Listening to Carole King today… another old Rocker that’s made beautiful music for a number of years.

The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

Have a Wonderful Day, Flickr Friends.
The Canada Goose is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. It has been introduced to the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands.
Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.
Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators. The success of this common park species has led to its often being considered a pest species because of its depredation of crops and its noise, droppings, aggressive territorial behavior towards both humans and other animals, and its habit of begging for food (caused by human hand feeding).
The oldest known wild Canada Goose was a female, and at least 33 years, 3 months old when she was shot in Ontario in 2001. She had been banded in Ohio in 1969.

.. la voici sur une centaurée
... est surnommée "l'abeille à culottes " Cela est dû aux longs poils dorés que la femelle possède sur ses pattes postérieures
donnant l'impression qu'elle porte un pantalon . L'abdomen de la femelle est sombre avec de fines bandes plus claires, alors que les mâles , légèrement plus fin est de couleur dorées. Cette espèce niche en bourgades dans les zones sablonneuses où elles creusent des galeries dans le sol, sous divisées en chambres dans lesquelles les larves se développent en se nourrissant d'un pain de pollen. L'entrée du nid est facilement repérable car elle es marquée par la présence d'un petit tas de sable semblable à de petits volcans
a Dasypoda à culotte réalise une cellule par jour et si la cellule n'a pas pu être terminée dans la journée elle est abandonnée. Ces abeilles sont très ingénieuses, dans chaque cellules la nourriture des futures abeilles repose sur trois petits pieds ou piliers qui auraient comme fonction d'éviter une moisissure prématurée. Elles récoltent le pollen et nectar exclusivement sur les astéracées et peuvent transporter des quantité de pollen très importantes grâces aux brosses de leurs pattes arrières.

I've been re-visiting some of the sunset shots taken when I first got my new camera... which is quite a while ago now.
Crystal clear mirror images are infrequent on Donner Lake due to wind and boats. This image is from the January 2019 archives.
Hope you have a good weekend; stay safe and remain positive! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
