’s no surprise that he would extol their greatness. And he was right. In 1991 and 1992, Upper Deck was raising the bar in the sports card industry.

Rock Pipit (Anthus petrosus), Hodbarrow RSPB Reserve, Cumbria
Ebird checklist:
ebird.org/checklist/S249159884
Plumage relatively dull and dark: grayish brown to grayish above with weak darker streaking; dingy whitish below with heavy and rather blurry dark streaking. Also note the dark legs (pink on smaller and buffier Meadow Pipit, which often occurs in coastal grassland adjacent to Rock Pipits). Song is a bland, repetitive, high-pitched series, often accelerating towards the end. Call a high, lisping, slightly harsh "ssiip", very similar to that of Water Pipit. Like other pipits, walks strongly and often pumps its tail a little. Found along rocky coasts; infrequent inland. Often seen on rocks and adjacent areas with short grass.
