Growing out of the red rock at the fossil beds in central Oregon.

I found it a challenge to get a shot of this spider. The web was stretched between two trees. If I shot straight on, the sun was behind the spider. I tried shooting at various angles. I think my persistence paid off. ID welcome.

Merlin

 

Falco columbarius

 

Meirliún

 

Status: Local summer visitor to uplands throughout Ireland. Widespread winter visitor at lowland sites from October to April.

 

Conservation Concern: Amber-listed in Ireland due to its small breeding population. The European population is considered to be Secure.

 

Identification: A bird of prey (raptor) with a short hooked bill. A smallest species of falcon, similar to Peregrine in shape, with relatively narrow wings and a medium length tail. Nimble in flight, will pursue its prey for extended periods. Fleeing prey, for example Meadow Pipits, will occasionally associate with humans to avoid Merlin's which are in close pursuit. Males and females have different plumages. Adult males have blue-grey upperparts with a wide dark band on the end of the tail and dark outer wing feathers, the underparts are finely barred; the chest is orangey yellow. Females are brown-grey above with a number of dark thick bands on its tail, the underparts are finely barred. Both sexes show a faint moustachial strip. Juvenile birds are very similar to females.

 

Similar Species: Kestrel, Sparrowhawk.

 

Call: Silent except in the area of its nesting site. A series of sharp accelerating notes.

 

Diet: Small birds, such as Meadow Pipits and Skylarks. Prey is caught by surprise attack from a low gliding flight close to the ground, by persistence pursuit or from a vertical dive.

 

Breeding: A rare breeding bird in Ireland. Nests on the ground on moorland, mountain and blanket bog. Also nests in woodland and has taken to nesting in forestry plantations adjacent to moorland. More Merlins are found in the west of the country but they are scattered across the midlands and the Wicklow Mountains also hold good numbers.

 

Wintering: Much more widely distributed in the winter, than in the breeding season. Merlins move away from high ground at this time of the year and can often be seen on the coast, where concentrations of other birds are attractive as prey species.

 

Where to See: A difficult species to see. Regular wintering sites include Tacumshin Lake in County Wexford and the East Coast Nature Reserve in Co. Wicklow.

Novelist Carol Wallace and poet Elaine Terranova talk at the reception following their readings at the Sunday Best Reading Series.

dalí has isolated the central image of his best-known paintin and given it the same title. it is a simple figure: a limp watch draped over the branch of a dead tree. dalínean time is not rigid; it is one with space... fluid. the unexpected softness of the watch also representz the psychological fact that the speed of time, while precise in scientific use, is widely variable in human perception. when we are involved in pleasant activitiez or in work that absorbz all our attention, 'time flies', but when we are mired in boredom or discomfort, it dragz. the limp watch no longer 'keepz' time; it does not measure itz passage. thus, the speed of our time dependz only on us.

Retro-Carded Shocker looks way better with panel-lining!

 

I went with a brown Gundam marker. My first time modifying an action figure, and I made my share of mistakes, but a little rubbing alcohol and persistence paid off.

 

This figure really should have come with those lines painted! Considering doing the same with Scorpion, but that figure’s sculpt has finer lines.

 

What do you think? Painting yours? Passing on Shocker entirely?

 

Fun figure to pose, happy to have in my collection of Spidey Baddies!

Weeds won't give up. No matter how many times, and how often I pull them out, they keep growing again, especially as I don't want to use any chemicals. Well, at least weeding is different from school work - you see the fruits of your labour straight away. I guess I am as persistent as the weeds!

Persistence of vision in effect.

This wall is constantly being tagged and constantly being painted over, but lately the building has only painted over the tag itself, so it's still quite visible.
