Thelonis was custom built in 1953. Ed Monk, Sr modified one of his 1920’s plans and it was built by Admiral Marine Works (Earle Wakefield) on Lake Union in Seattle. Although Thelonius looks very 1920’s, several features are more ‘modern’, such as glue-wedge hull (rather than caulked seams), V-drive engine under the cockpit (rather than below the wheelhouse), greater beam and headroom. Thelonius was cruised as far as Juneau, Alaska in 1915.

I was fishing around 3 days in Russia in 150 km from Kirov and caught a pike for 3.5 kg. At the same time i was shooting photo.
Herons like to sit on snags and sand near the rivers. On 10 km of the river i saw about 10 birds.
This is a wild, unbaited Great Gray owl. The picture is the result of sitting in a ditch with this owl for hours, in -20C weather during a heavy snowfall.

The gray-headed chachalaca (Ortalis cinereiceps) is a medium-sized arboreal bird, similar in general appearance to turkeys. Seen in Arenal Volcano National Park, Costa Rica. Conservation status: least concern
Did a birding trip with Rodrigo Reyes of Birdwatching Chile. From pelagic to the mountain environment in the Andes, we got great views of a large number of interesting birds, including many endemics. Great trip, and I strongly recommend Rodrigo.
Gray herons mainly feed on fish, but also on amphibians, small mammals, reptiles, young birds and insects.

There were reports of a Great Gray Owl up north that I had to check out. Last year there was also one just a tad more North which was the first in over twenty years. To have two years in a row of Great Gray Owls in Northern California was just baffling news and a very rare!
I drove four hours North with a friend and we were very welcomed by a very kind and hospitable owner. She allowed a small group of us onto her property and we had the pleasure of photographing this majestic owl.
The first day the owl stayed fairly high and he sat stagnant at a few spots for long periods of time. He studied different holes on the ground and we all tried to guess where he might fly down to. I gambled and cheated left and knelt down based on what my intuition was resonating. I chose correctly as I was knelt down and tracked him on his way towards me. He was probably 10-15 feet away from me as he ripped his prey from the hole and carried it away into a Redwood tree where he took the time to eat it. This prey was large he couldn't just gulp it so he had to downsize it by picking it to pieces before he swallowed it.
We had a very action filled second day and came away with great memories and company.
We were the last group of people she allowed onto her property as she expressed to us that she didn't want to handle anymore large groups. We were grateful for her hospitality and the opportunity she allowed us to have.

Our second park, Pench.
An impeccable place to walk down the memory lanes of your childhood days of the famous story ‘The Jungle Book’.
In the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh, Pench National Park is located in the districts of Seoni and Chhindwara. Named after the pristine River Pence which flows through the park, Pench National Park is one of the most popular wildlife reserves in India. The park also has its mention in the famous story of 1894, ‘The Jungle Book’, penned down by the renowned English Author Rudyard Kipling. The story was worldwide applauded, and hence, the national park became one of the popular national parks in the world in the 1970s and also a prominent tourist attraction in India. Since then, every year oodles of wildlife buffs flock to this place just to spot the famous characters of the book, Akela (The Indian Wolf), Raksha (the female Wolf), Baloo (Sloth Bear), and the vicious Shere Khan (Royal Bengal Tiger).
Sprawls over a massive area of 758 sq km, including the core area, Pench National Park has a rich wildlife which proffers visitors an opportunity to indulge into one of the finest wildlife experiences in India. Since its inception in 1965 as a wildlife sanctuary, the park has serving as the cosy nest of numerous wild creatures including the Royal Bengal tiger, jackal, peafowl, wild dog, wild boar, sloth bear, Indian leopard, fox, striped hyena, monkey, gaur, barking deer, four-horned antelope, Indian wolf, and more such enthralling species. However, later in the year 1975 and 1992, the sanctuary got the recognition of national park and tiger reserve, respectively.
Gray langur (Semnopithecus), also called Hanuman langur is a genus of Old World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent.

The taxonomy has been in flux, but currently eight species are recognized.
The lighthouse on 32nd avenue in Lachine on sunday looked depressing, with the waves extremely high from the wind and the overflowing of rivers and lakes at this time of the year.
