Splendid Fairy-wren (female)
Scientific Name: Malurus splendens
Description: The breeding plumage of the male is predominantly blue, varying from cobalt-blue in the east of its range to violet-blue in the west.It has black bands at the base of the tail (absent in the violet-blue birds), across the breast and from the beak, through the eyes to join a band across the back of its neck. Its crown and cheek patches are paler blue. Wings and long tail are brown with a blue wash. His beak is black and his legs and feet are brown-grey. In non-breeding plumage, called eclipse, he is very similar to the female, being pale brown above and buff to white underneath although he retains the blue wash on wings and tail. The female does not have the blue wash on her wings, but does have a reddish-tan line from beak to eye that extends into a ring around her eye. Her beak is reddish-tan.
Similar species: The male in breeding plumage is quite distinct but in eclipse he is similar to the males of other fairy-wrens in eclipse. A faint wash of blue on male wings during eclipse distinguishes this species from others. The female is similar to females of other fairy-wren species, but has a bluer tail than most.
Distribution: These birds are widely distributed across Australia in two areas. One area is from about Shark Bay south through WA, through SA except the coast to about the Flinders Ranges and the southern and central parts of NT. The eastern area include SA from the Flinders Ranges, the far north-western tip of Vic, NSW east to about Moree and Balranald and south central Qld.
Habitat: These birds live in arid to semi-arid areas, in mostly dense shrublands or woodlands of acacia, and mallee eucalypt with dense shrubs.
Seasonal movements: These birds are mostly sedentary, defending a territory all year, but the younger females may disperse to another territory. In some areas they are semi-nomadic, depending on local conditions.
Feeding: Like most of the fairy-wrens, Splendid Fairy-wrens eat mostly insects and forage on both the ground and in shrubs. They live in groups which forage together.
Breeding: The Splendid Fairy-wren female builds an oval domed nest of dry grass, strips of bark and rootlets, with an entrance two thirds of the way up one side. The female is the only member of the group to incubate the eggs, but all members of the group feed the chicks.
Calls: A rapid series of slightly metallic, high-pitched pips that blend into an "undulating" call.
Minimum Size: 12cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 13cm
Average weight: 9g
Breeding season: mostly September-December, but can extend from August to April
Clutch Size: 2 to 4, mostly 3
Incubation: 15 days
Nestling Period: 11 days

Comb-creasted Jacana
Scientific Name: Irediparra gallinacea
Description: The Comb-crested Jacana, also known as the Lotusbird, has a red fleshy forehead comb, a black crown, back and breast and brown wings. The belly, face and throat are white, and there is a faint yellow tinge around the eye and throat. Both sexes are similar in appearance, but the female is larger than the male, and slightly brighter in colour. In flight, the long legs and toes trail behind the body. Young Jacanas resemble the adult birds, but are rufous to black on the head and nape, and have a rufous-black breast band. The red fleshy comb is much smaller and darker.
Distribution: Comb-crested Jacanas occupy coastal and sub-coastal regions from the Kimberleys, Western Australia, through northern Australia to about Grafton, New South Wales. They are more common in the north of their range. The species also occurs in New Guinea, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Habitat: Comb-crested Jacanas are found in tropical and subtropical freshwater wetlands, including lagoons, billabongs, swamps, lakes, rivers, sewage ponds and dams, providing there is adequate floating vegetation.
Seasonal movements: Comb-crested Jacanas will move to new locations, particularly in response to changes in their current habitat, such as droughts or excessive flooding.
Feeding: The Comb-crested Jacana feeds on aquatic insects, which it seizes from floating vegetation or the surface of the water. It also feeds on seeds and aquatic plants. Birds rarely come to shore. When searching for food, the Comb-crested Jacana bobs its head and flicks its tailed continuously.
Breeding: The female Comb-crested Jacana may mate with several males, while the male alone builds the nest, incubates the eggs and cares for the young. If danger threatens the young birds, the male has the curious habit of picking the chicks up under his wings and carrying them off to safety.
Minimum Size: 20cm
Maximum Size: 23cm
Average size: 21cm
Breeding season: September to May (later in the north than in the east)

Yesterday I gave a Composition in the Field class in the San Francisco Chinatown. I am an instructor at the Digital Photo Academy. We first went to a Leica camera store located just next to the Dragon's Gate. Indoor I explained the difference between ISO 100 and a high ISO 16,000. We left the store with my camera still set to the high ISO. Just as we left, a Chinese woman walked by with an umbrella. Perfect. I pointed my camera at the passerby - no time to adjust the camera settings. I got a single shot, way too high ISO, thus way overexposed and very grainy. I was surprised that HDR processing from the RAW file could recover quite a bit. The colors were washed out and a bit off in the background, so I partially desaturated the image, which also has the effect that the eyes of the observer are drawn to the woman with umbrella.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, and partially desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.

Australian Wood Duck
Scientific Name: Chenonetta jubata
Description: The Australian Wood Duck is a medium-sized 'goose-like' duck with a dark brown head and a pale grey body with two black stripes along the back. Males have the darker head and a small dark mane, with a speckled brown-grey breast and a black lower belly and undertail. The females have a paler head with two white stripes, above and below the eye, a speckled breast and flanks, with a white lower belly and undertail. In flight, the wings are pale grey above, contrasting with black wingtips, and have a noticeable white bar on the underside (the secondaries). They walk easily on land and may be seen perching on logs and in trees. They will only take to open water when disturbed. This species is also known as the Maned Duck or the Maned Goose.
Similar species: The Australian Wood Duck can be distinguished from pygmy geese,Nettapus spp, which are smaller, have bold white face markings and are usually seen on water. Whistling ducks, Dendrocygna spp, have longer legs and necks, larger more duck-like bills and tend to walk more upright. When flying, the Australian Wood Duck is the only duck with white secondary feathers and dark wingtips.
Distribution: The Australian Wood Duck is widespread in Australia, including Tasmania.
Habitat: The Australian Wood Duck is found in grasslands, open woodlands, wetlands, flooded pastures and along the coast in inlets and bays. It is also common on farmland with dams, as well as around rice fields, sewage ponds and in urban parks. It will often be found around deeper lakes that may be unsuitable for other waterbirds' foraging, as it prefers to forage on land.
Feeding: The Australian Wood Duck eats grasses, clover and other herbs, and occasionally, insects. It is rarely seen on open water, preferring to forage by dabbling in shallow water, or in grasslands and crops.
Breeding: The Australian Wood Duck forms monogamous breeding pairs that stay together year round. It nests in tree holes, above or near water, often re-using the same site. Both parents feed young and young birds remain with them up to a month after fledging.
Calls: Females have long, loud, rising: 'gnow?' while male calls are shorter and higher pitched. Flocks chatter when feeding.
Minimum Size: 44cm
Maximum Size: 50cm
Average size: 47cm
Breeding season: September to November in the south; after rain in the north.
Clutch Size: 8 to 10 eggs
Incubation: 28 days
Nestling Period: 57 days

Verbier : Mont fort and the Grand Combin.Canton of Valais, Switzerland. Izakigur 25.02.11, 13:50:41.
I appreciate and honoured for your kind and inspiring comments. Together makes us stronger... I appreciate this opportunity to learn from each other...Thats the meaning of this collaboration and sharing . Take care ...keep on doing . )
Me.
"Mont Fort is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located near Verbier in the Swiss canton of Valais. It lies on the range between the valleys of Bagnes and Nendaz, north of the Rosablanche. With a height of 3,328 metres above sea level, Mont Fort is the highest summit north of the Col de Louvie (2,921 m).
Mont Fort is surrounded by several glaciers, the largest being the Glacier de Tortin, on its northwestern side. The second largest is the Glacier du Mont Fort, located on its northeastern side. On its eastern side lies the lower summit Petit Mont Fort (3,135 m). The Glacier du Petit Mont Fort lies between the two summits. There are no glaciers on the south side of the mountain. A small lake named Lac du Petit Mont Fort (2,764 m) lies on the south flank.
The summit of Mont Fort is easily accessible by cable car from the heights of Verbier or Nendaz. The cable cars from the two valleys converge at the intermediate station (2,894 m) north of the Col des Gentianes, the upper section reaching a height of 3,308 metres. In the winter and early spring season, the mountain, including the Glacier de Tortin, is the culminating point of the 4 Vallées ski area.
Der Mont Fort ist mit einer Höhe von 3'329,0 m ü. M. der höchste mit einer Bahn erschlossene Berg in der Region 4 Vallées in den Walliser Alpen. Der Berg ist von Verbier aus zu erreichen mit der Gondelbahn und Sessellift nach La Chaux - Luftseilbahn Col des Gentianes - Mont Fort. Auf der Plattform der Bergstation befindet sich ein Iglu mit 25 Plätzen, in dem man sich mit einem Fondue verpflegen kann. Von der Bergstation der Seilbahn führt ein felsiger Steig zum Gipfel-Kreuz. Von der Spitze des Mont Fort sieht man über fünfzig Berggipfel, darunter das Matterhorn, den Dent Blanche, den Dent d’Hérens und den Mont Blanc. In der näheren Umgebung sind die vergletscherten Gipfel von Rosablanche und des Grand Combins mit dem Glacier de Corbassière zu sehen.[1]
Die 125-Personen-Seilbahn aus Richtung Siviez über Tortin zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1982 gebaut, ebenso ein Gletscherlift auf dem Glacier de Tortin. Später wurde ein parallel verlaufender Gletscherlift ergänzt. Die Gipfelbahn wurde 1983 fertiggestellt. Die als Jumbo titulierte Pendelbahn (150 Personen-Gondel) aus Richtung Verbier von La Chaux zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1987 gebaut. Der Sommerskibetrieb wurde 1999 eingestellt. Seit der Wintersaison 2007/2008 können auch die Gletscherlifte nicht mehr betrieben werden."

Période de nourrissage chez le busard cendré.
J'ai passé beaucoup de temps à l'affût pour photographier ce busard en vol. En période de nourrissage, il peut rester de longs moments près des petits puis repartir en chasse. L'approche est très rapide, le busard cendré se pose vite dans les blés, ne restant que de trop brèves secondes devant l'objectif.
Bonne journée à tous.

Sharp-tailed Sandpiper
Scientific Name: Calidris acuminata
The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is the most dinky-di of all migratory shorebirds that visit Australia, carrying the rich ochre colours of the red centre in the plumage on its head and back. It is also finely tuned into Australiaâs boom-and-bust ecology â in years of inland floods, few birds travel to our southern shores, preferring, instead, to gorge on the banks of inland floodplains, such as the Diamantina. This way, they save themselves travelling thousands of kilometres. They are the international guest star in the festival of the living desert.
Description: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a medium sized wader with a straight black bill that has an olive-grey base. It has a chestnut crown and nape, a white eyebrow, and reddish brown upperparts, with each feather having a black centre. The rump and tail are black, with white outer margins visible in flight. The wings have an indistinct white bar. The breast and flanks are white, streaked and speckled black, with a reddish brown tinge on the chest, grading into a white belly and undertail. The legs are olive. This species is commonly seen with other waders during its migration from northern breeding grounds.
Similar Species: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is very similar to most other sandpipers, especially the Pectoral Sandpiper, C. melanotos, but may be distinguished from this species by having no clearcut division between the breast and belly markings, olive (rather than yellow) legs, and a chestnut (rather than dark) head.
Distribution: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a summer migrant from Arctic Siberia, being found on wetlands throughout Australia. It is also found in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia and New Zealand. It is a vagrant to India, Europe, western North America, Fiji and other parts of the central Pacific region.
Habitat: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper prefers the grassy edges of shallow inland freshwater wetlands. It is also found around sewage farms, flooded fields, mudflats, mangroves, rocky shores and beaches. Its breeding habitat in Siberia is the peat-hummock and lichen tundra of the high Arctic.
Feeding: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper feeds on aquatic insects and their larvae, as well as worms, molluscs, crustaceans and sometimes, seeds. It is often found in large flocks, often with other waders, foraging in shallow waters.
Breeding: The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper breeds in the short Siberian summer (June to August). Its nest is a well-hidden shallow hollow on the ground, lined with grass and leaves. The female incubates the eggs and raises the young alone.
