Grey Heron - Ardea Cinerea
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
The birds breed colonially in spring in "heronries", usually building their nests high in trees. A clutch of usually three to five bluish-green eggs is laid. Both birds incubate the eggs for a period of about 25 days, and then both feed the chicks, which fledge when seven or eight weeks old. Many juveniles do not survive their first winter, but if they do, they can expect to live for about five years.
In Ancient Egypt, the deity Bennu was depicted as a heron in New Kingdom artwork. In Ancient Rome, the heron was a bird of divination. Roast heron was once a specially-prized dish; when George Neville became Archbishop of York in 1465, four hundred herons were served to the guests.
The grey heron has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped). This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes, and spoonbills, which extend their necks.
Fish, amphibians, small mammals and insects are taken in shallow water with the heron's long bill. It has also been observed catching and killing juvenile birds such as ducklings, and occasionally takes birds up to the size of a water rail. It may stand motionless in the shallows, or on a rock or sandbank beside the water, waiting for prey to come within striking distance. Alternatively, it moves slowly and stealthily through the water with its body less upright than when at rest and its neck curved in an "S". It is able to straighten its neck and strike with its bill very fast.
Small fish are swallowed head first, and larger prey and eels are carried to the shore where they are subdued by being beaten on the ground or stabbed by the bill. They are then swallowed, or have hunks of flesh torn off. For prey such as small mammals and birds or ducklings, the prey is held by the neck and either drowned, suffocated, or killed by having its neck snapped with the heron's beak, before being swallowed whole. The bird regurgitates pellets of indigestible material such as fur, bones and the chitinous remains of insects. The main periods of hunting are around dawn and dusk, but it is also active at other times of day. At night it roosts in trees or on cliffs, where it tends to be gregarious.

When the winter storm blows in all one can do is hunker down. I think this is a common grackle in the winter.
All of us should be hunkering down and sheltering in place like these ladies to better keep us all safe and cared for.

In the earliest days of America's involvement in World War II, there was no greater induction inducement for younger guys planning to enlist,or waiting to be drafted, than to pick-up a national magazine, or see in a newsreel at the local "Bijou", their favorite actor, Movie Star, or anyone of prominence at the time, joining the military ranks. It was a period of unparalleled "Patriotism", and probably rightfully.
Here a cameraman of the time has captured Tyrone Power getting his induction shots as he joins the Marines. For any number of young men this had to be a great incentive,as well as inspiration, to join-up!
How often does a girl get her photo taken with Keanu Reeves, right?
Not sure if this photo did him justice, because he is hot AF!
Came across this hunk wandering around a photography sim and practically forced him to model for me. Dayum...
A fresh female Small Blue (Cupido minimus) hides from the weather on a mostly dull afternoon at Pleasley Pit Country Park in east Derbyshire. There were occasional short gaps in the stubborn cloud but she was reluctant to move far from this protected spot in the Hawthorn.
There were a couple of freshers on site but most of the now low numbers were getting tatty. The impression so far is that this year's first emergence is much smaller than last year and that it will be a discete event from any second brood. Last year there were Small Blues present on all visits in May, June, July and August.
