I photographed this inquisitive Pine Warbler during a beautiful evening in the longleaf.
Some thousands Pine Grosbeaks (Pinicola enucleator) have migrated from northeast (eg. Finland) searching for food. This male found some delicious red berries.

The (European) pine marten (Martes martes) is a stealthy, acrobatic hunter that relies on the cover of woods and trees for its foraging missions. The pine marten has a long, lithe body with chocolate-brown fur and a pale-yellow patch around its throat. It has large, round ears and a long, bushy tail and is similar in size to a small domestic cat. It measures around 60–70cm and weighs approximately 1–2kg. Males are roughly a third bigger than females.
The European pine marten is very similar to the beech marten or stone marten (Martes foina).
Pine martens mainly eat small mammals, such as voles and mice, but can take prey up to the size of a hare. They will readily scavenge on carrion and also take birds and their eggs when the opportunity arises. Pine martens are not entirely carnivorous, as fruit and berries are readily eaten too.
The pine marten (Martes martes) is distributed through most portions of continental Eurasia from western Europe in the west to western Siberia in the east, from the northern edge of coniferous forest in the north to Asia Minor in the south. The species also inhabits the Caucasus and many Mediterranean islands.
De boommarter of edelmarter (Martes martes) is een Europese marter. De vacht is chocoladebruin met een roomgele keelvlek.
De boommarter heeft een lange volle staart. De soort verschilt van de steenmarter met wie hij nogal eens wordt verward door de langere, bredere oren en de keelvlek, die bij een steenmarter wit van kleur is. Het dier wordt 36 tot 56 centimeter lang, 15 centimeter hoog en 500 tot 2200 gram zwaar. De staart is 17 tot 28 centimeter lang. Mannetjes zijn over het algemeen groter dan vrouwtjes.
De boommarter is carnivoor met omnivore trekken. Hij jaagt in bomen op eekhoorns en op de grond op kleine zoogdieren als muizen en konijnen. In de lente en de zomer jaagt hij ook op vogels en kikkers. Aan het einde van de zomer vormen ook honing, kevers, bessen en paddenstoelen een onderdeel van zijn voedsel.
Boommarters leven in Europa, en komen over het gehele continent voor, ook op de Middellandse Zee eilanden, de Britse Eilanden, en in de Kaukasus en Klein-Azië. Ze ontbreken alleen op IJsland.
Op het Iberisch Schiereiland zijn ze alleen in Noord-Spanje.
Het dier is in Nederland in het verleden sterk vervolgd waardoor de leefgebieden versnipperd zijn geraakt. De boommarter is voornamelijk in de schemering of 's nachts actief. In de zomer laten ze zich ook overdag zien. Meestal zijn dit een moeder met haar jongen. Ze zijn zeer behendig en klimmen lenig in bomen.
Ze kunnen van boom naar boom tot vier meter ver springen.

The mountain is fronted by some of the wonderful rock formations and desert scrub vegetation of the Alabama Hills Recreation Area.

My best warbler of the day. Well, to be more precise, this youngster was my best find of the day while looking for warblers.
True to its name, the pine warbler is a bird of open pine woods and pine barrens, especially during the breeding season.

I'm away for a few days so won't have access to Flickr. So here's a Pine Marten photo that I took courtesy of my friend Ron Marshall who invited us to stay with them at his holiday home on Ardnamurchan. That unusual background is Loch Sunart, the huge sea loch on the south side of Ardnamurchan peninsula. Pine Martens are regular visitors to the garden here but they were a no-show on my only scheduled evening there. But I was up at 5am, staring at the empty garden until 5:40am when this one suddenly appeared, and stayed for about 5 minutes. I had only seen two Pine Martens previously; one as a child at Inverpolly and one on Ardnamurchan in 1982 that crossed the road in front of my car. So I was over the moon to have this brief but meaningful encounter. Females are smaller than males, and this didn't look very big so I'm assuming this is a female. Mean length of males from head to tail tip is 742mm while females are 671mm, which is about 7cm shorter.
A long exposure of some fireworks lit off on my christmas tree. The tree was laying outside about to be thrown away, so I figured I'd put it to use.
