Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

Living in cities one rarely sees some of the varieties of birds. The solitary kingfisher perched high on the electric wire behind it a beautiful dark blue sky with fresh breeze blowing. It was looking down probably trying to look for food. There are roughly 90 species of kingfishers. All have large heads, long, sharp, pointed bills, short legs, and stubby tails. Most species have bright plumage with few differences between the sexes and most species are tropical in distribution, and a slight majority are found only in forests.

Wikipedia: The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), also known as the Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.
Male - right - Female - left side. The Red-necked Tanager is a beautiful tanager, with mainly bright grass green underparts; a brilliant scarlet-red chin that broadens over the cheeks, neck, and nape; a dark blue crown and throat; and orange-yellow wing-coverts. The species is restricted to eastern South America; it is almost endemic to eastern Brazil, but the distribution also extends to adjacent eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. This couple was visiting the feeders of Sítio Espinheiro Negro, São Paulo, Brazil.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

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!

Canard Colvert
Edmundston, Nouveau-Brunswick
Canard typique dans son aire de distribution, présent partout près de l’eau : parcs urbains, ruisseaux d’arrière-cour et divers habitats humides. Mâle, tête verte, poitrine marron et corps gris. Femelle brun tacheté, bec orange à grosses taches noires. À l’avant et à l’arrière du miroir bleu, barres alaires blanches plus visibles que chez le Canard noir et le Canard brun.

Mallard
Edmundston, New Brunswick
A large duck, generally common and familiar within its extensive range. Males are distinctive with iridescent green head, yellow bill, chestnut breast, and gray body. Females are mottled brown with orange and black splotches on the bill. Found anywhere with water, including city parks, backyard creeks, and various wetland habitats. Often in flocks, and frequently mixes with other duck species. In North America, females can be tricky to distinguish from American Black Duck, Mottled Duck, and Mexican Duck where ranges overlap. Those species are all darker-bodied than Mallard. A good view of the wing can be helpful, too: white wingbars on the leading and trailing edges of the blue wing patch are bolder on Mallard.

Mountain hares live in Scotland and the North. They graze on vegetation and nibble bark from young trees and bushes. Hares shelter in a ‘form’, which is simply a shallow depression in the ground or heather, but when disturbed, can be seen bounding across the moors using their powerful hind legs to propel them forwards, often in a zigzag pattern. Mountain hares live in upland areas and are most common on heathland; they are at their most visible in spring, when the snow has melted but the hares are still white.
Behaviour
Mountain hares are grey-brown with a blue tinge in summer and turn white during the winter – only their ear tips stay black. The Irish hare may remain brown even in winter and its coat has a reddish tinge. Mountain hares are larger than rabbits, but smaller than brown hares and have shorter ears.
Size
Length: 60cm
Weight: 4kg
Average lifespan: 4 years
Status
Classified as a Priority Species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.
Distribution
Found in the highlands of Scotland and in the Peak District.
When to see
Jan – Dec
Facts
Unlike the brown hare, which is thought to have been introduced by the Celts during the Iron Age, the mountain hare is native to Britain. However, it is only native to the Scottish Highlands and was translocated elsewhere.
Goshawk is quite a rare breeding bird in Britain, and the distribution is quite patchy, but with a small concentration in the Peak District, where I photographed this one. It was extirpated as a breeding bird in Britain towards the end of the nineteenth century. But it reappeared in 1938 and the numbers have gradually built-up to around 620 pairs today. The expansion accelerated during the 1970s.
The size difference between males and females is particularly marked in Goshawks, with females weighing about 1.5kg but the smaller males only reach 0.85kg. This is an immature female, identified as a young bird by the stripes down the body (adults have cross barring like this www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/49647913843/in/photolist ). You can see by the shape of the wings that she is powerfully flapping rather than gliding.

One of the underwater jewel in my country. Absolutely love them
Habitat: Peat swamp and tannin-tainted water
I occasionally have to be careful how I frame a natural landscape or be willing to use the clone brush tool rather more than I would like, all to stop these towers poking their way into my photos. Sometimes however you've just got to let them take centre stage...
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.
Seldom seen in daylight this time of year, Ohio Street's second shift workhorse Y233 delivers a single box car (ex-Amtrak) to the Sonwil Distribution Center, off of Ship Canal Pkwy near Tifft.
Sonwil is one of two customers located on "The Lehigh" (the other being CertainTeed), which connects Ohio Street Yard and CP Draw at the north end to Seneca Yard and the South Buffalo Railway to the south. This connection is used daily by CN L531, the daily Canadian transfer train from Port Robinson, ON to South Buffalo, and a few times a week by CSX to either serve their customers or as part of a wye move to turn covered hoppers for General Mills. (Certain hoppers can only be unloaded from one side inside their plant.) The lone box car here is a far cry from the 10 spots available, which have been known to be completely full at times. Neighboring Sonwil to the left is their newly finished Four Square warehouse, which seems to finally have been completed in the last year. However, despite having been laid two and a half years ago, the brand new track alongside the building remains untouched, having yet to see any rail traffic. In fact, directly behind me was a mound of snow covering the start of that track. The lack of any cars here continues to be a puzzling move, following the discontinuation of rail service in September 2023 at their Depew location on the A Industrial, siding in favor of starting up the new warehouse. With locations connected by rail also in Niagara Falls and West Seneca via NS, there's certainly no lack of options for them. Of note, neither of those locations are rail active either, but the infrastructure exists. In the case of Niagara Falls, the track which leads to that location is presently out of service, near the end of the Junction Industrial line downtown. The building Sonwil occupies was formerly part of the Niagara Falls Nabisco plant, whose silos still stand empty today 20+ years since their last usage. Ironically this time last year in January 2024, the West Seneca location was actually looking to reactivate with NS, citing displeasure with delays in switching by CSX at Tifft. NS cleaned the track up and made sure it was in ready condition, but Sonwil never once received a car there either all year long. The West Seneca location was known to previously receive refrigerated box cars. For one reason or another, it's as if Sonwil can't seem to make up their minds on what they want, despite the railroads' willingness to work with them. In the meantime 'ol reliable at Tifft seems to get the job done just fine. To see some more rail traffic generated on their behalf would be a bright spot in a region which continues to lose a couple customers every year.

The lateral lobes of the labellum in Amesiella monticola are straight whereas the lateral lobes of Amesiella pihilippinensis are rounded (this feature is most noticeable when the labella are flattened).
