I don't know much about this plant, but I do know that I was impressed with its tall and yellow/orange flower...

The Common Raven is an acrobatic flier, often doing rolls and somersaults in the air. One bird was seen flying upside down for more than a half-mile. Young birds are fond of playing games with sticks, repeatedly dropping them, then diving to catch them in midair.

Her beauty is more subtle than the one of the male but a beauty none the less especially when observed in a Summery Decor like this one (IMHO) :).

Wikipedia: The common redshank or simply redshank (Tringa totanus) is a Eurasian wader in the large family Scolopacidae.

 

The common redshank is a widespread breeding bird across temperate Eurasia. It is a migratory species, wintering on coasts around the Mediterranean, on the Atlantic coast of Europe from Ireland and Great Britain southwards, and in South Asia.

I captured this Male Common Yellowthroat at Silver Creek Preserve in St. Clair County, Illinois.

The pond/common slider (Trachemys scripta) is a species of common, medium-sized, semiaquatic turtle. Hatchling and juvenile pond sliders have a greenish upper shell (carapace), yellow bottom shell (plastron), and green and yellow stripes and markings on their skin. These patterns and colors in the skin and shell fade with age until the carapace is a muted olive green to orange brown or brown and the plastron is a dull yellow or darker.

Common darter - Sympetrum striolatum

Like all lichens, Xanthoria parietina depends on symbiotic algae or other organisms living within the enclosing thallus of the fungus. The algae perform photosynthesis to produce sugars. In exchange the fungus provides nutrients and an amenable environment. In this case the Trebouxia algae are widespread and often free-living, inhabiting places like tree branches. The tough thallus conserves moisture and grows thicker in sunlight to protect the algae from intense solar radiation.

 

Common orange lichen doesn't disperse itself as easily as many lichens. It relies on mites that feed on it, then deposit fertile faecal pellets at new locations.

 

This species likes coastal habitats. In the Waterloo area, it often appears near rivers or streams. This one grows on an ash overshadowing Cedar Creek. Unlike many lichen it tolerates pollution and heavy metals. Its success over other lichens may indicate higher pollution levels.

 

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

Not ideal, with that twig in the foreground, but at least I got focus on it before it flew off. My first viewing of a common yellowthroat.

'SINGING OUT LOUD.'

 

Captured singing his heart out at the edge of an oilseed rape field in early summer. He was either very conspicuous, or skulking around in roadside vegetation.

 

BEST VIEWED LARGE.

One from the summer. Amazing to think they'll be south of the equator by now, not as far south as the Arctic Tern but still a fair mileage

Taken on a pullout on the Blue Ridge Parkway, around the Mt. Pisgah area.

I've never been able to capture so clear a photo of a Common Merganser before. She was most cooperative. A couple more to come.

 

Thanks for Viewing.
