As a short break from my Texas trip, here is a Long-tailed Duck I saw as a rarity the day before I left.
This bird was not a lifer for me, but it was the first time I'd ever photographed this species, so it was a nice milestone all the same.
As always, the corresponding blog post is here: ybrt.wordpress.com/2016/11/22/birding-today-sea-spray-and...

Up to five of these owls roosted in a number of trees along a quiet avenue, this particular owl used the exact same branch in the same tree on every occasion we passed by. Pity the light was not so obliging.

Cerambycidae - Long-horned Beetles begin their life cycle as a larva or grub after emerging from an egg that was deposited into a injured or dying branch. The growing larva tunnels through stems, branches or roots of plants. This species has been recorded as feeding within mesquite (Prosopis spp.) branches. It is possible that other woody plants are also used. This larval stage can last many months to over a year. Emerging adults are avid flower visitors and often fly to lights. The 'long horns' are the antennae. Males may use them in grappling with other males in tussles for mating rights.
This beetle was observed on a Desert Broom Bush at the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, Southern Arizona. Extreme wind, cold front coming through.

Someone placed a vintage gas price sign in their antique shop yard to mock us on the foolish position that we are in today.

This pretty little duck is a rare visitor to our area, so it was getting lots of attention this morning as it swam and dove under the bridge on San Luis Creek. Avila Beach, CA
(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ The Long-nosed Dragon.. The Aussie version of Anolis. ♥
Wide angle portrait of a show-stopping adult male Long-nosed Dragon (Gowidon longirostris) in his best breeding suit. We encountered this lizard on an arid desert sandplain in stinking hot weather just after the first summer storms hit. We were not far from the Barkly Homestead in the spectacular Barkly Tableland region of the Northern Territory.
I absolutely love Dunmore house, which was apparently bought up for development quite some time ago. Here's hoping they never bulldoze it
The long-tailed skipper is one of my favorite butterflies. Each time I see one it takes me back to the first time one I saw the iridescent teal blue on the back caught my attention. Seems as though late summer is when they are noticeable in the garden and this one was not in a hurry to leave this tithonia bloom giving ample time to get a view of the pretty brown and blue colors. It’s not a large butterfly and is often mistaken as a moth because of the large eyes. Two of its host plants are in the garden and they are finally getting around to laying eggs for a new generation.
Happy Monday!
Country road, sunset, tree silhouettes...that's Missouri! The "Edit Queen" took a break on this one.
309) Long Tailed Broadbill
Long-tailed Broadbill, Psarisomus dalhousiae, Takau Ekor Panjang
This is a species of broadbill that is found in the Himalayas, extending east through Northeastern India to Southeast Asia. It is the only bird in the genus Psarisomus. The long-tailed broadbill is a forest bird that lives on insects. It is very sociable and normally travels in large, noisy parties except during the mating season. It builds a pear-shaped nest hanging down from a tree.
Got stuck in the rain and decided as I was hiding for shelter that I would see if I could get some shots of the little furry friends.

Made a last minute visit here last evening on my proposed visit to Bosham,but as i approached the turning for this church,at Idsworth,i thought of the diversion.
St Huberts, Idsworth is in an isolated hamlet, with mediaeval Saxon origins, in the East Hampshire district and South Downs National Park in Hampshire, England.
