Instructions For Life:

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it.”

Carrara

Part of the Railway system that was built beginning 1871 and ended in 1890 to transport the Marbel Blocks from the quarries in the mountains to the Port in Marina di Carrara.

The line was long more than 22 km leading from the docks up to the altitude of 445 meters in the middle of the quarries and tackle gradients that could reach, in some sections, 70 per thousand, on standard gauge tracks.

Of the two 19th-century viaducts, the smaller one, called Canalpiccino, leads to the Torano area and is supported by three high arches, while the larger one, with its five arches 38 meters high (at its highest point), is undoubtedly the most admired.

I was having lunch and a visitor showed up... Needless to say I ran for the camera...This is only the 3rd time I have seen them and one of the times I couldn't get the camera from the office quick enough...:-(

Northern Flicker Portrait

wind ruffled above Johnson Creek in Portland, Oregon.

A second family of Northern Flickers has been showing up at the suet feeder. These are even younger than the first three, as they have none of the adult colouring at all yet. The father tried to show them how to feed from the suet, but they were only interested in getting him to feed them. There's a video here that shows what he has to contend with.

There were three Flickers chasing each other through the trees out front. This one landed down in the next door neighbors lawn and had a snack in between the games. :-)

This one was playing peek-a-boo around the tree the feeders are in.

As you can see there is a pecking order even in birds... The Flicker is larger so the little Starling has to wait for the larger bird to finish before it can have a chance at the feeder... This shot was taken from my kitchen window, last winter !!!

Adult and offspring Flicker sharing suet with a Stellers Jay.

The red-shafted Northern Flicker is a colorful woodpecker.

This is a female Northern Flicker and its eating from a tail prop suet feeder. Woodpeckers like to prop themselves on the feeder like they do a tree.

It's been another extraordinary bird species day! There have been 19 species and among those were at least 150 starlings in our trees out back.

We need more bird food! :)
