Grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum), East African subspecies (B. r. gibbericeps), are omnivores, eating plants, seeds, grain, insects, frogs, worms, snakes, small fish and the eggs of aquatic animals. Stamping their feet as they walk, they flush out insects which are quickly caught and eaten. Samburu National Reserve, Kenya. Conservation status: Endangered
It is always exciting to find and photograph a Barred Owl. To catch an adult preparing to feed the youngsters a Garter Snake is a real treat! I assume for both the photographer and the young owls.

Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.

As far as iconic pieces of public art go, none may be as daringly modern or whimsical as Minneapolis’ iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry.
This giant spoon and cherry was erected in 1985 by artist Claes Oldenburg and his wife, Coosje van Bruggen and is the centerpiece of the Walker Art Center’s Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the largest urban sculpture park in the world. Oldenburg is an artist who is known for making oversized versions of everyday objects and food products. Together with his wife he set up a number of public sculptures, including Chicago’s Batcolumn sculpture. The spoon was Oldenburg’s idea, who had a habit of doodling spoons ever since 1962 when he was inspired by a spoon resting on a piece of fake chocolate. The cherry in the piece was van Bruggen’s idea, wanting to use it as a comment on the garden’s otherwise staid layout.
The spoon itself weighs 5,800 pounds and the cherry, another 1,200 pounds. The cherry’s stem also acts as a fountain which sprays into the bowl of the spoon and off into the pond beneath. Even the pond itself has meaning, being shaped to resemble a linden seed, drawing attention to the rows of linden trees planted nearby.
The city of Minneapolis seems to have largely embraced the massive sculpture, expressing almost universal outrage when Spoonbridge and Cherry was vandalized in 2012 as part of a “Kony 2012” protest. The artwork was cleaned up and still remains as a somewhat goofy, definitely unforgettable icon of the Minnesota city.

A Clark's Grebe feeding its young. I found it so interesting to really watch these amazing birds and how they taught their young to fish and eat.

мy мυѕιc "Feed your head- Paul Kalkbrenner"
"One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
Remember what the Dormouse said
Feed your head!"
Closeup of a Sparkling Violetear (Colibri coruscans), about to feed. Seen here in the rainforest of Costa Rica.
I think the bird is a lesser whitethroat, but please tell me if you can id it! Sign that I can't get to landscapes...still...more birds and flowers...nearly a year since the last waterfall, gradually losing it (if I ever had it in the first place).

My husband built this birdhouse back in Alaska to specific sizes for swallows. Chickadees used it two years in a row. It stood high on a metal pole away from interlopers.
Then we moved here, birdhouse included, and finally, tree swallows! Sounds like quite a few hungry ones inside.
