(Second of two) Looking at the upper side of the wings, it is easy to see how this species got its common name. This Red-patched Leafwing, Siderone syntyche, was spotted just off the Manu Road. There are currently only 14 observations of the species on iNaturalist. For a distribution map and additional photos by other observers: www.inaturalist.org/taxa/423939-Siderone-syntyche

The Cabbage Patch
An image from Saturday at my fave tree:) I had to put the waders on for a bit of protection while I made my way around the field to get close to the tree and gently making my way between the cabbages.
I took a few images before the sun broke the horizon but I wanted to wait until I had a bit of light thrown over the cabbages. Lots of mist flowing through the valley below, but it wasn't until the sun broke the horizon that the heat on the cabbages produced a light layer of mist in the field creating a nice bit of atmosphere.

Pic of me out photographing trains on the Pittsburgh line.
My wife spent this summer sewing patches onto a jean jacket and I think the results are pretty nice. I have to track down a few more patches to get it looking perfect.
A nice find on an otherwise lackluster day of beautiful sun and very few trains.

I love firearms, and I like to shoot, although I don't get to very often. I'm not a hunter, nor am I some kind of militia fanatic. I just like guns, whether I shoot them or not; and I usually carry when I'm in the mountains. Unfortunately, I'm too poor to own very many. I do however, collect firearm related patches and stickers. They are much more affordable.

A C&NW patched unit leads a UP coal drag north on the Hoxie subdivision just north of Higginson, AR.
Patches, Lilly Pad, and Whitey are available for adoption, hopefully all together, at The Cat Connection in Brighton, Massachusetts. They're one-year-old sisters, and are all sweet and playful.
It's August 11th 1993, and SD40-2s #8040 and #8400 bring a westbound over the summit of the Alleghenies at Sand Patch. While bemoaned by many, I don't think too many would complain today over a yellow-nose'd stealth SD40-2 leading a train to shoot. It's worth noting 8400 back there is former WM SD40 #7449.

Another shot Kyle got on Wednesday... the photo by itself was striking and needed very little editing for uploading but I did add a texture to it to add to its character.
Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) Patch at Lal Bagh Flower Show 25 on India's Republic Day Celebration.
Very deceptive terrain. what looks like solid ground is actually very soft mud. Every year fire and rescue is called out to the mudflats around Anchorage to rescue stuck people. The danger is not the mud. The danger is that the mud holds you until the fast moving tide comes back in and drowns you.

Potato Patch Falls is a beautiful, though often unadvertised, seasonal waterfall in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
I saw my first wild poppy in bloom in April this year. This is my first glimpse of a poppy field - albeit a very small patch
we don't need no stinking patches!

Cisticolas are among the most challenging of birds to identify. There are around fifty species that are all small and streaky. The name Cisticola means Cistus-dwelling, referring to the shrubby habitat of many species. Nearly all are found in Africa, with one species on Madagascar (Madagascar Cisticola) and another (Golden-headed Cisticola) in Asia and Australasia. We even have one species in Europe that we used to call Fan-tailed Warbler (Cisticola juncidis) but now call it Zitting Cisticola, and that has occasionally strayed to Britain. DNA studies have revealed that they are not closely related to the Old World Warblers, but are close to White-eyes (Zosterops spp).
So onto Pectoral Patch Cisticola (Cisticola brunnescens) which is patchily distributed on mountains in two well separated areas; West Central Africa and West Central Africa. There aren't many correctly identified photographs on Flickr (some are even the wrong family eg larks). Breeding males have a rufous crown with little streaking but non-breeding males, females and immatures have black-streaked crowns like this. Sometimes they show some darker colouration on the sides of the breast, hence the name Pectoral Patch Cisticola. They feed mainly on the ground in upland (1650-3000m asl) grasslands and moorlands in Ethiopia where I photographed this one. I know it has a cluttered background but it shows the habitat well and there really aren't that many photographs that show the bird as well as this.
This was kind of a sad collection of pumpkins ready for picking at the Cornbelly's Pumpkin Patch in Spanish Fork.
