After bringing their train into Duluth a PEG and 2 CN SD40's pick up their van and are ready to head back to West Duluth in June 1979.

For the 114 in 2014 Group - #40 Level

A play on the phrase "Level pegging" - being in an equal position in a game or contest. ;o)

I know the phrase from the game of Cribbage, which uses a peg-board for scoring (a peg-board shot is in the first comment field). Online definitions suggest it could originate from Darts.

David Kingham and I ventured out last night to catch a sunset on the Buttes. On the way out we scoped out an abandoned house to hit up on our way home. I've had an idea in mind to light paint old houses like this for some time and with some recent acquisitions I am finally putting the plan to work. David and I took numerous shots painting various colors and lights all over the house and landscape but I ultimately went with a more subtle approach for the first one out of the chute (shoot).

This house is located in the middle of nowhere in the CO plains and was abandoned in the dust bowl. Up until a couple of years ago the house would have been the only thing around for many, many miles but over the last couple years oil rigs have begun to dot the landscape. Today they are becoming the norm and it's difficult to not see several no matter where you are. At night, there lights are numerous. You can see two such lights on either side of the house and the red light you see on the cloud and right side of the house is from a gas relief flame about a mile down the road.

Placing the lights inside this house was one of the most creepy things I've done in a long time. It was just plain spooky. Even the bat that attacked (flew close by actually) while I was light painting the porch didn't bother me nearly as much as walking into that house. I never would have guessed my dream to shoot this type of stuff was going to peg the creepometer.

Historia Natural

Reproducción

Se encontró un nido construido en un arrayán (Vaccinium consanguineum) de 2.6 m. de altura y a 2.25 m. del suelo, semioculto entre las ramas centrales. El nido es una copa voluminosa y compacta, elaborado con la hepática foliosa Frullaria sp. y en menor grado con los musgos Pilotrichella flexilis, Leptontium sp. y Plagiochilla sp.; además, presenta un líquen fructiculoso en cantidades muy pequeñas, y una mezcla de hepáticas foliosas y musgos no identificados. La cámara de los huevos está formada por una capa de 5 mm. de espesor de rizomas de helechos, seguida por otra capa más delgada de inflorescencias de zacate, y más externamente, otra capa de 5 a 6 mm. de espesor del musgo Thuidium sp., que en algunas partes sale al exterior del nido o se encuentra rodeada por otra capa de la hepática Frullaria sp.

Se encontraron 4 huevos de forma elíptica corta, color celeste verdoso, con manchas muy pequeñas de color ámbar quemado distribuidas más densamente en el extremo más ancho, en forma de corona.

Alimentación

Se alimenta de néctar al introducir el pico entre flores pequeñas ( Vaccinium sp., Macleania sp. (Ericaceae), Weinmannia sp. (Cunnoniaceae) y Solanum sp.) Rebusca en forma activa entre el follaje en pos de insectos, o los atrapa en el aire (ej. abejas, escarabajos, moscas, avispas, larvas de lepidópteros), y captura arañas pequeñas. Asimismo, se alimenta de semillas de bambú o zacates (ej. Trisetum sp.), directamente de las inflorescencias, o del suelo. Brinca sobre el suelo y recoge semillas de gramíneas. Perfora las bayas con el pico, y luego las lleva a una percha horizontal contra la cual les exprime el jugo, y al final desecha la cáscara.

Comportamiento

Son solitarios, o forman parejas o grupos pequeños, y en ocasiones se unen a bandadas de Chlorospingus, reinitas, etc.

Habitat y Distribución

Habitat

Frecuentan los bordes y las aberturas de los bosques montanos, áreas de crecimiento secundario con matorrales o bambú denso y potreros sombreados.

Distribución

Es una especie residente de poco común a común y en forma esporádica en algunos sitios. Es residente y posiblemente nómada en las alturas, desde la Cordillera de Tilarán hacia el sur hasta Panamá. Se localiza desde los 1500 m. en la Cordillera de Tilarán, y los 2100 m. en las Cordilleras Volcánica Central y de Talamanca, hasta el límite superior de la existencia de árboles. Aparecen y anidan en buen número cuando fructifica el bambú. Durante la estación lluviosa en ocasiones descienden hasta los 1200 m., como en San Pedro de Montes de Oca (San José).

Distribución fuera de Costa Rica

Se encuentran en Costa Rica y el extremo oeste de Panamá.

Found a pack of six very modern and colourfull pegs at a discount store and of course they begged me to bring them home... i could not resist their beauty...more colors will follow :))

Taken a few years ago , on a cold night

Much work still to be done.

No. Absolutely knot. There are no pegs in this photo.

I can't help it everytime I see the pegs on the washing line I see if there is another photograph waiting there :)

It's a fairly common problem among the stainless steel Phicens that the left wrist peg comes loose, so much so that you'll pull the wrist peg out of its socket while popping hands off the figure. Someone on a Phicen Facebook forum said the root cause was that the wrist peg had come loose from its socket and needed to be re-seated.

With this in mind, I peeled back the skin of a Phicen that had a loose left wrist peg and saw this. The socket for the wrist peg has a split design that clamps onto the wrist peg and holds it in place. If it this socket pulls loose, the two sides of the clamp don't engage and the wrist peg pops out.

Take a look at how much of the wrist socket is exposed from the metal tube that's containing it. This is the "Before" shot.
