Atlantic Royal Flycatcher - male - Vulnerable - Royal Flycatcher is very widespread, with a distribution that extends from southern Mexico south to the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Throughout this broad area, Royal Flycatcher inhabits the lower levels of humid evergreen or deciduous forests, although it also ranges into mature second growth, and edges. Royal Flycatcher exhibits notable geographic variation across this range, and so some authors recognize as many as four species of royal flycatcher: a northern species that occurs from Mexico to northern Colombia and northern Venezuela; a Pacific species (occidentalis) that is restricted to southwestern Ecuador and adjacent Peru; an Amazonian species, which is widespread in northern and central South America east of the Andes; and an Atlantic species (swainsoni), that occurs only in southeastern Brazil. Two of these populations, occidentalis and swainsoni, are potentially at risk of extinction. All of these taxa are flycatchers with a long bill and tail; the plumage is mostly brown, with a rufous or ochraceous tail. The most notable feature of Royal Flycatcher is the long ornate crest, which is red to orange (paler in females), with black and blue spotting. This crest usually is recumbent, giving the flycatcher a distinctive "hammerhead" appearance. When fully erect, however, the crest also is flared laterally; although it is rare to see the crest erected in a free flying Royal Flycatcher, these birds are well known for fanning the crest when held in the hand, while rhythmicaly swaying the head from side to side. The nest of Royal Flycatcher is a very long, sack like structure suspended from a slender branch or vine, and frequently is placed over a stream (or a small clearing) in the forest. Birds of The World.

The Atlantic Royal Flycatcher raises its fan very rarely. It took me more than 3 hours observing this individual to get this photo. I can say it was my Christmas gift.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas full of love, peace and joy!

Eastern Screech Owl

The Eastern Screech Owl or Eastern screech-owl (Megascops asio) is a small owl that is relatively common in Eastern North America, from Mexico to Canada. This species is native to most wooded environments of its distribution and, more so than any other owl in its range, has adapted well to manmade development, although it frequently avoids detection due to its strictly nocturnal habits.

Finally Out of the Heat! by Lois Campbell

Well, the Cat Distribution System has struck again. After months of feeding Inky outside and earning her trust, we got her in a cat carrier and took her to the vet last week. Turns out she tested negative for FeLV and FIV, as well as heartworms. She has no parasites, either. So we decided to see if she would be happy as an indoor cat. She seems to be very happy to be out of the elements. I gave her a blanket that the Oriental Shorthairs loved to sleep in and she immediately started making biscuits and purring. She didn't purr when she was outside. We isolated her for a couple days from the other cats and are introducing them slowly. So far things are going well and everyone is getting along. While we didn't need another cat, apparently the universe decided we did. Welcome to the family Inky!

Two Fiordland Penguins, somehow miraculously keeping their balance on the steep trail to their nest site by Ron Fredrick

34 11

Photographed in New Zealand

Please click twice on the image to view at the largest size

Since I was a young boy, I always associated penguins with ice and snow...but no longer...several years ago I photographed penguins on a beach in Cape Town, Africa and have now photographed two different species of penguins in New Zealand.

We had to keep our distance from this colony of penguins and I was frankly amazed to see them emerge from the sea and do a slow trek up a very steep hill to their nesting site.

Penguins are incredibly graceful and at home in the water but, on land, not so much...which is why I found their ability to climb that steep hill was so impressive.

======================

From Wikipedia: The Fiordland penguin (Eudyptes pachyrhynchus), also known as the Fiordland crested penguin (in Māori, tawaki or pokotiwha), is a crested penguin species endemic to New Zealand. It currently breeds along the south-western coasts of New Zealand's South Island as well as on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands. Because it originally ranged beyond Fiordland, it is sometimes referred to as the New Zealand crested penguin.

Description:

The Fiordland penquin has a prominent yellow crest on its head

This species is a medium-sized, yellow-crested, black-and-white penguin, growing to approximately 60 cm (24 in) long and weighing on average 3.7 kg (8.2 lb), with a weight range of 2 to 5.95 kg (4.4 to 13.1 lb). It has dark, bluish-grey upperparts with a darker head, and white underparts. Its broad, yellow eyebrow-stripe extends over the eye and drops down the neck. It can be distinguished from the similar erect-crested penguin (Eudyptes sclateri) and Snares penguin (Eudyptes robustus) in having no bare skin around the base of its bill. Female Fiordland penguins lay a clutch of two eggs where the first-laid egg is much smaller than the second egg, generally hatches later, and shows higher mortality, demonstrating a brood reduction system that is unique from other avian groups.

Distribution and habitat:

This penguin nests in colonies among tree roots and rocks in dense temperate coastal forest. It breeds along the shores in the West Coast of the South Island, south of about Bruce Bay and the Open Bay Islands, around Fiordland and Foveaux Strait, and on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands. Fossils of this species have been found as far north as the northern end of the South Island, and they probably once nested in the North Island as well. Their range drastically reduced by hunting in Polynesian times, and they are now only found in the least-populated part of New Zealand. The species is also present in Australia.

Diet:

The main prey species reported are cephalopods (85%, mainly arrow squid, Nototodarus sloanii), followed by crustaceans (13%, primarily krill, Nyctiphanes australis) and fish (2%, mainly red cod and hoki). However, the importance of cephalopods might be exaggerated. Prey taken seems to vary between Codfish Island and northern Fiordland.

Ukraine - Humanitarian aid - May 2022 - Photo by Mickael Franci by Cordaid

A Caritas Ukraine distribution point for food, water, medicines and other essential goods in the city centre of Ivano-Frankyvsk. Staff and volunteers provide 1200 meals a day for displaced people.

Romana Zarovetska (61):

"For almost 29 years I have been cooking for poor people in the city. I am a professional cook and I used to work in restaurants. Now I only work for Caritas.

Right now, I'm making rice porridge with sausages and carrot salad.

I get lots of compliments on my cooking from the people who come here to get food. My approach is this: if my husband and children like it, then I will cook it for other people as well.

My favourite dish to make is borsch, the traditional Ukrainian beetroot soup."

---

Large parts of Ukraine have been in a state of war since 2014. But since February 2022, the lives of all Ukrainians have been severely affected by violence, shortages of goods and food and a major displacement crisis.

In Ukraine, Cordaid funds partner organisations through Caritas Internationalis, a global network of Catholic aid organisations.

Caritas staff and volunteers have geared up and they are working day and night (not an exaggeration) to support people who have fled their homes with sometimes nothing more than the clothes they had on or those who, for whatever reason, cannot flee and are stuck in a warzone.

The western part of the country, and especially the city of Lviv, has become a humanitarian hub after the situation in the east deteriorated.

Trucks full of goods from neighbouring countries, often purchased with money from private donors from all over Europe, arrive there to be unloaded in storage spaces.

With great efficiency, aid workers load up their own trucks and start driving to the cities in the east, that have been suffering continuous air raids and bombings, and where, in some cases, people are still living in between the rubble.

Caritas does not only distribute food, water, clothes and medicines, they also provide a home for hundreds of displaced people or guide them to the border in case they are looking for safety outside of the country.

There is extra care for children in special centres or in family run orphanages, where they can learn, play and live at a safe distance from the ongoing violence.

In cities throughout the country, Caritas has set up tents where the most essential goods are being distributed and food kitchens where displaced people and others struggling with the hardship can get a daily warm meal. To give just an example: in the city of Ivano-Frankyvsk volunteers provide meals for 1200 people each day.

Many of those who are working in this immense humanitarian operation have suffered the consequences of the conflict themselves. It's a cliché, but it's true: war often brings out both the worst and the best in us.

According to my analysis,

the math is over.

No more sad statistics

from the year of fear and loss.

But it meant nothing to you,

you small sum of a bird,

the axiom of my logic.

You were too busy with your own estimates,

with equating your chances

from the coordinates

of a proven sweet solution.

You’ve become a garden constant,

flying square routes and triangles,

adding to the measure of my work.

“Simplify the variables,” you sing,

then, in a fraction of a blur,

you dance the impossible graph of your ardour.

Arctic Tern by ZILL NIAZI

30 100

The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a circumpolar breeding distribution covering the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. The species is strongly migratory, seeing two summers each year as it migrates from its northern breeding grounds along a winding route to the oceans around Antarctica and back, a round trip of about 70,900 km each year.

Arctic Terns are medium-sized birds. They have a length of 33–39 cm (13–15 in) and a wingspan of 76–85 cm (26–30 in). They are mainly grey and white plumaged, with a red beak (as long as the head, straight, with pronounced gonys) and feet, white forehead, a black nape and crown (streaked white), and white cheeks.

Arctic Terns are long-lived birds, with many reaching thirty years of age. They eat mainly fish and small marine invertebrates. The species is abundant, with an estimated one million individuals.

The eastern great egret (Ardea alba modesta), a white heron in the genus Ardea, is usually considered a subspecies of the great egret (A. alba). In New Zealand it is known as the white heron or by its Māori name kōtuku. Measuring 83–103 cm in length and weighing 0.7–1.2 kg, the eastern great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Its bill is black in the breeding season and yellow at other times, and its long legs are red or black. The colours of the bare parts of the face change to green during the breeding season. The breeding plumage is also marked by long neck plumes and a green facial area. The eastern great egret can be distinguished from other white egrets and herons in Asia and Australia by its very long neck, one and a half times as long as its own body. The eastern great egret has a wide distribution throughout Asia and Oceania, with breeding populations in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Nepal, India, Indochina, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Russia (north-eastern), Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The egret breeds across Australia but only rarely in the southwest of the continent or dry interior. The largest colonies within Australia are in the Top End and Channel Country, which can number several thousand pairs. Colonies in the southeast of Australia can number several hundred pairs. The bird is an uncommon autumn and winter visitor to Tasmania. 49177
