Redshank - Tringa Totanus
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. They are uncommon vagrants outside these areas.
They are wary and noisy birds which will alert everything else with their loud piping call. Like most waders, they feed on small invertebrates. Redshanks will nest in any wetland, from damp meadows to saltmarsh, often at high densities. They lay 3–5 eggs.
The common redshank is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
It is widely distributed and quite plentiful in some regions, and thus not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.

Happy birding 💧
Last Friday was really a wonderful crisp, fresh smelling, blue sky day... it was also a good birding and photography day for me... but this is not about me...
I think this GRAH is just such a incredibly beautiful bird. What a sight... and it just gets me thinking (never good)... I wish more birds and animals were better protected. I hope things continue to improve in that way. We still need to do more to protect them...
Well, sorry... enough said... anyway... a pretty good shot here, I think... a huge shout out to the Jordan Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN). We need more folks like them. I have to say Jordan and Jordanians are amazing and wonderful...
This waterfall is the highlight of the conservation area, located in the picturesque hamlet of Belfountain, Ontario Canada.

So good to see this small river flowing again. For too many months of the year this is a dry river bed in Morialta Conservation Park but with the recent rains we have had its bringing a welcome lushness to the park.
The Conservatory Hesketh Park, Southport, England.This superb Victorian Glass building was relocated to Hesketh Park in 1878 having previously been part of a private residence in the town.In recent times it has been neglected by the local council so that quite a lot of remedial work is now needed.Thankfully funding has been obtained to restore it to its former glory. HSS.
So many people like to come to this conservation area to fish, the park service kindly built several of these small fishing piers for them. People used to have to sit on the muddy banks in the weeds to fish.
I've seen some pretty hefty Bass pulled from these ponds!
I saw this plant at Tamala Park Conservation area. Not sure what it is and i suspect it may be a weed but I genuinely don't know. It was very cute and about the size of my fist.

The bulls get most of the attention during the elk rut, but I enjoy watching and photographing the cows and calves too. The calves seem mostly unfazed by all the craziness around them, only scurrying away from any danger when a bull gets too close.
This youngster calmly contemplates its next nibble of willows.
I may take another day away from Flickr tomorrow for a day trip to our local National Wildlife Refuge. Reports of many swans and eagles are to tempting to ignore.

Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Dryobates borealis)
Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, U.S.A.
A Red-cockaded Woodpecker clings to a longleaf pine, momentarily pausing from his relentless drilling.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has played a crucial role in the survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the Southeastern United States. Since its listing as an endangered species in 1973, federal protection has facilitated active conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and management on federal lands such as national forests and military installations. I've seen firsthand the positive impact of this protection on numerous Army installations across the American Southeast. As a result of these efforts, this species has been downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened," marking a major milestone in its recovery.
Great Horned Owl
The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) with its long, earlike tufts, intimidating yellow-eyed stare, and deep hooting voice, the Great Horned Owl is the quintessential owl of storybooks. This powerful predator can take down birds and mammals even larger than itself, but it also dines on daintier fare such as tiny scorpions, mice, and frogs. It’s one of the most common owls in North America, equally at home in deserts, wetlands, forests, grasslands, backyards, cities, and almost any other semi-open habitat between the Arctic and the tropics.
