Probably one of the more interesting moves I've seen, an IHB mother and slug set lead a UP Tier 4 ACe through La Grange, Illinois
Odd couple. This is the second day I've seen this male wood duck with the female mallard. Whenever the male mallard approaches, the wood duck chases him away and is very protective. I think the female is flattered with all the attention
Every sock can tell a story
They have ambitions of their own
When I’m out with two old favourites
Sometimes one does not come home.

I think we all like the odd vehicle in any fleet and this particular vehicle is no exception! ARRIVA Kent & Surrey 3707 LK55 ACY is seen on Cranleigh Road as it approaches Wonersh whilst working route 53. Saturday 16th May 2015.
This vehicle was originally part of the 'Ride Pegasus' school bus scheme which was operated by First Berkshire on behalf of Surrey CC. The vehicles themselves were owned by Surrey CC and leased to the operator which in this case was First. However due to unsustainable costs the operation ceased in July 2010 and the buses loaned to other operators. LK55 ACY was the only one of the batch leased to ARRIVA Guildford & West Surrey and has gained a fleet number and a new coat of 'corporate' paint!

Because every now and then we feel like "the odd one".
Porque de vez en cuando nos sentimos como el "raro" del grupo.
112 pictures in 2012: odd one out
The delightful daily--Toyota N20 truck (model year range 1972-1978)--and the DIY RV conversion based on a late-1970s International Harvester Loadstar.
ERF EC14 Olympic cab still in daily use with a firm in Keighley. An odd arrangment wheel base wise on an eight wheeler but now getting a bit more comman.
This building seems to consist solely of a front wall, complete with windows and front door; but nothing else. Seen in Marsaxlokk, Malta.
He is a Mountain Raven and stands about to my knees. She is a Chihuahuan [or N. American White Neck] Raven.I hand raised her from the time she was not much more than an egglet. These 2 have been a couple for 7 years now.
Above is a photo of the male Bluebird nesting in my yard feeding the female I'm calling "Blondie." Apparently, this male has taken two females as mates, Blondie above and Brownie below (named for their head color - not terribly accurate, but easy to tell apart). I have seen the male courting and feeding both and the three are generally together. Both females have been seen going into the nest, which now has 5 eggs. The eggs came on 4 consecutive days, then a two day break, then a 5th egg.
Blondie has taken to sitting on the eggs and isn't good about letting Brownie in. I suspect that if Brownie is hoping to lay more eggs, she is going to have problems. I'll check nearby empty nest boxes for an egg drop. The two females just BARELY tolerate each other and have been seen rolling around in the dirt pounding on each other. Both females have also gone in and out of a nearby empty box.
The Great Swamp had a similar nesting trio a few years ago and was witnessed on their nest cam, so it's not unheard of. Females frequently mate with other males, producing eggs from different mates. It will be interesting to see what happens when the eggs hatch in terms of feeding and care of the babies.

Yep yet another changing room photo. This time modelling a little black dress that surprisingly I liked. On the hanger it looked dull but on its ok but my boots look odd with it
Seen along NE Broadway in Portland, Oregon.

As usual, the display of poppies at the Devonport War Memorial has been spectacular this year. This little odd bod caught my eye amongst the more normal flowers though. A victim of the wind, I'd say...
Straight from the camera, except for a bit of straightening and cropping.
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary. Late 1983.
33 025 'Sultan' stands at Kensington Olympia, facing towards Clapham Junction at the head of an odd train. See below for an explanation of what the train was.
This Western Kingbird and its partner have created a nesting site on a pole between some electrical boxes. Since the area is all fenced in they should be safe from two legged predators unless someone comes to service the boxes.
So far they are very diligent against winged predators.
With about 2 seconds before the clouds screwing me over entirely, CP 6256 leads a westbound CWR out of Lambton Long-Hood-Forward on a nice September afternoon. It was a very odd but cool sight for sure, I was told 6024 was the original leader (with 6256 trailing behind in the rear facing position) but ran into problems on the Mactier Sub somewhere which necessitated 6256 to lead. I assume there was not an available wye to put the units in the right position so they just said screw it.
Southern Emerald Moth caterpillar- Hodges#7059 (Synchlora frondaria) and a Nectar feeding Crane Fly (Toxorhina magna) both feeding on Burrmarigold (a.k.a. Smooth Beggarticks; Bidens laevis) - Lake Charlie, Tosohatchee Wildlife Management Area, 3365 Taylor Creek Rd, Christmas, Florida
The Southern Emerald Moth larva is one of the few caterpillars that covers itself with feeding debris by gluing bits of chewed off petals to it's back to disguise itself from predators. Although that kinda sounds like the strategy used by bagworm moth caterpillars, the bagworms do not "glue' the debris directly to their bodies, but to a silk bag that they weave around their body.
The Elephantomyia westwoodi Crane Fly is odd in a very different way, in that it is one of the few crane flies to have a proboscis which it uses to suck nectar from flowers.
My thanks to Pjotr Oosterbroek of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center's Department of Terrestrial Zoology (Netherlands) for his assistance with the identification of the Crane Fly.

With a bit of imagination you could think Valencia must be a place of magic and witchcraft. Well, it is.
Driving thru Novato today, I came upon this fantastic tree scene. Looks like kudzu (or ivy run amok) has formed a Xmas tree around this way tall palm. Obviously it's been there for quite some time, but I used to be distracted by the, now gone, low life motel that was on the same property, so never noticed the tree.
