To the best of my knowledge - and the advice of experts - this is one of 5 photographs of Cory's Shearwater taken from the good ship Flipper bobbing about off Puerto Tazacorte on La Palma in the Canary Islands. Distinguishing Cory's from Scopoli's Shearwater (Calonectris diomedea) is extremely difficult in the field. With the correct light conditions, the most useful pointer for Scopoli's is the amount of white on the inner tip of the wings (less extensive on Cory's).
Leading birder and recorder on La Palma, Robert Burton, says: "On that basis, your first two photographs seem to correspond to Cory's, judging from the illustation in the field guide. Other differences (body size, bill thickness) are hard to assess in the field, apparently... unless you were able to compare various individuals. But both species do mix when feeding!"
My thanks to Robert (lapalmabirds.blogspot.co.uk) for helping me locate some of the difficult-to-find species of birds and butterflies of La Palma.
Thanks for your visit… Any comment you make on my photographs is greatly appreciated and encouraging! But please do not use this image without permission.

For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
When I search google, it often gives the AI response first. Often it is only information from the first website listed. Repackaging information from a website is not intelligent, it is just sealing others work. Knowledge, wisdom and creativity are endeavors of man. Not a fast hard drive and processor.

These creatures always look wise to me. Probably because i know that to get to this size/age, they have learned...and they have gained wisdom by living with all they have learned.
A couple interesting things i have learned after a class on sea turtles that i took, It is thought that only one in 1000 hatchlings make it to adulthood, due to natural predators, and that the sex of the babies is determined by where they are located in the nest! The temperature of the nest (sand) will be warmer on the outer edges of the nest and the temperature in the center of the nest is cooler, thus determining male or female!
If you have any interest in learning more about them, this site is rather good: www.seeturtles.org/baby-turtles
i am going to relax a bit...i have a little touch of headache and have been battling it all day, likely thanks to the Typhoid Vaccine that i had the first dose of last night. I feel a bit lethargic today, and i may have had a slight fever earlier...just feel like a rest is in order after doing laundry and washing all the floors.
Have a spectacular weekend...stay safe and cool!

This Is What We Do ....We Take The Children Along .....And Pass On Knowledge And Wisdom Gained Over These Years... This Is The Way We Put Our Children In Fast Track.....
Youngsters Are Quick Learners And Much More Proficient In Handling Modern Gadgets And Net knowers....Nevertheless,,,A Bottle Of Water Will Be of Help..since lots of Questions and Elucidation is the norm .That Is Another Matter.
