From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sumac (also spelled sumach) is any one of approximately 250 species of flowering plants in the genus Rhus and related genera, in the family Anacardiaceae. The dried berries of some species are ground to produce a tangy purple spice often used in juice.
Sumacs grow in subtropical and warm temperate regions throughout the world, especially in North America.
Sumacs are shrubs and small trees that can reach a height of 1-10 meters. The leaves are spirally arranged; they are usually pinnately compound, though some species have trifoliate or simple leaves. The flowers are in dense panicles or spikes 5-30 cm long, each flower very small, greenish, creamy white or red, with five petals. The fruits form dense clusters of reddish drupes called sumac bobs.
Sumacs propagate both by seed (spread by birds and other animals through their droppings), and by new sprouts from rhizomes, forming large clonal colonies.
The drupes of the genus Rhus are ground into a deep-red or purple powder used as a spice in Middle Eastern cuisine to add a lemony taste to salads or meat; in the Turkish cuisine e.g. added to salad-servings of kebabs and lahmacun. In North America, the smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), and the staghorn sumac (Rhus typhina), are sometimes used to make a beverage, termed "sumac-ade" or "Indian lemonade" or "rhus juice". This drink is made by soaking the drupes in cool water, rubbing them to extract the essence, straining the liquid through a cotton cloth and sweetening it. Native Americans also used the leaves and berries of the smooth and staghorn sumacs combined with tobacco in traditional smoking mixtures.
Species including the fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica), the littleleaf sumac (R. microphylla), the skunkbush sumac (R. trilobata), the smooth sumac and the staghorn sumac are grown for ornament, either as the wild types or as cultivars.
The leaves of certain sumacs yield tannin (mostly pyrogallol), a substance used in vegetable tanning. Leather tanned with sumac is flexible, light in weight, and light in color, even bordering on being white.
Dried sumac wood is fluorescent under long-wave UV light. Mowing of sumac is not a good control measure as the wood is springy resulting in jagged, sharp pointed stumps when mowed. The plant will quickly recover with new growth after mowing. See Nebraska Extension Service publication G97-1319 for suggestions as to control.
At times Rhus has held over 250 species. Recent molecular phylogeny research suggests breaking Rhus sensu lata into Actinocheita, Baronia, Cotinus, Malosma, Searsia, Toxicodendron, and Rhus sensu stricta. If this is done, about 35 species would remain in Rhus. However, the data is not yet clear enough to settle the proper placement of all species into these genera.
Upper St. Mary's Lake, Glacier National Park (Montana, USA) The greenish cast to the lake is from glacier melt water. This photo was taken with a Nikon D300 and 17-55/2.8
I was walking around this place almost 10 minutes, trying to find the right angle and then spent another few minutes by putting my camera onto the tripod and experimenting with various exposure settings. Yes, taking photos takes time...
I took this one during a bike trip. Later, when I was returning back home, this happened.

The river tern (Sterna aurantia) breeds from March to May in colonies in less accessible areas such as sandbanks in rivers. It nests in a ground scrape, often on bare rock or sand, and lays three greenish-grey to buff eggs, which are blotched and streaked with brown.
The river tern feeds by plunge-diving for fish, crustaceans, tadpoles and aquatic insects in rivers, lakes, and tanks. Its numbers are decreasing due to the pollution of their habitat.

Great Blue Heron.
Between 39 to 52 inches long with a wingspan of around 5 feet 10 inches. A common, large mainly grayish heron with a pale or yellowish colored bill. It is often mistaken for a Sandhill Crane but flies with its neck folded and not extended like the Sandhill Crane. In southern Florida an all-white form, the "Great White Heron", differs from the Great Egret in that they are larger with greenish-yellow legs rather than the black legs of the Great Blue Heron.
Their habitat includes lakes, ponds, rivers and marshes.
They breed locally from coastal Alaska, south-central Canada and Nova Scotia south to Mexico and the West Indies. Winters as far north as southern Alaska, central United States and southern New England. Also in the Galapagos Islands.

I had a great day out with friends yesterday at Flamborough Head where we saw four rare birds; Red-headed Bunting, Dusky Warbler, Pallas's Warbler and this Two-barred Greenish Warbler. Two-barred Greenish is a very rare warbler with only about a dozen British records. I was on Scilly in 1987 when the first for Britain was found but this bird was only my second sighting. It looks superficially like a Yellow-browed warbler: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50398119012/in/photolist having a long yellow eyebrow and two wing bars, but Yellow-browed is smaller and has white tips to the tertials (the long feathers on the lower back covering the wings). Two-barred Greenish Warbler breeds in the far east, east of the Yenesei River and winters in south-east Asia. This one was inhabiting large bramble patches right at the headland.
(Second of two) This Greenish Puffleg, Haplophaedia aureliae, was feeding in the verbenas along one of the paths at Copalinga that I visited on a Field Guides birding tour. It was the only one I saw during three days at the lodge.

The least sandpiper (Calidris minutilla) is the smallest shorebird.
This species has greenish legs and a short, thin, dark bill. Breeding adults are brown with dark brown streaks on top and white underneath. They have a light line above the eye and a dark crown. In winter, Least sandpipers are grey above. The juveniles are brightly patterned above with rufous colouration and white mantle stripes.
This bird can be difficult to distinguish from other similar tiny shorebirds
They migrate in flocks to the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America.

Sigöldugljúfur - a canyon which was filled with water in the past until a manmade dam (seen at the horizon) lowered the water level and created this incredible scene.
Unfortunately the dam is spilling over at the moment and changes the watercolor to a milky color instead of the greenish color which makes the scenery even more surreal in my eyes.
