This is a Townsend's solitaire. It was seen on Sunday at Koll Center wetlands, and soon had attracted bird watchers and photographers to try to catch a view of it. I wasn't fortunate enough on Sunday, but did get to see it today - a lifer for me! Thanks to Keith Todd for calling my attention to the location!

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, at 8000 ft., provides one with an expansive view of the canyon, sky and the weather that passes through. Watching these storms was musical. As they say, "all politics is local", so too with rain!
I am blessed with very good train connections into London from my local station - less than 20 minutes to London Bridge and a few minutes more for Victoria. These stairs are a recent addition to my local station. Could I have been the first photographer to get a shot of them I wonder?
Eight Thousand Horses spot seventy tons of bricks at W.R. Taylor Company in the middle of Tarragona Street in Pensacola, Florida. With apparently no more four-axles in the yard, a pair of six-axle Gevos did the honors of swapping an empty for a loaded boxcar at W.R. Taylor this night. While certainly not the ideal set of power for my liking, having caught a rare daylight move a few days prior with a proper leader on this already very difficult to catch and unique operation, I was happy to document the odd move. The empty boxcar was set out further back so the conductor could connect a road barrier to it across the street to avoid any northbound traffic while switching. Pensacola, FL
At a local park not more than a few miles from my house. At low tide there is solid stretch of land that connects to the small island just right of center. This area is a designated bird sanctuary home to gulls, Canadian geese, egrets, swans, hawks, flacons and various species of mallards. This area is not recommended during hot summer days as mosquitos, deer flies and ticks will bite you to pieces.

Friday's R-MRL841 tends to return east with a healthy cut of power, as they often bring back the Logan local power for relay to Livingston or points east. This week's train was no exception, and with an extra GP9 in the mix, they ended up having five engines. After building their train at Logan, they wasted no time heading east - we beat them from the west end of Manhattan siding here to the west end of Bozeman siding with seconds to spare.
The new era has begun on the Canadian National's Portland line in Quebec. A swing to full GMD's has taken about a year since my first visit to the area as seen at the "farm curve" between Waterville and Compton Station. The local out of Richmond has a healthy cut of lumber for the distributor in Coaticook on this day.
One time you find me in my Local pub now im just as happy at my Local beach .
Think a spent about hour just watching the waves crash about .
I took Marnie down to the local fish pond yesterday afternoon near sunset. It was a beautiful day all day. So good to be out again ! There was still ice over parts of the pond, but it was very thin, it was cracking under the ducks' feet ! We didn't try it out, anyway !
I hope you like this, my Flickr friends. Thank you so much for every view, fave and comment. 😃

Pedraza es una localidad y municipio de la provincia de Segovia (España), situado a 37 km al nordeste de Segovia capital y con una población residente de 388 personas (INE 2017).
Se trata de una villa medieval amurallada, cuya cuidada rehabilitación motivó su declaración como Conjunto Histórico en 1951. ​
El municipio se compone de Pedraza y de las localidades de Rades de Abajo y La Velilla.
Su amplio patrimonio histórico y cultural ha fomentado el turismo tanto de interior como internacional hasta la ciudad y por ello, cada año miles de turistas visitan los principales monumentos que hay en Pedraza.
Podemos decir que el edificio principal que ver en Pedraza es la Puerta de la Villa, el único acceso a la ciudad.
Sus orÃgenes se remontan al siglo XI y fue reconstruida en el siglo XVI. Como curiosidad debes saber que sus portones son de madera de álamo negro y durante varios siglos eran cerrados durante la noche impidiendo la entrada o salida de cualquier persona salvo emergencia.
Otra de las cosas que ver en Pedraza es su castillo, una fortaleza construida en el siglo XIII que se reedificó en el siglo XV.
El castillo cuenta con una torre del homenaje, un foso y además está rodeado por un precipicio.
Es uno de los lugares que ver en Pedraza más interesantes y con más historia. También incluyen entre los sitios que ver en Pedraza la cárcel, que fue restaurada en el siglo XX y se conserva como museo, mostrando lo que era una cárcel medieval.
Y si viajas a la ciudad durante el mes de julio, una de las cosas que hacer en Pedraza es participar en la Noche de las Velas. En esta fiesta se adorna la localidad con velas y se apagan las luces públicas.
