Icebergs are the perfect symbol of life. Only a small portion of who we are is visible to the world, while the vast majority remains hidden and undiscovered.

A winter storm has moved out of the area, leaving behind a brilliant, but frigid afternoon. Here we caught up to Wisconsin & Southern's T4R as they worked through Williams and toward Janesville.

We were having a donut snack at the famous Kenilworth bakery in Queensland when this honeyeater flew on to the next table top and eyeing our donuts.
No, we did not feed it. It stayed just long enough for me to get a quick shot.
The Blue-faced Honeyeater is a large black, white and golden olive-green honeyeater with striking blue skin around the yellow to white eye.
The crown, face and neck are black, with a narrow white band across the back of the neck.
The upperparts and wings are a golden olive green, and the underparts are white, with a grey-black throat and upper breast.
The blue facial skin is two-toned, with the lower half a brilliant cobalt blue.
Juvenile birds are similar to the adults but the facial skin is yellow-green and the bib is a lighter grey.
This honeyeater is noisy and gregarious, and is usually seen in pairs or small flocks.
It is known as the Banana-bird in tropical areas, for its habit of feeding on banana fruit and flowers.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated...

While in Whistler recently, I saw this row of rental e-bikes. And as I had my Oreston lens on my camera, I thought I could get lots of bike bokeh with the lens wide open. Shot at f1.8.
El Garceta rojiza (Egretta rufescens) es una garza de tamaño medio conocida por ser uno de los miembros más activos y "dramáticos" de su familia. Es famosa por su inusual técnica de pesca, que parece un baile frenético sobre el agua.
All About Birds
Características Físicas
Esta especie presenta dos variantes de color (morfos) que conservan durante toda su vida:
Morfo Oscuro (más común): Tiene el cuerpo de color gris pizarra con la cabeza y el cuello de un tono rojizo o canela intenso.
Morfo Blanco: Es completamente blanco.
Rasgos comunes:
Pico: Largo y puntiagudo, de color rosa con la punta negra (más brillante durante la época de cría).
Cuello: Presenta plumas largas y desgreñadas que le dan un aspecto "shaggy" o despeinado.
Patas: Son largas y de un color azul cobalto o negruzco.
Tamaño: Mide entre 68 y 82 cm de largo, con una envergadura de unos 116 a 125 cm.
Comportamiento y Alimentación
Se le apoda el "T-Rex de las marismas" por su estilo de caza agresivo y enérgico:
Baile de Pesca: A diferencia de otras garzas que esperan inmóviles, la rojiza corre, salta y gira en aguas poco profundas para perseguir a los peces.
Pesca con dosel: A menudo extiende sus alas formando una sombra sobre el agua; esto reduce el reflejo del sol y atrae a los peces que buscan refugio en la sombra, facilitando su captura.
Dieta: Se alimenta principalmente de pequeños peces, aunque también consume ranas y crustáceos.
Hábitat y Distribución
Es una especie casi exclusivamente costera.
Ubicación: Se encuentra en las costas del Golfo de México, el Caribe, América Central y el norte de Sudamérica. En EE. UU., es común en Texas y Florida.
Entorno: Prefiere marismas saladas, lagunas costeras, manglares y llanuras de marea.
=======ENGLISH========
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron celebrated for being the most energetic and "theatrical" hunter of the heron family. It is best known for its frantic, dance-like fishing technique.
Physical Appearance
This species is unique because it exists in two distinct color morphs, regardless of age or sex:
Dark Morph (Most Common): Features a slate-grey body with a contrasting shaggy, reddish-cinnamon neck and head.
White Morph: Completely white plumage.
Key Features:
Bill: Distinctive two-toned bill—bright pink at the base with a black tip.
Eyes: Pale, yellowish-white irises that give it a piercing gaze.
Legs: Long, cobalt-blue to blackish legs.
Size: Stands about 27–32 inches (68–82 cm) tall with a wingspan of approximately 46–49 inches.
The "Canopy" Hunting Behavior
The Reddish Egret’s hunting style is its most famous trait. Unlike other herons that stand still, it:
Dances: Runs through shallow water, spinning, leaping, and flapping its wings to startle fish.
Canopying: It often arches its wings over its head to create a shadow (canopy) on the water. This reduces glare, allowing the bird to see prey better, and lures fish into the shade for safety—at which point the egret strikes.
Habitat and Conservation
Range: A strictly coastal bird found along the Gulf Coast of the US (Texas, Florida), Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.
Habitat: It stays near salt water, favoring tidal flats, lagoons, and salt marshes.
Conservation: It is considered one of the rarest herons in North America, largely due to habitat loss and historical hunting for the plume trade.
