I ran into more Pine Grosbeaks today. It's strange as usually I only see a few each year. Maybe being retired and I'm out looking for them instead of behind my desk working for a living...just saying!
The red ones are males and the orange and gray are females.
I've recently spent a bit of time up on the West Coast of Scotland aiming for Pine Marten at night via camera traps.
It took three nights for this shot to work out, but I think it was worth it!

One of dozens of PIne Siskins passing through my neighbourhood in recent days. This one looks like it may have found a little puddle to splash in.

Unlike some of our gaudier warblers, the Pine makes do with a very simple color scheme. Seen at Harns Marsh/Queen Rd.

This Pine Warbler was feeding on spiders and bugs in ARM-Lox NWR. Always fun to watch the small birds go about their business.

Derryclare Lough with Pine Island and Derryclare Mountain (one of the Twelve Bens), seen from a resting spot on the N59 road, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland
Some background information:
Derryclare Lough is a freshwater lake at the entrance of the Inagh Valley in the west of Ireland. It is located about in the Connemara region in County Galway about 20 km (12 miles) to the east of Clifden on the N59 road. The Twelve Bens mountain range lies to the north of the lake, with the mountain of Derryclare (677 metres resp. 2,221 feet above sea level) overlooking the lake itself.
The lake is fed from rivers from Lough Inagh, which itself is fed from several mountain streams in the area, but most importantly from the Gleninagh River that starts high up in the Gleninagh Valley on the slopes of Benbaun and Bencollaghduff, and the Tooreennacoona River. Derryclare Lough flows into Ballynahinch Lake, where it eventually joins the Owenmore River, and flows into Bertraghboy Bay.
Derryclare Lough is noted for its lake and river fishing with spring salmon, grilse and sea trout. The Lough and its fishing rights are privately owned and controlled by local fishing lodges in the Inagh Valley. The lake is a popular scenic location, and hence, extensively photographed. It offers views directly into the Glencoaghan Valley of the Twelve Bens and the peaks of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, a 16 kilometres long route that is considered one of Ireland's best hill-walks.
Derryclare is a mountain at the southern edge of Twelve Bens range in the Connemara National Park. It it is just the 119th–highest peak in Ireland, but the 5th tallest of the Twelve Bens. Derryclare's only neighbour is Bencorr (711 metres resp. 2,333 feet above sea level), the 2nd-highest peak in the Twelve Bens range, to which it is connected by a high northern rocky ridge. Derryclare is one of the more accessible Twelve Bens. A number of routes are available from the Glencoaghan Valley side in the west, or the Derryclare Nature Reserve side in the east, that climb to the summit and back.
The N59 road is a portion of The Wild Atlantic Way, a tourism trail on the west coast, and on parts of the north and south coasts, of Ireland. The 2,500 km (1,553 mile) driving route passes through nine counties and three provinces, stretching from County Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula in the very north of Ireland to Kinsale, County Cork, on the Celtic Sea coast in the very south. Along the route there are 157 discovery points, 1,000 attractions and more than 2,500 activities. In 2014, the route was officially launched by the Republic of Ireland’s Minister of State for Tourism and Sport, Michael Ring.
However, the roads forming the Wild Atlantic Way have always been favoured by locals and tourists alike for generations even before they became known collectively as the Wild Atlantic Way route. They offer truly spectacular Atlantic ocean vistas as well as many places to visit and sights by the roadside. More than 150 locations have been officially designated as Discovery Points. These have been marked locally with a special signpost.
A further 15 locations are highlighted as Signature Discovery Points of special importance. These are the 15 best stops along the Wild Atlantic Way. From north to south, these places are: Malin Head, County Donegal, Fanad Head, County Donegal, Slieve League, County Donegal, Mullaghmore Head, County Sligo, Downpatrick Head, County Mayo, Keem Strand, County Mayo, Killary Harbour, County Mayo, Derrigimlagh Bog, County Galway, Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Loop Head, County Clare, Blasket’s View, County Kerry, Skellig’s View, Bray Head on Valentia Island, County Kerry, Dursey Island, County Cork, Mizen Head, County Cork, and Old Head of Kinsale, County Cork.
Nevertheless, I personally believe that it’s even better to make your own discoveries while travelling on the Wild Atlantic Way. The reason is that many of these Signatory Discovery Points of special importance are widely known and hence, often overrun with visitors, in particular during the high season. But other spots roadside or just off the road are similarly beautiful while being less frequented. So my tip would be: Just travel unprejudicedly and stop wherever you feel like it and enjoy the view. If you act like this, you’ll hardly be able to drive more than 20 km without any stopover.
County Galway is a county in the west of Ireland, taking up the south of the province of Connacht. The traditional county includes the city of Galway, but the city and county are separate local government areas. Currently, the population of the county is more than 276,000. In the west of the county, there are several Irish-speaking areas.
The first inhabitants in the Galway area arrived over 7000 years ago. The county originally comprised several kingdoms and territories which predate the formation of the county. These kingdoms included Aidhne, Uí Maine, Maigh Seóla, Conmhaícne Mara, Soghain and Máenmaige. In 1569, County Galway became an official entity. The region known as Connemara retains a distinct identity within the county, though its boundaries are unclear. Hence, it may account for as much as one third or as little as 20% of the county. Places of interest in Galway are among others the Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey and Dunguaire Castle.
