I photographed this Yellowlegs in the Black Point Wildlife Drive section of Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge located immediately north of the NASA Space complex on Florida's Atlantic Coast.
Although the Greater Yellowlegs is similar in appearance to the smaller Lesser Yellowlegs, its closest relative is the greenshank, which together with the spotted redshank form a close-knit group. Among them, these three species show all the basic leg and foot colors found in the shanks. They are also the largest shanks apart from the Willet, which is altogether more robustly built. The Greater Yellowlegs and the Greenshank share a coarse, dark, and fairly crisp breast pattern as well as much black on the shoulders and back in breeding plumage. Adults have long yellow legs and a long, thin, dark bill which has a slight upward curve and is longer than the head. The body is greyish brown on top and white underneath; the neck and breast are streaked with dark brown. The rump is white. It ranges in length from 11 to 16 inches (29-40cm) and in weight from 3.9 to 8.8 ounces (111-250g). Their breeding habitat is bogs and marshes in the boreal forest region of Canada and Alaska. They nest on the ground, usually in well-hidden locations near water. The three to four eggs average 2 inches (50mm) in length and 1.3 inches (33mm) in breadth and weigh about 1 ounce (28g). The incubation period is 23 days. The young leave the nest within 24 hours of hatching and then leave the vicinity of the nest within two days. They migrate to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States and south to South America and are very rare vagrants to western Europe. These birds forage in shallow water, sometimes using their bills to stir up the water. They mainly eat insects and small fish, as well as crustaceans and marine worms. It often walks in sand or mud and leaves clear tracks; it can be possible to gather information about this species using its tracks.

This may have been the most full I've ever seen this feature, probably because of the major rains the week before.
It's not a volcano, by the way, just a mud pot - a hot spring with dissolved solids in it.

Cape buffalo, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.
We surprised this guy in the middle of a bath. He was not overly thrilled by our arrival.

Abused & Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
Just like kids laughing and playing in the mud.
They think this is big time funny and want me
to come on down and join them. Furthermore
they expect me to chauffeur them back home
in their sidecar then gently bathe them, kids ;-)-
Another trip to the field was planned for today
but it's pouring rain right now so we're on hold.
Thank you for your comments and donations.

Looking northwest towards Marin County from the Albany Bulb landfill on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. The tree line shadows reflected on the mud flats caught my eye.

[10/365] Quest for mud!
For years I have longed for a picture with MX bikes and flying mud - my journey has come to an end.
My hard disk is full of countless shots of black dots to an empty background or flying mud with no context or meaning.
This picture is the shit!!!
Shot on “Stångebroslaget” which is an Enduro competition with over 2000 participants. I usually participate myself, but this year only my brother drove. My brother had his share of the mud and I had mine, but in a completely different way. Yes, I got dirty! ;)

One of three rhinos in a group that was relaxing in the midday hotness. Photographed in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
A dark colored mud dauber from central Benin (collection from 1997). This wasp lives in miombo forests with 6 months of drought. The pointed and long mandibles are used to collect mud to build nests. The nests are often seen in crevices, old trees and houses. The impressive jaws are also used to hunt spiders that are brought to the nest. Total length of this wasp is 3,5cm; this image is about 10mm tall.
Studio stack based on 176 images taken with an MP-E 65mm at 3,5x (ISO100, f5.6, 1/200sec, wb on flash). Flash needed 3x2 AA batteries (GP, rechargeable NiMH, 2600mAh, 1.2V). One flash at 20 cm, diffused with a bristol paper roll, fitted rather close around the specimen (diameter 35mm). The colored streaks in the background (upper right) come from the wing.
Mud wrestlers during a bout at the Akhara Siyaram club on the banks of the Hoogly River in Kolkata. There are about fifty club members who treat the facility rather like a gym where they meet at around 5am to practice their training routines under the guidance of the guru, Jawala Tewari.
