Long Term Intervention Monitoring project is currently underway in the Gwydir catchment.
As part of this monitoring program, solar powered RMCAM internet enabled cameras and weather sensors were recently installed in remote locations across the Gwydir Wetlands State Conservation Area.
There is good water availability in the wetlands this season due to prolonged water deliveries to the wetlands.
As luck would have it, a number of waterbirds have now set up nests, close to these cameras. Species include Little Pied Cormorants, Darters, Magpie Geese, Plumed Whistling Ducks and Australian White Ibis.
The camera is now set up to take images every 10 minutes.
The obvious advantage of using this approach is being able to monitor species/events etc in a remote location, with flexible regularity and without disturbance.
Found a cool 1974 Dodge Dart at the Canadian Tire in Campbell River. Here's some different angles and views using my wide angle 11-17 Tokina Lens.
Poison Dart Frogs are in a group of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae which are native to Central and South America. All wild Poison Dart Frogs are toxic in various degrees. However, of over 175 species, only four have been documented as being used by the Amerindians using the frogs' toxic secretions to poison the tips of blow darts.
Ruddy Darter, (Sympertrum sanguineum),
The male is readily identified by its very bright red adbomen, strongly constricted near the front and bearing prominent black marks on segments 8 and 9. The female has a yellowish and resembles the female Common Darter, but differs in having completely black legs and a yellow patch at the base of the hindwing. It breeds in well-vegetated ponds; flies June-September. Many of the insects seen in the British Isles are probably immigrants from the continent,.

This group contains the true dragonflies, which are gre generally larger and stouter than the damselflies and in which the hindwing is noticeably broader than the forewing, forewing, The insects always rest with their wings outspread, The eyes of most species meet in the middle of the head, The insects have two mainmethods of hunting, hawkers stay on the wing for long periods and may patrol a stretch of river or hedgerow all day, while darters remain perched for much of the time and merely fly out to snatch passing prey, There are 23 resident British species, and a few more occasional visitors from the continent,
One os a series of photos I took at our garden pond. I believe this is a "Common Darter" which took advantage of various plant stems to rest and scan for prey.

More shots of the first darter dragonfly in my garden this year. It was an amazing model and allowed me to try all sorts of angles on it

There were some pretty funky colors on my goop from the Dart Polaroid, and I was, unfortunately, overanxious in scanning it in (hence the weird bubble in the center of the image). Oh well. Chalking this up as a learning experience.
Image was scanned in, inverted, and then I messed with the contrast and levels some. Oh, I also cropped out the edge of the picture that had just turned bright cyan for some reason.
Dodge Dart 1972. The fourth generation of the Dart was launched with new styling in 1967, and this was refreshed in 1969. Performance versions were offered such as the Dart GTS, but for 1969 the Dart Swinger alone was offered with a 6.9-litre 240 engine as an option.
There is a rhino darting project in South Africa. Their goals are two-fold. First, they dart rhinos, notch their ears (as individual identfiers), and insert transponders into their horns. They use these modalities to study the population as a whole. The transponders also help to prevent poaching of the horns. Secondly, they are also capturing some male rhino and transporting them to areas where there are fewer rhino. In this particular region of South Africa, there is an overpopulation of male rhino, and they have actually begun to kill each other.
