Eastern Gray Squirrel.
Between 17 to 19 3/4 inches long. Gray above with buff underfur showing especially on the head, shoulders, back and feet. They have a flattened bushy tail which is gray with silvery tipped hairs.
In Canada, some have rufous bellies and tails. Black phase common in northern parts of their range.
Their habitat is hardwood or mixed forests with nut trees, especially oak-hickroy forests.
They range in the eastern United States from eastern North Dakota south to eastern Texas.

Just another wider take on this picture perfect scene.
After grabbing the Valley Railroad steam shot I headed down here to check another box. I'd been wanting to get a nice sunny well lit shot of Amtrak ACS64 662 in it's special 'Phase III' wrap sponsored by the Train Sim World 2 game. Thanks to a tip from a friend I knew it was leading Washington bound regional train 135. Here they are right on time wheeling west around the curve on Main 1 into BROOK interlocking at MP 103.6 on Amtrak's New Haven Line main.

'It was way past midnight
And she still couldn't fall asleep
This night the dream was leavin'
She tried so hard to keep
And with the new day's dawning
She felt it driftin' away
Not only for a cruise
Not only for a day'
The booted is a small eagle, comparable to the common buzzard in size though more eagle-like in shape. Males grow to about 510–770 g (1.12–1.70 lb) in weight, with females about 840–1,025 g (1.852–2.260 lb) with a length of 40 cm and a wingspan of 110–132 cm. There are two relatively distinct plumage forms. Pale birds are mainly light grey with a darker head and flight feathers. The other form has mid-brown plumage with dark grey flight feathers. It was found in a study investigating polymorphism that these discrete colour morphs follow a Mendelian inheritance pattern, where the paler allele is dominant. In South Africa, 20% of the population is the dark colour morph. Booted eagles are typically seen in pairs or as solitary individuals. However, the study found that the darker morphs are much more common in the eastern populations such as in Russia.
For a short time, Amtrak’s California Zephyr saw 161 on rotation. This was Amtrak’s Phase I heritage unit and replaced the previous Phase I, 156, after it hit a truck and got severely damaged. Just like 156, 161 also has been retired as a few weeks ago it caught fire in Washington D.C. and was burnt to a crisp.
As I sit here writing this in the final hour of 2020, reflecting back upon the year that was, I cannot help but think of something that someone said on one of the myriad podcasts I listen to. If for nothing else, 2020 has provided us all with the one thing we could never get enough of: Time. And what we have chosen to do with the time that has been given us has been one of the most important decisions of the year. For me, in between many other projects, I have finally began the long process of organizing and sorting my old photos. Here is one of them. Amtrak Phase 3 Heritage Unit 145 leads westbound train #380, the Illinois Zephyr, around the bend at Main Street in downtown Sandwich, IL on an early September evening in 2014.

This is an image of an around 50% illuminated phase of our closest planetary neighbour Venus.
I managed to get my planetary scope out back in June to image this beautiful object, shining brilliantly in our evening skies then. This represents the last time I have done any planetary imaging due to circumstances.
The data has been on my drive since and I'm only getting around to have a look at it now.
Venus is one of the so-called inferior planets, as it orbits the sun inside our orbit.
This means that Venus orbits the sun faster than earth and from our perspective is sometimes closer to us and at other times is on the far side of the sun. This change in relative position means we see phases for Venus (and Mercury).
Unfortunately when it approaches earth and is at its largest apparent size its phase also decreases!
This is a false coloured UV/IR filter image to reveal some cloud structure in the thick atmosphere of Venus. Data from the IR filter is mapped to the red channel and that from the UV is mapped to blue. A synthetic green channel is produced from a blend of both. Some lovely cloud structure is apparent.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM camera. Using Baader IR pass and Venus U filters.
Today Amtrak unveiled a new phase III wrap on ACS-64 #662 sponsored by the Train Simulator video game. It's maiden voyage was on train 176 this afternoon and I happened to be in New Haven so I figured I'd grab a shot. Here we see the train doing station work before the last leg of the trip to Boston. As of now the engine should be leading 93 in the morning so happy hunting for those interested.
Amtrak 89 heads south with one of the Phase 6 Chargers for power. I preferred this livery on these things over the Phase 7 that eventually stuck. It's a shame there weren't more of them in this scheme.
Amtrak Phase 7 (VII) Metroliner cab car 9646 leads Valley Flyer train 461 in Meriden, CT on September 27, 2015. The Russell Hall Company was established in 1854 for selling tinware and grocery supplies, and then specialized in paper products and cleaning supplies. In 2022, Imperial Dade of Jersey City, NJ acquired Russell Hall and this Meriden location closed.
Seven is a lucky number after all.
A bad luck Friday had Amtrak's Southwest Chief running three and a half hours late into it's thirtieth stop at Riverside, California. The train is only three and a half miles away from it's previous stop in San Bernardino and is now on the home stretch for Los Angeles Union Station, granted now the train is having to navigate outside of it's time window running into BNSF's morning Z-train wave as it wiggles through La Cadena. Leading the train was Amtrak 138 a repainted P42DC wearing the newer Phase VII paint scheme which debuted in 2022, but since Siemens Chargers don't frequent this long distance train have kept sightings like this far and few between especially given Amtrak's running hours through this part of the LA Basin and SoCal as a whole.
Ice and snow slowly transition to liquid water in a small, shallow tarn high above the Innvikfjorden and the town of Loen, Norway.
The climb up a different fjord on the previous day was significant enough that some in our party balked at repeating the effort so soon on its heels, so on this day we elected to plonk down our kroners and enjoy an effortless ride to the top of the Innvikfjorden via the Loen Skylift. The Skylift is a large gondola supported by only two towers, one at the beginning and one at the end. On the ride up, the angle of the lines is such that one is essentially hauled straight up a good portion of the cliff, providing quite a sensation of the heights. The top of the Skylift has a restaurant with an extraordinary view, and a ledge frequented by people wearing squirrel wingsuits to launch into the void, for what must be the mother of all adrenaline rushes. We witnessed several people preparing to make the leap, and I cannot say I was inspired to attempt such foolishness myself.
Seeking adventures on a somewhat less exciting scale, I had it in mind to walk up one of the peaks that is several kilometers from the top of the Skylift. Not long after setting off, we encountered more or less continuous snow cover, and it was clear that the route to the peak I wanted to ascend was steep and snowy enough that it would be dangerous without axe and crampons. Lacking such helpful instruments, I noticed a rock band that looked possible to climb up and around the steepest of the snow, but my wife put her foot down firmly and informed me she was not at all interested in such things, but that I was welcome to head up myself if I wanted. My two boys also demurred. Feeling that common sense might be percolating through the rest of my family, I gave up the idea and we set our sights on a somewhat closer, and reasonably safer overlook in a different direction. Along the way I discovered this small tarn, and I was captivated by the abrupt phase transition from solid to liquid that divides the frame.

Amtrak’s new fleet wide paint scheme, known as Phase VII, is taking the railroad over by storm. While the scheme has yet to debut on passenger cars, locomotives have been rolling out of the shop left and right wearing the eye catching new paint. Here it is on the mighty Genesis locomotive leading the southbound Silver Star through Boca Raton, FL

A nice treat this morning was to find Amtrak's Phase 4 heritage unit, AMTK 164, leading the westbound Zephyr as the train crosses East Portal Road between Tolland and East Portal. Fall colors are about as good as they are going to get, offering a spectacular ride for passengers.
