observed this owl and it's mother for weeks before the owlet flew from the nest and landed close enough for me to get a decent shot with a 400mm lens
Observed near the Tule Lake National wildlife refuge, this owlet was one of three Great horned owlets from a nearby nest. Each of the Owlets were capable of flying.

That was the main focus of recent Medical Education and Demonstration of Individual Competence training for Wiesbaden area combat medics. The training took participants through instructional, trauma simulation and combat response training.

I was lucky enough to observe an amazing sight this week. Monday through Friday there was an egret/heron feeding frenzy on the two golf course water features near our house. There were seven egrets there on Monday and by mid week the number had grown to 18. About 2/3 of the birds were snowy egrets. The rest were great white egrets. There were also a couple of green herons, a few cormorants and one mystery bird. I shot pictures Monday through Friday mornings but by Saturday the birds were gone. Most of these pictures were taken about 7:45 in the morning on very foggy days, which means the light was weak and flat so I was pushing the limits of my equipment and ability. But watching these big (mostly), white (mostly) fish was amazing.

We observed many Swallows at Merced NWR. There were numerous battles for dominance and I was able to capture part of this one. The action was extremely fast. I believe these are Tree Swallows.
The WoW for this week was "Doppelgänger" which means an apparition or double of a living person. Given this word, we tried to re-create a photograph taken by famous photographers that we had studied about. This photo was found on the Wilkosz & Way Blog, to the right of my photographer "Henri Cartier-Bresson" Unfortunately, I didn't realize that this photo was conjoined to the one by my photographer while having been taken by another photographer by the name of "Susan Derges". To re-create this picture, I had my mom who has a similar face to the woman in the picture to the left lie down under a table. Then I took a piece of plastic out from a binder to lay the water droplets on, since the glass which she lay under didn't work as well as I had hoped, the drops weren't as visible. Next, I made sure that my shadow fell over her nose, which you can see by how the area right under her cheek bones is a bit lighter than her mouth and tip-mid nose. I used a fast shutter speed, since it was hard to take the picture from the angle that I took it from, eventually after all of the static holding of the camera my hands started to shake. I only used natural light which came in from the window behind me to cast my shadow on top of her and I focused the camera on the droplets of water to make sure that they had clear definition. Next came the task of cropping out the photo to the left from the photo it was conjoined with, then joining that one with the one that I took in photoshop. I also changed the one that I took to black and white and increased the brightness a bit, since the photo to the left is extremely bright.
Quiet morning in the basement drawing studios of Bru- woke up early so I could get a good spot and not be crowded and I'm glad. The studio was so nice and quiet so I could just draw and not have to worry about being anti/social (I'm really focused when I draw)
CAMP RED CLOUD, South Korea – Soldiers and families observed Warrior Friendship Week throughout Area I March 25 to 28 with a broad variety of sporting and other morale-building events geared to strengthening the bonds between 2nd Infantry Division Soldiers, KATUSA Soldiers – those South Korean Soldiers assigned to duty with the U.S. Army – as well as Area I family members.
The events saw spirited competition in such familiar sports as soccer, basketball, tug of war, relay racing, and several traditional Korean sports.
There were also the rigors of the Warrior Challenge air assault obstacle course.
Besides all that there was a 5K run.
And Korea’s long and rich cultural heritage was well represented too.
Audiences saw performances by a Korean masked dance troupe, and demonstrations by South Korean army martial arts teams.
Other South Korean Soldiers dressed as 16th century Korean warriors simulated a battle with weapons of the period.
And there were other traditional Korean games demonstrated, among them tuho, in which participants try to toss arrow-like sticks into the mouth of a jar.
Area I Family Readiness Groups set up food and craft tables and made available barbecue, cookies and other snacks, and refreshments.
The events ended with a closing ceremony at the Carey Fitness Center on Camp Casey.

We observed the local Bald Eagle nest for about an hour this morning. When we arrived a bit before 8:30 AM, we found the female roosting in the Australian Pine just east of the nest. After about 5 minutes she flew over to the cow pasture to the NW and came back with some grass in her talons, which she deposited in the nest. Remaining on the nest for only a couple of minutes, she then flew over to roost on one of the dead Melaleucas to the west of the nest. When we departed a little after 9:30 AM she was still roosting. The male was nowhere in sight and there were no vocalizations. Although we kept constant watch on the nest, we never saw an eaglet. The weather was overcast and slightly breezy, with the temperature around 80 degrees (F). This is the longest period of time I have seen the nest left unguarded when the eaglets were so young. The first-hatched is about 19 days old today. Visit blog.rosyfinch.com
Wow, the atmosphere looks pretty unstable! Cumulus clouds were towering here, with very dark clouds lingering right above, too! Pic taken from around San Jose, CA.
Certainly, February 2015 was ending with a bang, weather-wise for the Bay Area! A low pressure system that had originated from the Canadian coast had ushered strong instability in the atmosphere. T-storms had developed around the region. During the morning hours, storm clouds were already towering due to the unstable airmass. By early afternoon, things really started ramping up. Thanks to the afternoon heating, t-storms erupted. Even one had formed just south of my area! I watched and observed the t-storm intensify. Thunder and lightning proceeded with constant rumbles of thunder. My adrenaline rush had skyrocketed. I had parked around Fowler Creek Park to observe the storm. The lightning, thunder, rain and hail continued before diminishing after 3 p.m. My storm-loving self has been satisfied!

Weather scenario and summary:
A cold low pressure system had ushered atmospheric instability on February 28, 2015, causing strong convective scattered t-storm development all over the Bay Area. The region had observed hail, heavy rain, thunder and lightning...the whole shebang! A t-storm had even dumped LOTS of hail in an isolated area around South San Jose, making the affected area look like it was dusted with snow! The low that had brought the wild weather to the Bay Area had weakened as it slowly headed south... It was certainly a crazy day weather-wise for the Bay Area on the last day of February!
Broad-bodied Chaser - male: 01/06/14
Had chance between correcting swale levels to study our new visitors, how quick they came. What a piece of predatory machinery.
Our ponds are appox a year old and we're still not able to get retrospective planning for them.

I saw two males on the one pond, having the odd ariel spat, no contact though, then occasionally a female came in.

Of which I only caught in a mid air coupling with the one male.

The female shortly after commenced to repeatedly dip the tip of her abdomen into the pond's fringe; I would speculate she was attaching her fertilised eggs.

In one year the pond holds many invertebrates, food for the dragonfly larvae. How many next year.? Bet there's a territorial numbers game? As apparently there were two males on our lower pond as well. Only one remained the whole time on the middle pond where I was photographing, with the occasional visit from, another male? Does one pond have one dominant male, and the female flits between ponds, mating with the dominant male of the pond?
Great being able photograph the ecology being reintroduced :) see what it gets up to!

1. i incorporated the main concept of observation, by doing a documentary series of my teacher, and observing her.
2. I do think I chose a effective way to present it by choosing to photograph how she teaches.
3. By observing Mrs. Brooks i learned how she teaches.
