BNSF's eastbound Provo-Denver manifest passes by the intermediate signal at MP 14.6, just west of Leyden. The train will have a clear shot to run the rest of the way in to Denver after meeting the Rocky Mountaineer at Plain.

Ardea intermedia
A bird that I often see and rarely photograph, and thus I was happy to photograph it 'on the wing'.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Intermediate egret
Scientific Name: Ardea intermedia
Description: The plumage of the Intermediate Egret is wholly white. During the breeding season, adults have long filamentous plumes emerging from the scapulars, and dense plumes from the breast. The bare parts vary with the stage of the breeding cycle: during courtship the bill is deep pink to bright red with a yellow tip and green base, the lores are bright green, the eyes red and the legs ruby red; when laying, the bill is dull red, the lores are dull, pale green, and the eye is yellow. By the time of hatching, the bill is dull orange-yellow, the lores are yellow or green-yellow, the eye is yellow and the upper portion of the leg yellow with the lower portion grey-black. During non-breeding season, they lose their plumes, the bill turns orange-yellow, the lores are green-yellow or yellow, the eyes are horn-coloured and the upper portions of the legs vary, with the lower portion black. Juveniles appear like non-breeding adults.
Similar Species: The Intermediate Egret is similar to Australia’s other all-white egrets. The Little Egret is distinguished by its long, black bill. The Great Egret is distinguished by its proportionally longer neck and flat-headed appearance and has a distinct gape that extends well behind the eye. Cattle Egrets are much shorter and dumpier with a stouter bill.
Location: Within Australia, the Intermediate Egret can be found at wetlands throughout the northern third of the continent as well as the eastern third. They are generally absent from Tasmania.
Habitat: Mostly a denizen of the shallows in terrestrial wetlands, the Intermediate Egret prefers freshwater swamps, billabongs, floodplains and wet grasslands with dense aquatic vegetation, and is only occasionally seen in estuarine or intertidal habitats.
Feeding: Aquatic animals, principally fish and frogs, are the main food of the Intermediate Egret. They are usually hunted by standing and waiting, then stabbing at the prey with its dagger-like beak.
Breeding: Intermediate Egrets build a shallow platform of interwoven sticks, placed on a horizontal branch in a tree that is usually standing in water. They generally lay three or four pale-green eggs which are incubated by both sexes. The nestlings are fed by both parents, who regurgitate food, either into the nest or directly into the beak of the young bird.

CN 327 with CSXT 5414 & CSXT 451 for power is splitting a pair of intermediate signals at MP 14.7 of CN's Kingson Sub which just entered service during the last couple of weeks.
I've always been fond of these Southern Railway-style intermediates with the offset lower head, but the few that remain seem to be in tough places to shoot. Either they're almost inaccessible, or like this pair there's just a very narrow window of time for when the sun angle works.
Of course, this pair is on borrowed time anyway with NS filing to tear out the CTC between Birmingham and Sheffield.

In spring 2007, the theater - originally designed by Frits Puisz and opened in 1961 - reopened after three years of renovation. The Heerlen Theater now has a large hall (RABOzaal), a small hall (INGzaal) and an intermediate hall.
Soon to be taken down, the intermediate block signals days are numbered. The new "Vader signals can be seen in the distance and will soon be in operation.
Here BNSF 6198 leads this SLC coal load south past the intermediate siginal 61.9 on the BNSF Hannibal Sub. just north of Foley, Mo.
Most of the new signals south of this location have already been activated. The line north has been re-blocked in accordance with the new siding "Burns" in Clarksville, Mo.
Egretta intermedia. Werribee wetlands. Walking back to the car with Nicole from the MCC nature outings, we crossed to the far side of the track and it let us past. Looked a bit dejected, maybe felt the same way about the awful light and cold wind.

Alamos is a Canadian-based intermediate gold producer with diversified production from three operating mines in North America and a strong portfolio of growth projects. This includes the Young-Davidson and Island Gold mines in northern Ontario, Canada and the Mulatos mine in Sonora State, Mexico.
The species is intermediate in size between the great egret and the cattle egret; I sometimes find it difficult to distinguish from the latter. 160209 388

This bird has made an intermediate rest stop in one of the "found wood art" photo props surrounding our fountain/pond. Water is a better "bird magnet " up here than food... it's generally much more scarce in this semi-arid mountain region. The bird is checking out the activity below before dropping down to drink or bathe. This male is our most colorful western mountain songbird.

Amtrak 207 split the famous intermediate, Santa Fe semaphores at milepost 722, just outside the tiny town of Wagon Mound, NM.
I really struggled with its plumage in the early morning light. I feel it’s 'blown out' too much?
Intermediate Egrets (Ardea intermedia) Intermediate Egrets occur throughout most of the world. They are common throughout Australia, with the exception of the most arid areas.
Intermediate egret at the Jerrabomberra wetlands today. There were three white-faced herons trying to share the same feeding ground, but the egret would have none of it, and spent as much time chasing the herons as it did feeding.
Since the wetlands have been "improved", i.e. made more people friendly, one has to be early and quick to get a few shots in before the binoculared mob arrive with their lists and loud voices.
Australian Capital Territory, January, 2017.
Territorial fight is an integral part of wildlife. They defend their own space, food and female. Sounds human?
