Eagles in action in the morning light over the Susquehanna River. The chase was on here with these eagles.
This capture is interesting as well as it shows the aging process. The eagle with the fish is the youngest with no white head or feathers. the eagle to the left in the chase is couple years old as the feathers are starting to change, and the eagle with the white feathers is the eldest of the three there, and is probably over 4 years old.
Super Generation Monarch
The were a small number of unusually large Monarch butterflies at Bombay Hook NWR. They were all determinedly flying Southwards, only stopping briefly for a sip of nectar before resuming their migration

This Monarch is bulking up while sunbathing. Zinnias are their favorite flower in our garden, so there must be something really special in those flowers for this generation of Monarch to make the entire 2000+ mile trio to Mexico. It takes 3 generations of individuals to make the return trip north in the spring and summer. What is the secret of the super generation?
*** Explored #56 on 1/18/2012! ***
For the first time since 1933 Tioga Rd, the northern road through Yosemite National Park, has been open this late into January. Due to the complete lack of snow the road has remained clear and the park authorities have left it open for travel. The temperatures in northern Yosemite are right around freezing during the day and much colder at night and all of the Tuolumne Meadows lakes have frozen over to the point where people are ice-skating all over them!!!
Willie and I decided to take advantage of this once in a generation chance and drove up Sunday morning with the plan of shooting Tenaya Lake at sunset (ok ok, we tried to drive up Saturday morning but an hour into the drive I had an anxiety attack (I was so excited to go take photos) and I had to turn back and go see the doc. Turns out this was OK because we would have hiked 4 miles to Upper Cathedral Lake and then had to hike 4 miles back freezing our butts off; we avoided turning into ice-cubes ourselves by not making it on Saturday).
It was actually kind of funny because as we drove up to Yosemite on Sunday we heard a commercial on the radio advertising Yosemite and telling us to come see the frozen lakes because you may never get this chance again. By the time this happens again I could be 100+ years old!
The weather clouds looked promising and we saw perfectly partially cloudy skies all along the drive to Tenaya. We arrived early enough and spent a while scouting around the lake. At first we walked on the outside edge of the lake but after witnessing multiple people skating all over the lake we decided the frozen lake was thick enough for us to walk on. It turns out it was over a foot thick with ice! Plenty to support us. Willie and I found 2 spots that we liked but the ice-skaters started playing hockey and took over one of our locations. While I staked out the 2nd spot Willie continued hunting for a better crack, which he found and staked out. I stayed at the original spot but quickly realized that Willie's location was far superior. Just before sunset I moved to his spot (which you may have seen Willie post yesterday and my photo is nearly identical to his).
As we waited for sunset to come the unthinkable happened -- the clouds disappeared! Or should I say … they disappeared where we needed them. All around us were clouds but in the one scenic spot on Tenaya Lake, where our composition was setup, there were no clouds! A cloud rolled in just as the sun was setting but it wasn't enough to really light up. The sky got a bit pink and I was able to pull out some color in the sky but our hopes of awesome light were dashed. Oh well … it was at least neat to spend a day in Tenaya experiencing something we'll prob. never get to do again our lifetimes!

With three different generations of AlCo's as motive power as well as two different states (NSW & SA), 8037, 4477 and 872 certainly make a ruckus leading 2SM7 Qube containerised cement from Minto to Vic Dock, under the Hume Highway at Yanderra.
Upon arrival at Junee the locos would be swapped out for a QBX and presumably return to service on the Harefield shuttle.
