hobo photos on Flickr

Those of you who follow our backyard bird adventures may remember the image and story of a Little Corella (we think) who arrived at our place a few weeks ago. We were worried he was sick and eventually called the RSPCA who we knew we could trust to don't he right thing. We deliberately didn't ask them the outcome but knew if he (probably he!), was ok they would return him to where he was caught.

About a week later, we got a pleasant surprise when he returned but in the afternoon he flew off again and we hoped he might find his flock. Well, this afternoon he was back and joined the Galahs for some seeds. As it gets dark as I write this, he has been sitting on the rail or eating all afternoon. When it came time for us to clean up, he flew into one of our trees but then returned. We have since relented and given him some fresh seeds.

Where this ends we don't know! Stay tuned! Note, I have been studying my books to determine for sure what variety of Corella (Little or Long Beak) he really is but he exhibits a couple of visuals that beg the question of whether he is a cross breed. I would appreciate any thoughts or advice from my flickr friends who are bird experts.

The last we saw him was 27 April and he wasn't looking too well. I think it was good-bye dear little friend.

Another another shot from my day spent out following around the Mass Bay RRE's Lincoln Limited along the old Boston and Maine Pemigewasset Valley Branch. To learn a bit more about this line and the equipment check out the caption with this shot: flic.kr/p/2nnnu8y

Due to some problems that developed with SW1000 1012 it was left at the shop in Lincoln and SW1001 1590 was switched to the south end of the four car train to lead it back south. Here is the little ex RDG switcher running down the south leg of the wye which cuts right through the middle of the 'Hobo Hills' mini golf course. The north leg is home to some stored privately owned historic equipment including the one of a kind ex New Haven 'Roger Williams' trainset and the GP9 1921 dressed in her sharp B&M style 'Minuteman' scheme that was applied by the MBTA when this unit was assigned as a switcher based at BET. Built by EMD in Aug. 1957 as Northern Pacific 336. Renumbered to 1921 after the 1970 Burlington Northern merger she was eventually retired and sold to the MBTA in 1983. Rebuilt and repainted around 1991 it remained on the roster until around 2004 when the T sold it. Fully operational it serves as a backup locomotive and sees very little use anymore these days.

Never post a photograph to Flickr when suffering from sleep deprivation. The initial one that I submitted a day ago is a reflection of that. The photograph was a few tweaks away from what I saw and felt. This is a better version...

"Hobo" emergency. by westernthunderer

22 18

March and April seem to have been an ongoing list of medical issues, appointments, tests and even minor operations for us. It's been overwhelming and tiring but we weren't expecting to have a bird emergency as well.

Yesterday morning we had this lone Little Corella arrive and stay. He/she didn't appear totally well although in the end they ate, drank and rested and stayed all day. We decided we should take it to the vet but near dark when we tried to catch it, he flew off and we kind of hoped that would be the end of it.

But this morning, just after the Galahs arrived so did he! Same thing again, just stayed on the ground all day eating and resting. We didn't want to put him through that again and so rang the RSPCA who eventually sent out an animal ambulance. With a bit of a flurry and scare, they did manage to catch him and take him away to be seen by a vet and either cared for or whatever was in his best interests, however sad that was to be.

Of course we fell quickly for this little fella and named him or her "Hobo" after the 1960's TV series called "The Littlest Hobo"...some oldies may remember it. He, or perhaps she is now in the best hands.

The RSPCA does wonderful stuff and your local branch could always use a donation if you love animals and have some spare cash.

Good luck mate.
