Atlapetes albinucha gutturalis

(Yellow-throated brush finch / Gorrión montés gorgi-amarillo)

 

La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.

 

The Yellow-throated brush finch ranges from Mexico to the mountains of W Colombia. All forms of this brush-finch have a white stripe down the midline of the crown from the forehead to the nape.

 

White-naped Brush-finches are found in subtropical to temperate elevations, from 1200 to 3100 m in elevation. They forage on the ground, often in family groups.

Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala)

 

The Noisy Miner clan at the Woodville Football Oval continues to increase. This one had swooped me as it thought I had got too close to its offspring, which I hadn't noticed at this point.

I came across this pair in a very tender moment where they touched and I also was touched, for I've seen this behavior before. The parent in front and with that beautiful red eye and the sibling with no color in the eye or in the feathers, they were inseparable, and thought that this image said it all folks, it did for me.

Have a great day everyone and thank you for the visit.

Always nice to see females with eggs! They're such good mothers though that they're infuriating, as they constantly lean towards the lens, to protect their brood!!

First Photo is of them the day they were married

Elasmucha grisea can reach a length of 6.5–8.8 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). Males are smaller than females. These medium-sized shieldbugs are usually brown-reddish, but there are also gray (hence the Latin species name grisea) and green-brown specimen. Connexivum is black and white. The upperside is covered with several dark dots. The scutellum usually shows an evident black patch. The ventral face is largely punctuated with black. Lateral corners of the pronotum are simply beveled. The front corners of the pronotum show a more pronounced tooth. Antennas are blackish in the male, dark brown in the female. This species, like other parent bugs possess methatoracic and abdominal glands, which discharge a foul smelling secretion. This secretion is used to deter potential enemies and is sometimes released when the bug is disturbed.

A brother and I stopped at “Our Parents Place” to reminisce for a bit before going on a cruise together. It was a beautiful day and by chance we wanted to get a couple photos of our street rods. We live a few hundred apart and wanted to pay our folks the respect of a visit. We had a blast and our folks never said a negative word. Gratitude and Kindness paid off again.

Swan parents - last week at Horn Pond. Thanks to the local Instagram community, I know at least half the eggs have hatched since then. I haven't had a chance to go back yet to try to see the babies - maybe sometime today, depending on the rain.

so perhaps these are

ssp.

S. r. notkensis

?

 

but i was not able to find pictorial or photographic

x references at time of posting

No conclusions drawn ...

  

That's me when I was about 3 years old.

This busy parent made us jump as it flew out of the hollow of a tree, flying inches from our faces.

 

Retiring to a safer distance we watched both parents hurrying to feed the hungry youngsters within the tree.

 

The light made the photo a little challenging to say the least.

Jessore, Bangladesh, 2011

 

Ramadan Mubarak to all of my friends.

 

Madrasa students are reciting the Holy Quran inside their living room. In rural Bangladesh, you will find peoples are very interest to send their children into the Madrasa, rather than primary school. They think religious education is the only way to gratify almighty and it will help the parents on Day of Judgment.

Something different. No bokeh today (sometimes I've got to do it). I had to stand in this spot for a while to get the path with no people on (there are some people in the distance though), but every time I tried to get a shot, someone would walk/cycle/skateboard into my shot. Now, if I trying for bokeh people, that would be fine, but instead, I probably looked like I was lost or something just standing there. :)

 

Happy Thursday! The weekend is in sight! I've looking forward to some quality time with my camera. I haven't picked it up for several weeks, and with the days getting really short, it's hard to find time or the light to get anything worth it. I always seem to be using the same lens recently, which is fine, but I do think I need to take some other lenses out for a spin this weekend. Maybe The Beast (macro lens)... or I might try and see if the garden birds co-operate with my big zoom lenses. We'll see... :)
