Hermit Thrush singing away constantly on a branch in the woods near the old airfield bike trail in Algonquin Park. Was lucky to catch a semi sharp shot of the Hermit mid-discord like song! If you've ever heard one of these signing in the forest it isn't something you'll likely to forget as it is almost opposite to the song of other warblers / songbirds! Thank you again for everyone who views and comments!

Smile On Saturday - Odd One Out
Two male American Wigeons swimming one direction and a male Hooded Merganser swimming the other direction. :-)
On Friday March 25th, it was decided to get some stored Metra equipment out of the city to better accommodate our track department as they embark on a tie project on the Elgin Sub this spring. One underutilized location is our Antioch Coach Yard, which with post-COVID schedules leaves us with some room to spare. Here's METX 11 pulling a dozen oldies north over the Fox Lake Sub diamond at Grayslake. The F40's are all older unrebuilt models that have ben pushed out of service since the coming of the Amtrak F59PHI's and were used primarily on the Union Pacific purchase of service lines.
Looking like a lighthouse, this building in the city can't possibly have been used as such, but I have no idea what it is ..
This spotted towhee was flirting with another in our yard. It flew from the fence to the tree, then down to this thing - it's an old hospital screen that my wife picked up when the hospital modernized. It's now used in our garden as a support - of plants in additional to these random birds!
Mr L bought me some lovely flowers in gorgeous autumn colours and nestled hidden in the middle was this pink Gerbera. Very pretty in its own right but clashing badly with the rest. So Miss odd one out got taken out and put in her own vase. Thanks for viewing and have a lovely Sunday 💕
