On the east side of Windsor, Ontario is a housing development that includes this lovely park with a man-made pond. A gorgeous sunrise back in May literally painted the the Blue Heron pond in golden hues.
Day 9. It is MandaKemp 's birthday today, and as generous as ever I bought her some colouring pencils as a birthday gift. I'm not that mean though, I did get a colouring book to go with it too.

Scarlet Honeyeater
Scientific Name: Myzomela sanguinolenta
Description: The adult male Scarlet Honeyeater is a vivid scarlet red and black bird with whitish underparts. The females and immature birds are dull brown with dull white underparts and a reddish wash on the chin. In both sexes the tail is relatively short, the bill strongly curved and the eye is dark. This species is a small honeyeater, usually seen alone or in pairs, but occasionally in flocks, high in trees.
Similar species: The male Scarlet Honeyeater can be confused with the male Red-headed Honeyeater, M. erythrocephala, where their ranges overlap (east coast of Cape York Peninsula). It can be distinguished by having more extensive red colouring over the back and down the breast. Female and immature Scarlet Honeyeaters may be confused with similarly coloured honeyeaters, including females and immatures of the Red-headed and the Dusky Honeyeater, M. obscura, as well as the Brown Honeyeater, Lichmera indistincta. They differ from the Red-headed in being more olive-brown and lack red on the forehead. They are smaller and more compact than the Dusky, with a shorter bill and tail, as well as having different calls. They are smaller than the Brown Honeyeater and lack this species' eyespot.
Distribution: The Scarlet Honeyeater is found along the east coast of Australia, from Cooktown, Queensland to Gippsland, Victoria, but it is less common south of Sydney, being a summer migrant in the south. It is also found in Sulawesi, the Moluccas and Lesser Sundas, Indonesia and in New Caledonia.
Habitat: The Scarlet Honeyeater lives in open forests and woodlands with a sparse understorey, especially round wetlands, and sometimes in rainforests. It can be seen in urban areas in flowering plants of streets, parks and gardens.
Seasonal movements: Resident in the north of its range, seasonally migratory in south, with movements associated with flowering of food plants. It is considered nomadic around Sydney, following autumn- and winter-flowering plants.
Feeding: The Scarlet Honeyeater feeds mainly on nectar and sometimes on fruit and insects. It tends to feed in the upper levels of the canopy, foraging in flowers and foliage, usually singly, in pairs or small flocks. Often evicted by larger, more aggressive honeyeaters such as friarbirds.
Breeding:
The Scarlet Honeyeater breeds in pairs, with the more conspicuous male calling and displaying to the quieter females. The small cup nest is suspended from a horizontal branch or in a fork, and is made from fine bark and grass bound with spider web and lined with fine plant materials. The female incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes feed the young. Up to three broods may be produced per season.
Calls: Males have a silvery tinkling song, which is sung from a prominent perch. Also, 'chiew chiew' contact calls made by both sexes.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 11cm
Average size: 10cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: July to January
Clutch Size: Usually 2
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 12 days

Beautiful birds in their own right even without the striking black, red and yellow colouring found on the males.
I found this Fritillaria meleagris, commonly called snake's head fritillary or chess flower, in a park last Sunday. Although usually my favourites are the purple ones I liked the colouring of this variety too and the way the two flower heads emerge from one stem.

Another Coot image...why not...I think they are cool looking birds. they are very common here, maybe even outnumbering Canada Geese in the summer, if that is possible, or at least it seems like it.
I do find the adults to be very unphotogenic, with the dark colouring and very light bill, they can be very difficult to render detail in. So I guess it is good that there are large numbers of them giving me many attempts at capturing the detail that is hard to get.
It is hard to see, but the adult has a wee tiny minnow that it is about to feed this always hungry wee one. I love seeing them follow the adults around constantly wanting food. They really are a lot of fun to watch.
I bought myself a colouring book and some crayons for wet days in Cornwall. Those wet days didn't happen. so for the long winter nights I have a colouring book and crayons.
Another image from the Bunclody Golf and Fishing club treelined avenue which was taken yesterday. It is certainly a different day today, cloudy and blustery with not much sun. But yesterday was glorious as you can see. Blue skies and glorious sunshine that really enhanced the beauty of the autumnal colours especially on this wonderful tree lined avenue
I did not really have time to ponder and then create for the macro group theme. I am very tired after driving to Guelph for rehearsal today and playing a gig yesterday afternoon in Brantford that went extremely well.
The lovely Bar owner Lyn paid us $100.00 extra so that we all made 100.00 each. It was that crowded. Very cool indeed.
So all that said and done, I just picked an old photo and dressed it very little and voila.
Happy Macro Monday.
