Galapagos Finch by Matthew Paulson

Galapagos Finch - Charles Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources which led to his theory of evolution.

NO - Grønfjelldalen, Nordlandsbanen - DE2700 09 / Di6 by Jan-Geert Lukner

96 7

DE 2700 09 is a double imported locomotive. The first import was by NSB, Norways state railway. NSB ordered 1992 from MaK in Kiel 12 machines of the Di6 type for all traffic on non electrified railways. But machines and NSB didn't like each other, and the result was that all Di6 left Norway some years later. All 12? No! One loco was missing, because it burned down before.

The remaining 11 Di6 started an odyssey across parts of Europe for several locopools. After working for the german NOB in passenger services between Hamburg and Westerland the 09 came a second time to Norway for the new operator Cargolink. For Cargolink the Di6 hauled ore trains between Ørtfjell and Mo i Rana on Nordlandsbanen. An empty ore train is observed at Grønfjelldal between the stations of Skonseng and Ørtfjell.

Rufous Hummingbird, immature by Orland Park Birdie Girl

22 8

Observed in our garden on September 30, 2019! This bird has been in our garden for at least 8 days (first observation was on September 23, 2022). Early on, I did not get any shots. I have identified it by comparison to the photo series from 2014 but will still be trying for some better shots now that the rain has stopped.

In October 2014, we had a late arriving, beat up hummingbird stay from October 5-17th. It was identified by a Public Information Specialist at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, as a Rufous. See the photo of the bird from 2014 and the letter below.

Our regular visiting, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that were here all summer have not been observed.

(Taken early in the morning in dim light through my window.)

Listen and observe by Nick Outdoor Photography

These are the main qualities of these animals, always sensitive to perceive every slightest sign of danger. In this case, the female turned around after hearing the call of another roe deer.

Then she quietly resumed grazing the grass at the edge of the wood ...

Ascoltare ed osservare

Sono le doti principali di questi animali, sempre attenti a percepire ogni minimo segno di pericolo. In questo caso la femmina, si è girata dopo aver sentito il richiamo di un altro capriolo.

Poi ha ripreso tranquilla a brucare l'erba ai margini del bosco ...

A reprocessed version of a photo I took of the Griffith Park Observatory on a beautiful day in September 2017.

This is one of those iconic buildings which instantly announces "Los Angeles" because of it's appearance in so many movies and TV shows.

As I work with HDR from year to year, I'm instinctively learning how best to use the program to bring out the best in the photos, but yet not overdo it like I did when I first processed this image last September.

‘The Salmon Leap of Ramelton’ by Gareth Wray

29 1

Carnisk, Ramelton, County Donegal, Ireland

This ancient Irish woodland on the banks of the river Lennon is known as Drummonaghan Woods. This area is one of Donegal’s most stunning locations to visit each Autumn and observe all the various autumnal colours of the different leaves which carpet the forest floor. From warm reds to yellows to golds, basically any colour which represents autumn can all be found here 🍂

The river Lennon meanders its way through these woods then becomes a large half-moon shaped waterfall known as ‘The Salmon Leap’. Overlooking this waterfall is Carnisk Bridge in which you can stand on and gaze at the beautiful reflections of trees on the large pool of water below, before it rushes over the waterfall and under the old stone bridge towards Ramelton village then finally outwards to sea.

Hope you enjoy! Please Favourite & Follow to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you

Yellow-rumped Warbler - Winter 0807 by Ethan A. Winning

27 17

The yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) is a regular North American bird species that can be commonly observed all across the continent. Its extensive distribution range connects both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the U.S. as well as Canada. Called the "Butter-butt" by Tom, the species combines four closely related forms: the eastern myrtle warbler (spp. coronata); its western counterpart, Audubon's warbler (spp. group auduboni); the northwest Mexican black-fronted warbler (spp. nigrifrons); and the Guatemalan Goldman's warbler (spp. goldmani). I can't believe I got the Audubon's Warbler before I got this guy.

It's even more surprising because the Yellow-rumped warbler lives in the Coastal Redwood trees across from my office window. I can see them flitting in an out, but not one has ever been to my back patio for bugs. And why not? The Bewick's wren is here ever day going through the leaf litter. But the YRW, 47 years and not so much as a "Howdy do."

This one was captured at the Carquinez Strait marsh and grassland, in the dead reeds, and fortunately had his butt turned toward me. I have never seen a male in all its glory, and it is one gorgeous bird.

Parque dos moinhos nas cascatas do rio Barosa by Vítor Ribeiro

31 2

O Parque dos Moinhos, situado nas cascatas do rio Barosa, na freguesia de Barro, Galiza, é um espaço natural que abriga um conjunto de quedas de água que descem por várias camadas rochosas, formando pequenas lagoas e canais. Este local é rico em património etnográfico, com vários moinhos de água construídos entre os séculos XVII e XIX, que aproveitavam a força do rio para a moagem de cereais, exemplificando a arquitetura rural galega ligada à pequena propriedade agrícola. Ao longo do percurso pedestre circular, os visitantes podem observar vestígios desses moinhos, desfrutar de trilhos, pontes, zonas de piquenique e piscinas naturais. O parque, ponto de passagem do Caminho Português de Santiago, é um destino popular para caminhadas e contacto com a natureza.

Parque dos Moinhos, located in the Barosa river waterfalls, in the parish of Barro, Galicia, is a natural space that houses a set of waterfalls that descend through several rocky layers, forming small lagoons and channels. This place is rich in ethnographic heritage, with several water mills built between the 17th and 19th centuries, which took advantage of the river's strength to grind cereals, exemplifying the Galician rural architecture linked to small agricultural properties. Along the circular pedestrian path, visitors can observe traces of these mills, enjoy trails, bridges, picnic areas and natural pools. The park, a crossing point on the Portuguese Way of St. James, is a popular destination for hiking and contact with nature.

Red-necked Grebe yawning - Grebe jougris baillant by André Bhérer

Abitibi -Témiscamingue, QC, Canada

( English follow) Quoique relativement commune au centre et à l’ouest du Canada, la nidification du Grèbe Jougris a été observé au Québec uniquement dans les limites de la ville de Rouyn-Noranda. Cet oiseau préfèrerait les étendues d’eau peu profonde souvent eutrophes pour se reproduire et y construire son nid qui, est une masse flottante formé de matériel végétal ancré à la végétation émergente. Sur cette image on peut apercevoir beaucoup de matériel végétal excédentaire sur le dessus du nid, celui-ci est utilisé par le couple pour cacher les œufs lors de leurs absence ou lors de de l’approche d’une menace imminente. Ce comportement n’est toutefois pas pratiqué par tous les couples. / Although relatively common in central and western Canada nesting of Red-necked Grebe in Quebec has only been observed within the city limits of Rouyn-Noranda. This bird prefer shallow often eutrophic water bodies to breed and build its nest which is a floating mass of plant material anchored to emergent vegetation. In this image we can see a lot of extra plant material on the top of the nest which is used by the couple to hide the eggs during their absence or for an approaching imminent threat. However, this behavior is not practiced by all couples.

“Contrary to any art photographer and obedience of his model, the viewer feels an irrepressible attraction, forcing him to search in such a picture the smallest sparkle of the case, here and now, which really burned the character of the image, to find the inconspicuous place where the future continues to lurk now, and yet so eloquently, that we, looking back, can detect it. “
