I'm not the biggest fan of the GMTX paint. That modern scheme never seemed to fit well when paired with a CN unit in my eye (other then CNs GP-38 standard cabs). But a matched set of the blues and I'm all for it.
In this instance, I ran into CN 580 on the Hagaersville Sub, about to cross Onondaga Townline Rd. They're heading back to Brantford after lifting gons from Caledonia and swapping cars at Nicholson & Cates (on Caledonia) and the CGC plant.
As I type this, I believe the Hagersville sub is still closed with protestors blockading the tracks again as the other night I heard 580 (or potencially 581 since it was at night) call for a light from Brantford into the connecting track at Hamilton.
Two Stormcocks in one frame !
We thought there must be more than one, for years. Now we know !
Stormcock = Mistle thrush.
This superb pair of Setra S228DTs were in Brighton today, 20th August 2019, on their way to the Great Dorset Steam Fair. German operator Cultbus have four of these fitted out with bunk beds. I am told that OE CB 1111 dates from 1988. Owner Jorg Hoffmann was today at the wheel and tells me that operations will close at the end of this season after 42 years on the road.
Magpie lark (Grallina cyanoleuca) is a common Australian bird known by numerous other names, Peewee, Peewit, and Pied Mudlark for example. DNA evidence suggests it is a large Monarch Flycatcher. Its nest is mostly mud and like that of the Restless Flycatcher. Now that is all clarified I thought that this pair, male at top, made a pretty portrait perched on a dead mangrove branch against the early morning sky — another perfect day in Queensland.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs East Riding of Yorkshire
The UK's coasts have many stretches of sheer cliffs where seabirds breed and the guillemot is one of the most numerous birds in the great 'seabird cities'. It comes to land only to nest, spending the rest of its life at sea, where it is vulnerable to oil spills. Dark brown and white, not as black as the similar razorbill, it has a 'bridled' form with a white ring round the eye and stripe behind it.

This Glossy Ibis pair are very striking looking in their mating plumage of deep reddish brown almost maroon color and the shiny, iridescent wing feathers. This pair was working very hard on their nest in order to start their family, but then they left and made their nest a foot or so deeper into the bush. But Lucky Me I got a photo of them out more in the open.
A pair of Indiana Northeastern Geeps is tied down at Fremont, IN on June 17, 2023. This was a short but necessary diversion while I was chasing a steam excursion with NKP 765. The Indiana Northeastern has several vintage diesels that appear to be well kept. The railroad operates over former New York Central and Wabash trackage in the region where Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan all come together.

Snapshot taken when Pam and I lived in Chicago. Redux edited 9/27/2023. Original “Aperture” editing rather limited. We were invited to accompany a close acquaintance of ours, who was very much into the arts and cultures of Chicago, to a south side Black Art Appreciation festival. Pam posed next to one of our favorite pieces. Had the opportunity to discuss the piece with the artist. A most interesting afternoon.
Male cinnamon teal have a cinnamon-red head, neck, breast and belly. They have an iridescent green speculum, which is separated from a bluish shoulder patch by a white stripe. The back, rump, uppertail coverts and tail are a dull brown and the undertail coverts are black. They have a distinctive red eye, a black bill and yellow legs and feet. Female cinnamon teal are often confused with female blue-winged teal. They have a duller blue shoulder patch, an overall rustier color and are more heavily streaked.
This week's theme in the 52 weeks 2021 edition is "pairs"
I only realised when I went to upload my shot, that a similar concept was part of the examples.
Still sticking with it....

Oh what good light can do. Here's the last pair, and one of my favorites. Perhaps it's because these two paired off and swan in the same direction.
I do like Ring-neck Ducks, but for the first time, I didn't space out the posting of types of birds, then a butterfly, a flower, etc.
Anyway, thanks for all the comments. Now, I'm off to see if I can find the Golden Eagle that's been spotted around the hills. My life list is now at nine.
