Today was wet and dark and I was relegated to backyard birding. Luckily I was visited by a pair of evening grosbeak!
Back out to Columbia Valley this morning and no luck on Mountain Bluebirds but I did find some Evening Grosbeaks. The Grosbeaks were down on the side of the road feeding on either salt, sand or seed. I suspect since they were there for at least an hour it was spilled seed from one of the feed trucks suppling the farms in the area.

BR standard class 9F number 92220 Evening Star is a preserved British steam locomotive completed in 1960. It was the last steam locomotive to be built by British Railways. It was the only British main line steam locomotive earmarked for preservation from the date of construction. It was the 999th locomotive of the whole British Railways Standard range.
Evening Star was recorded hauling passenger express trains at over 90 mph (140 km/h) on its Red Dragon and Capitals United Express runs.

A late first upload today as well, since I've spent much time photographing all the interesting birds in my neighbourhood today too (and finding a brand new species for me and our municipality!) I will show that one tomorrow.
But here is one from the archive:
It was lovely to suddenly be surrounded by a big elephant family, in an open jeep in South Africa - listening to them and studying them for a long time.

Der sogenannte Kaiserbahnhof in Brühl-Kierberg gilt als eines der schönsten Empfangsgebäude Deutschlands. Es wurde 1877 am Ende der von der Brühler Innenstadt heraufführenden Kaiserstraße in einem kleinen Park errichtet. Seine besonders aufwändige Gestaltung verdankt es Kaiser Wilhelm I., dem der Bahnhof als Zwischenhalt für seine jährlichen Besuche der Herbstmanöver in der Eifel diente. Für den kaiserlichen Zug war extra ein Abstellgleis auf der nördlichen Streckenseite angelegt. Insofern war der historische Bahnhof auch im Sinne der Reichsbahndefinition ein echter Bahnhof. Vom Bahnhof fuhr der Kaiser mit der Kutsche über die Kaiserstraße zum Brühler Schloss, in dem er übernachtete. Der den Bahnhof umgebende Park ist mit zahlreichen Plastiken nach antiken Vorbildern geschmückt. Der Raub der Proserpina wurde mutmaßlich für eine der Pariser Weltausstellungen geschaffen.
