The wood duck (German: Brautente) is not a native European bird, its natural range is North America. A few specimens have found their way into German wildlife, howsoever.
Actually, as with many animals, this colorful specimen is not the bride ("Braut") but the groom ("Bräutigam") 😄
Finn Slough Heritage Area.
Immigrants from Finland in the 1920s created this unplanned and unregulated part of Richmond, British Columbia. There's a road to the area, but most of the dwellings are only accessible by boardwalks or boat. This colourful little channel, a favourite for photographers, is between Whitworth Island and Lulu Island on the Fraser River. Finn Slough is one of the last tidal communities and fishing village on the west coast and has remained unchanged over the years
This handsome young man walked up as I was on the jungle gym with my son. He stared intently into the lens of my medium format Bronica ETRSi and waited for me to take his photo. After I did, he walked away, happy. Not a word was exchanged!
His father later told me that he was an immigrant from, if I recall correctly, Senegal, and that he had just arrived the day before and does not speak any English.

" Och! but Im weary of mist and dark,
And roads where theres never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush,
And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house-a house of my own,
Out of the wind and the rains way "
{ Padraic Colum 1881-1972 }
This poem is called " The Old Woman of the Road " and I learned it as a child in school.
After the famine was over in 1850, there were upwards of one million people homeless who just drifted from place to place depending on the goodness of strangers to help them. This poem is based on one such woman who longs for a little house of her own, "Out of the wind and the rains way"
I think its very sad and rather beautiful. We should think on these things in todays modern society and the many homeless immigrants who come to our countries seeking help and a better life.
P@t.
We come from the land of the ice and snow. From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow. The hammer of the gods. We'll drive our ships to new lands to fight the horde and sing and cry: Valhalla, I am coming!🎶.

“About” the tenth power of two? Just passing along the text, not judging. Canada seems to have achieved peace and respect among its immigrant populations, now working hard on extending that to indigenous people.
Plants don’t care. This one seems happy to be here.

While out and about this spring, I came across this big Ring-Necked Pheasant, standing tall and proud atop a log pile. He posed for me a few times, then hopped off and disappeared into the tall grass.

I am fortunate enough to live near a herd (or "fold" as they say back in Scotland) of Highland cattle, a "Scottish breed of rustic cattle."
"It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region."

Thank you for visiting.
Bauhinia × blakeana, Hong Kong orchid tree. Originated in Hong Kong in 1880, now widely cultivated. From Queen’s Market in Waikoloa on the Big Island of Hawaii, where almost nothing is natural except bare volcanic rock.
Like many of the diverse immigrants who lend a collectively unique quality to Hawaii, this Zulu Giant (Stapelia gigantea)—a succulent plant native to southeastern Africa—is thriving alongside Hunakai Street in Honolulu's Kahala neighborhood. It is sometimes called a carrion plant because its large flower emits a faint carrion odor, which attracts the insects that pollinate it. January 21, 2018
Tradescantia pallida is native to the lowland forests of southeastern Mexico, but has been spread far and wide by horticulturists. It has a close relative native to Colorado, Tradescantia occidentalis, which goes by the common names spiderwort, cow slobber and snotweed, These common names follow the excess production of saliva by cows and humans who eat the leaves, which are mucilaginous.
Each of the water droplets acts as a magnifying glass, showing the fine texture of the petals (most clearly seen in the largest size). Photographed in one of CU's greenhouses, managed by my favorite horticulturist/botanist, Tom Lemieux.
Halsbandsittich (Psittacula krameri manillensis) in Cologne
As a new citizen (neozoon) who was able to build up holdings of captive refugees, he is increasingly to be found in urban areas of the northern Mediterranean countries as a cultural successor. Alexander the Great brought him from Asia to Greece more than 2300 years ago, hence the name "Alexander Parakeet"

The Eurasian Collared Dove, Streptopelia decaocto, also called the Eurasian Collared-Dove or simply the Collared Dove, is one of the great colonisers of the avian world. Its original range was warmer temperate regions from southeastern Europe to Japan. However, in the twentieth century it expanded across the rest of Europe, reaching as far west as Great Britain by 1953, and Ireland soon after. It also now breeds north of the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. It is not migratory.
It was introduced into the Bahamas in the 1970s and spread to Florida by 1982. Its stronghold in North America is still the Gulf Coast, but it is now found as far south as Veracruz, as far west as California, and as far north as British Columbia and the Great Lakes. Its impact on native species is as yet unknown; it appears to occupy an ecological niche between that of the Mourning Dove and Rock Pigeon; some have suggested that its spread represents exploitation of a niche made available by the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon.
This is a gregarious species, and sizeable winter flocks will form where there are food supplies such as grain. The song is a coocoo, coo repeated many times. It is phonetically similar to the Greek decaocto ('eighteen'), to which the bird owes its name. Occasionally it also makes a harsh loud mechanical-sounding call lasting about 2 seconds, particularly when landing in the summer.

Early on Sunday morning hundreds of members of the Greek police force raided an unofficial refugee camp in the Greek port of Patras as part of a nationwide 'clean sweep" operation. The camp which has been in existence for nearly a decade was home to hundreds of immigrants, mainly from Afghanistan hoping to sneak aboard trucks headed for Italy.

Using bulldozers the local authorities razed to the ground the shacks and huts that until recently housed an estimated 150 people. Several fires were reported as a result of the raid and according to official police sources 44 minors were detained along with 30 adults who will be held in a reception centre until they are deported. The raid has been criticised as "inhuman" and called a "pogrom" by the left wing SYRIZA party and the Greek Communist party.
The ruling New Democracy party has also announced that it will set up internment camps throughout the country to house those who do not have a legal right to stay in the country. It should be noted that at present Greece grants asylum to 0.1% of those who apply for it and has been repeatedly criticised by Amnesty International, other European governments and the UNHCR for its treatment of refugees and immigrants.
On the other hand the latest poll carried out by Public Issue found that 93% of those questioned thought that Greece could not take in any more immigrants and that 62% said that immigration is probably harming Greece.
Stung by his party's poor showing in the recent European elections prime minister Kostas Karamanlis has decided to get tough on the issue of immigration in order to avoid losing more support to the far right LAOS party. With the possibility of general elections in either September or March 2010 at the latest Karamanlis is hoping that a tough stance on crime and immigrants will help bring back voters who have deserted the party in droves after two years of corruption and influence peddling scandals involving several government ministers

my haircut lady lives with her family on a large dairy farm owned by her daddy. these are her neighbors.
(they grow acres of sunflowers some years.)
they are not DACA cows, but I'll bet some of their relatives were.
I hope mr trump doesn't plan on sending them back.

HUGE IMPACT - 43% of the Fortune 500 companies in 2017 (i.e., the 500 largest US companies as measured by annual revenues last year) were founded or co-founded by either an immigrant to the United States or by the child of an immigrant (source: Center for American Entrepreneurship).
none of these cows are entrepreneurs, either.

As descendants of the French Huguenots prospered in South Carolina, protestant churches increasingly popped up to serve their families. The old brick church at Wambaw, part of a local parish of the Church of England, was built on the King's Highway in 1768. It was surrounded by rice plantations that the Huguenot immigrants and their descendants created.
Besides the church’s rich history, the symmetry of this scene is what struck me.
In 2004, I took a series of photos (pre-digital camera) near the border of Mexico and California. We followed around a guy who left water for those trying to cross the border since death rates (due to lack of water) were high here.
guess i was inspired to dig this photo up by looking at this photo:

The adults grow up to 5–6 millimetres (0.20–0.24 in) long. The colour of this insect is brilliant metallic green, as the black body is coated in emerald round scales. If the scales wear off the body beneath appears dark. Antennae are pale with a dark club. These beetles show a short groove between the eyes and evident striae on the elytra.

Adult specimens can mostly be encountered from April through August.These beetles lay their eggs in the bark or leaves of the host-plants. The soil-inhabiting larvae grow up to 7 millimetres (0.28 in) long feeding on juicy plant roots. In Autumn their development is complete. They overwinter and pupate in Spring.
