It took a little bit of waiting for the sunny railfan shot of the Missabe maroon pair once they were assigned to the E Lead Switch (actually 8 days of trying on the St. Louis River Road bridge), but we were able to get the DM&IR 215 and 403 working the north end of Proctor Yard here on September 27, 2021. Good thing we got the Missabe pair on day 8 as they only lasted on this job for 9 days. DMIR 215 and 403 are still together at Proctor but have spent the last few days inside the Diesel House.
Lots of CN painted EMDs continue working around Proctor as seen here around the yard, but two maroons look more at home even shuffling freight cars.

Not often does one find purple tulips, but these water-drenched beauties were to be seen at The Leaf, a major horticultural attraction in Winnipeg. Happy Tulip Tuesday!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment, I love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!
No Photoshop shenanigans here folks. It's a reflection of playing cards in Mylar.

The male had just dropped of some nest reinforcement. After a few words off he went to look for more. The female is sitting on eggs already. County of Sturgeon

Indiana. This pair has a juvenile who was born in the wild. I understand the parents were hatched in captivity and released. The male is apparently 18 years old and this is the first time he's been successful raising a hatchling to adult size. In this image they have just taken off from their overnight roosting area and are heading out to forage for the day. We were able to locate them at their overnight roosting site from the road and waited there until they flew off hoping to get images. The day prior we did the same thing and I'll post that image next as it is quite different than this one in regards to lighting and background and has more detail. A lot of effort for less than minute of shooting time but it was a lot of fun and I'm happy with the results.

Many years ago my 10 year old son went on his first school residential trip. One of their visits was to Skipton Castle where he decided to buy me these ear rings as a present. Only problem was, I didn't have pierced ears at the time. What could I do but have my ears pierced!
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Two pairs of Great Egret chicks waiting for their parents to return with breakfast at the Venice Area Audubon Rookery, Venice, Florida.
The Great Blue Herons are nesting again and occasionally putting on a show. They are both prehistoric, majestic and elegant all at the same time. One of my favorite birds. (Ardea herodias) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 559mm, f/6.3, 1/2500 second, ISO 640)
This week we spent some time doing bird surveys for the BirdLife Australia "Aussie Bird Count" . This involved recording bird sightings and numbers of birds in 20 minute blocks, logged against locations.
We were surprised to see a pair of magpie geese a bit further south than the zone specified in my bird book. I think they are planning to nest. I hope so, we will go back for another look in a couple of weeks.
These two Great Egret chicks were waiting for a parent to bring them food as alligators swam beneath the nest, a constant danger if they were to fall out. These chicks were pretty big and didn't have to much further to wait until they fledged.

This pair of mute swans engaged in what I assume to be bonding behaviour for several minutes.
