After feeding a fish to the three chicks it's time for this adult Bald Eagle to move higher up in the nesting tree to stand guard.

I'll be catching up; maybe not so fast. I've been off a few days.

It's the adjustment mechanism on a 14-inch pipe wrench.

This little chap appeared to be on guard duty, though in truth was probably wondering where it's tea had got to.

……I walked up & down taking a few shots but she refused to look at me! Far more interesting things going on the Quarry (park) behind me - not that we could see anything!!! BTW, she lives in a nice house with fine views over the Quarry & the River (see 1st comment box), a quick grab shot on my phone for HFF - have a good one. Alan:-)…….

I have only seen peacocks "off duty." until now, I had never seen the tail feathers displayed and shaking and quivering to attract a mate... "On Duty"

What has happened to the art of respect? We are all human beings, made of flesh and blood, no-one is superior to anyone else. It is time to change the political rhetoric which is supposed to guide us. The language used these days is not fit for our children's ears, it needs to be cleaned up so that we can teach our children about love and diversity, not hate and non acceptance! It is President Trumps duty to lead by example, through educated behavior which can also benefit his own son.

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Tillie appears to be resting but is actually keeping a close eye on a toddler who was tossing stones close to the waters edge. Newfoundland Dogs have a tendency to try and keep kids from going into the water, it is part of their natural life saving instincts. :)

Chesterman Beach, Tofino, BC.

 

It's often misty along the coast around Tofino but this was also during some extreme haze that had travelled up the West Coast from forest fires in the US.

  

Wohooo - The Tyee asked me a few months ago if they could use this photo on an article and (I don't know how I missed it) here it is: thetyee.ca/Culture/2020/12/30/Coastlines-Cranberries-Come...

A plain, chunky bird with a “big mouth.” Found in foothill rainforest of western Ecuador and western Colombia. It’s mostly olive-brown with pale eyes and a stout bill. Forages at middle levels of the forest and may join mixed-species flocks. Sings incessantly early in the morning, giving loud whistles intermixed with scratchy twitters and squeaks. It can open its beak surprisingly wide while singing, giving the impression that it’s shouting. (eBird)

I've been going through my photo archive, updating names based on the latest taxonomy. As part of that work, I've come across photos that I've never processed or posted (usually because they were too grainy, fuzzy, etc.). New editing tools, though, have meant that a few will now see the light of day, like this one. Taken in the early hours of the morning by a less than perfect camera, it finally comes to light after some heavy duty editing.

 

Note: I had originally ID'd this bird as a South American Leaftosser (which is very similar to this). When I posted it on eBird, the reviewer got back to me almost immediately with a correction. Oh well, still a lifer and still the one and only time I've seen this bird.
