I don't know what this Red-necked Grebe is transporting, it almost looks like a dirty net of some kind, but it ends up part of the grebe's nest. Makes sense!

 

Thought I'd give the ole 2X tele a try with the 600 and the new R5. I was curious to see how that combination works together and I think it looks great! What do you think?

 

Taken 14 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.

Here's a Red-shouldered Hawk on its way to the nest with some additional nesting material. I believe that the Florida Red-shouldered breed earlier than the species in other parts of the country. Once site had them breeding from January to May when general reference books state the species breed from May to July. In any event, I'm hoping that they are not just faking us out and that we have some new chicks to celebrate. In the course of my reading I learned that the females are larger than the males (probably smarter too) and that the pair are monogamous. Having said that, I've never been able to see the size difference but will pay more attention in the future. Happy 2023 everyone. (Buteo lineatus)

It was great to see the pair of Black-shouldered Kites back in the Sneydes Rd area this morning. I observed them collecting nesting material again.

I will be back later to catch up - got to run for now.

Unterordnung Großlibellen (Anisoptera)

Überfamilie Libelluloidea

Familie Segellibellen (Libellulidae)

Unterfamilie: Sympetrinae

Gattung Crocothemis

Art Feuerlibelle

Wissenschaftlicher Name Crocothemis erythraea (Brullé, 1832)

 

Feuerlibelle

Die Feuerlibelle (Crocothemis erythraea) ist eine ursprünglich vor allem afrikanisch und mediterran verbreitete Libellenart aus der Familie der Segellibellen (Libellulidae), die zu den Großlibellen (Anisoptera) gehören. 2011 wurde sie in Deutschland zur Libelle des Jahres gekürt.

 

Merkmale

Die reifen Männchen der Feuerlibelle sind signalrot, wobei die Intensität der Rotfärbung offenbar mit der Umgebungstemperatur zusammenhängt. So wirken mitteleuropäische Tiere manchmal bräunlich-rot, anders als in den Mittelmeerländern. Die Weibchen sind ockerfarben bis hellbraun; sie weisen außerdem einen auffälligen hellen Dorsalstrich zwischen den Flügelansätzen auf. Feuerlibellen werden in der Regel zwischen 40 und 45 Millimetern lang. Sie erreichen Flügelspannweiten von 65 bis 70 Millimetern. Bei beiden Geschlechtern befindet sich auf der Basis der Hinterflügel ein deutlicher gelb-oranger Fleck, auf der Basis der Vorderflügel ein kleinerer. Das Pterostigma (Flügelmal) ist gelblich bis braun.

 

Man kann Feuerlibellen aufgrund der Färbung mit roten Heidelibellen-Arten (Sympetrum spp.) verwechseln, insbesondere mit der Blutroten Heidelibelle. Allerdings unterscheiden sie sich von diesen durch ihren flacheren Hinterleib und ihren relativ großen Körper. Außerdem sind bei den Männchen selbst die Beine rot. Die noch nicht ausgefärbten Imagines und die Weibchen sehen manchen Blaupfeil-Arten (Orthetrum spp.) ähnlich. Im Unterschied zu diesen weisen die Feuerlibellen-Weibchen aber einen ungefähr senkrecht abstehenden Legebohrer auf. Ebenso sieht auch der Gefleckte Sonnenzeiger (Trithemis kirbyi) der Feuerlibelle ähnlich, bei diesem sind allerdings auch die Flügeladern rot gefärbt.

 

Lebensweise:

Die Art lebt hauptsächlich an stehenden Gewässern, in denen auch die Larvenentwicklung stattfindet. In Mitteleuropa sind dies vor allem Stillgewässer mit einer üppigen Ausstattung an submerser Vegetation, wie z. B. Tausendblatt (Myriophyllum spp.), etwa Altwasser und Sandgrubenweiher. Im wärmeren Mittelmeerraum entwickeln sich die Larven jedoch in fast jedem Stillgewässer bis hin zu kurzlebigen Kleintümpeln.

 

Die Männchen sitzen gerne am Boden oder in der bodennahen Vegetation. Wie alle Libellen lebt auch diese Art räuberisch und jagt insbesondere kleine Insekten.

 

Die Paarung wird in wenigen Sekunden im Flug vollzogen. Die Weibchen tauchen die Eier gleich anschließend im Flug mit der Spitze des Hinterleibes ins Wasser, wobei die Eier gerne an flutenden Wasserpflanzen oder Algenwatten abgestreift werden. Dies geschieht oft fern vom Ufer. Die Männchen bewachen die Weibchen dabei nicht.

 

Verbreitung:

Feuerlibellen sind ursprünglich in den warmen Regionen Südeuropas, Afrikas und Vorderasiens verbreitet. In den 1990er-Jahren hat die Art sich auch nach Süddeutschland ausgebreitet, wo sie mittlerweile nicht selten ist. Die Feuerlibelle erweitert ihr Areal in Mitteleuropa derzeit kontinuierlich weiter und dürfte mittlerweile in fast ganz Deutschland zu finden sein. Die Flugzeit reicht hier von Ende Juni bis Mitte/Ende August, in Südeuropa bei mindestens zwei Generationen vom Mai bis in den Oktober hinein.

 

Die Feuerlibelle galt vor ihrer in jüngster Zeit zunehmenden Bodenständigkeit in Mitteleuropa als ausgesprochene Wanderlibelle, die in warmen Sommern zahlreich aus dem Mittelmeerraum nach Zentraleuropa einflog. Die Ausdehnung ihres Areals nach Norden wird mit dem Klimawandel in Verbindung gebracht.

....................................................................................................

  

In libreria per il piacere della lettura.

Alla cassa l’incontro con il libro di Duccio Demetrio "Foliage - Vagabondare in autunno". Mi ha incuriosita immediatamente.

A casa, sono andata in rete. Ho iniziato la mia caccia, tutte le rotelle in movimento.

Già sentivo il profumo dell’autunno.

 

Nel suo libro, l’autore ricorre ai poeti, ai pittori, ai filosofi, a chi si è incaricato di rivoltare la foglia autunnale come una carta, di far emergere il suo risvolto velato.

 

Ho ascoltato le parole, i pensieri, le citazioni nelle presentazioni del libro di Duccio Demetrio. ….

“l’esplorazione di un territorio spesso sconosciuto, un appuntamento non con la decadenza, come si ritiene da più parti e da secoli, ma con la crescita, con la fioritura, con la ricchezza. Sì, si può anche fiorire.

…. Non è vero, caro Ungaretti, che si debba stare sempre come in guerra, come i soldati, come d’autunno sugli alberi le foglie. La vita è certo anche guerra, ma il tratto malinconico di una stagione che sembra accompagnare gli umani verso il gelo invernale, verso il finale di partita, può collegarci con l’essenza vera dell’esistere, dell'esserci, del vivere. È con l’autunno, con le sue tinte, che possiamo cogliere il segreto della vita, la ricchezza della vita.”

Una delle sue citazioni, le poesie di Angelo Casati

“Non chiamate decadente quest’autunno

Mi abbevero alla festa dei colori

Chiazze gialle, rossi accesi su brividi di cielo azzurro

Tavolozza dell’inedito

Non chiamate decadente quest’autunno

Le foglie e il loro volteggiare lieve, sospeso nell’aria

Spoliazione o preludio di accensione?”

 

Duccio Demetrio mi ha affascinata è stato stimolante.

 

Ho preso alcune delle sue parole: oscillare, frusciare, lentezza, atmosfera, silenzi da ascoltare, sospensioni, feconda pausa, desiderio di vagabondare, il piacere di perdersi di esplorare di sostare e di ammirare la bellezza nelle sue sfumature, penombre, paesaggi, colori smaglianti, dissolvenze, metamorfosi, incantamenti.

 

Sono andata alla ricerca dei miei vagabondaggi in solitaria, sono andata alla ricerca nei miei ricordi per raccontare il mio autunno.

 

Una pausa dal mio quotidiano per ritornare a quando ero bimba, quando si parlava di autunno raccogliendo le foglie secche e cadute da quei pochi alberi nella piazzetta dei giochi, quella del quartiere, nella città ormai cementificata e industrializzata, negli anni ’60.

Intanto le stagioni passavano di anno in anno fino ad arrivare alla mia età adulta, per vivere una parte delle mie due gravidanze e la nascita dei miei figli, proprio in autunno.

 

Son dovuta crescere ancora per godere l’autunno nella natura, prima con i miei figli, e dopo anche da sola per immergermi, camminando in questa stagione, per godere delle mutazioni mie e della natura.

  

This was another sign of spring this week. The squirrel had quite the mouthful of nesting material. Happy Fence Friday!

Thank you all my Friends for your visits, faves, invites and wonderful comments !

It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.

The silo domes are missing. (caps)

 

Farm silos are agricultural structures used to store and preserve bulk materials like grain or fermented feed (silage). They protect crops from the elements, prevent spoilage, and maintain nutritional value. The three main types are tower silos (vertical concrete or steel structures), bunker silos (wide concrete trenches), and bag silos (long plastic tubes).
