John Ray wrote the first proper bird book in the English language in 1678 (though he published the same work in Latin two years earlier). There were earlier books that referenced birds, often with a more general natural history theme, but Ray's was the first devoted to birds. In this first bird book Ray gave three names to this species; "The common Barn-Owl, or White-Owl, or Church-Owl". So one name referred to its unique owl colour, and two referred to its habitat preferences. Interestingly Ray gave the name "Ivy-Owl" as an alternative to our Tawny Owl, and I usually find them roosting in Ivy. The next major work on birds was Thomas Pennant in 1768, though it was a more general work on Zoology. Pennant coined the term warbler used for so many of our birds, and he often led the way for the selection of the accepted British name. But Pennant backed the wrong horse in this instance and chose White Owl. Later authors were reluctant to lose Barn Owl and often kept both names, such as William Yarrell in 1843. He listed both names but in his text showed a clear preference for Barn Owl, and the BOU officially adopted Barn Owl in 1883. So that is why a bird that nests freely in holes in trees, nest boxes on posts, and a variety of old buildings, has become linked to barns. Before I leave the names, the name Screech Owl was widely used and pre-dates Ray as it was first used in 1593. And Barn Owl does indeed screech. Have a listen on xeno-canto: www.xeno-canto.org/604167 , but the name Screech Owl has been adopted for different species of owl in America.
I photographed this hunting Barn Owl recently not far from my home while I was out for an afternoon walk. It was hunting over an abandoned grass field. You can see by the bramble over the wall that the field hasn't been used for some time.
just had another picture published ,taken a couple of years ago ,its in the july 2011 edition of the searcher magazine .

For a long time, I have aimed to photograph the belted kingfisher. My first encounter with this bird occurred in Arkansas, where I observed two kingfishers playing and hunting along a local creek. Unfortunately, they were too far for me to capture a good photo. Since then, I have frequented several birding locations in hopes of catching a glimpse of the kingfisher, but I've always returned empty-handed. After relocating back to Southern California, I finally spotted a kingfisher at Bolsa Chica when it landed on a dead tree just a few meters away. Since that day, I have taken many photos of it. Interestingly, the kingfisher seems to prefer Bolsa Chica only on cloudy or foggy mornings, as I have never seen it there in good light, making it challenging to photograph. The photo above is the best lighting I have managed so far. It seems that to capture that perfect image of the kingfisher, I truly have to earn it.

---------------------------
The beautiful villa was built at the end of XVII century by the Milanese marquis Giorgio Clerici in a natural basin between lake and mountains, facing the dolomite Grignas and the peninsula of Bellagio. The architect created for the Clericis an important but sober building, with an Italian garden decorated with sculptures, stairs and fountains.
In 1801 Gian Battista Sommariva, famous politician, businessman and patron of arts, bought the villa. Thanks to this owner the property in Tremezzo attained the summit of its splendour and became one of the most important halting-place of the Grand Tour. The villa became a temple of XIX century art with works of Canova, Thorvaldsen and Hayez: Palamedes, Eros and Psyche, Terpsychore, The last kiss of Romeo and Juliet are only some of the masterpieces that enriches the extraordinary collection. Under Sommariva part of the park was transformed in a fascinating romantic garden.
Sommariva's heirs sold the villa in 1843 to Princess Marianne of Nassau, Albert's of Prussia wife, who gave it as a present to her daughter Carlotta in occasion of her wedding with Georg II of Saxen-Meiningen. Hence the name Villa Carlotta. Very fond in botanic, Georg enriched the park, today of great historical and environmental value. The gardens of Villa Carlotta chiefly owe their reputation to the rhododendrons' and azaleas' spring flowering, consisting of over 150 different sorts.

——————
The lilac-breasted roller (Coracias caudatus) is an African member of the roller family of birds. It is widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula, preferring open woodland and savanna; it is largely absent from treeless places. Usually found alone or in pairs, it perches conspicuously at the tops of trees, poles or other high vantage points from where it can spot insects, lizards, scorpions, snails, small birds and rodents moving about at ground level.
Nesting takes place in a natural hole in a tree where a clutch of 2–4 eggs is laid, and incubated by both parents, who are extremely aggressive in defence of their nest, taking on raptors and other birds. During the breeding season the male will rise to great heights, descending in swoops and dives, while uttering harsh, discordant cries. The sexes are alike in coloration. Juveniles do not have the long tail feathers that adults do.
This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.

During our most recent trip to Zion National Park, I went to one of my favorite viewpoints, the Canyon Overlook, as it has become a tradition for me. I always love capturing the golden hour scenes of canyons, even though it's a challenging experience. However, the challenge of getting it right always seems to lure me out, even on a cold, blustery evening.
In the past, I relied heavily on exposure blending using an HDR plug-in and was never fully satisfied with the results. Over the years, I have learned that taking images with intention is important when you plan on exposure blending later. For this scene, I took images by exposing the darkest shadows and dialed in exposure compensation until I got the bright part in the sky exposed perfectly. It took me about five images, including my safety shots. Although I am not fully there with my editing, I love the results more now.

Overnight System... Outflow Dominate with a Nice Shelf. Lots of cloud of cloud lightning but this was a fast moving storm. Just a few snaps as this rolled in from the northwest that evening.

This old surrey school is about to be pulled down for houses but I thought I would have a wander around before it was demolished. A spooky experience especially as the interior has been severely trashed and I definitely heard rustlings in the building, probably an animal but who knows!

Cygnus columbianus bewickii at Slimbrige
The Northwest European population of Bewick’s Swan winters mainly in Britain, the Netherlands and Germany, with smaller numbers in Denmark, Sweden, Belgium and France. The population breeds at high latitudes in Arctic Russia from the Fenno-Russian border east to the Lena Delta.
There are also two other populations of Bewick’s Swan: an eastern population which breeds in Arctic Russia to the east of the Lena Delta and winters in Japan, China and Korea; and a much smaller population that winters in the Caspian Sea region.
The Northwest European population is a conservation priority, having declined by more than a quarter since the mid 1990s. An AEWA Single Species Action Action Plan was published in 2012 to focus and coordinate conservation efforts.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon / evening on Flickr Click Here
Just to the west of Odessa Nebraska...
First few shots of the day as this already severe warned storm was approaching from the northwest of my current location. Got in alignment of where I thought I had the best possible chance for pics & video. An open view with no power lines. Which is rare. Even in Nebraska.
There were actually 2 storm cells. Both were severe warned. I was on the outer boundaries of the western storm. The eastern storm was going to eventually merge with this storm & become one.
The lean or tilt in this storm meant business. Nothing to take away its energy for doing its building process. Rotation was imminent, though question was would this storm produce a tornado?

It appears so peaceful, out the front door of our hootch. But every once in a while, Charlie would fire a rocket at us. Thankfully, due to the mountains behind us, it was pretty much impossible for him to get the right 'angle' of attack, and they either ended up near the air base, or waaaaaaaaaaay out in the rice paddies.
And yes, that is Monkey Mountain in the distance. That's where our AFVN radio station was located. It would give us the 'sanitized' news of what was going on back home. People just don't realize how much truth there was in the old Robin Williams film, "Good Morning, Viet Nam."
At least they would play Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Grass Roots, and Steppenwolf, without whom we would have never survived.

Some good photo ops, as I was driving south. Tornado Warning now on the cell just to the east. Had to get to the Hwy 15 / Hwy 41 Junction to watch the wall cloud move just to the west of Wilbur Nebraska.
A few of these might be a little blurry, though structure was wanted to show here. It was my only Tor Warned storm all day, as I was now close to 13 hours on my chase day. I was getting tired and I wasn't about to chase a tornado in the dark, so to get close and witness what I could as there was no light left. 1"-2" Hail now was pounding my windshield and it would only get worse. Though I rolled down the window and shot these final shots...
Final Day shots that is...

In th short time Barangaroo has been open, this has become one of the classic compositions.
A calm spring morning, with great light.
Published...Very blessed to have this Black-tailed buck image published in the most recent Mule Deer Foundation Magazine. Sorry I have not kept you abreast of published images for the past year or more...too busy!
Whale Beach North, or "The Wedge" as it is known locally, is dominated by this large rock standing slightly separated from the shelf.
The ocean surges strongly through the channel in both directions. I have been eying out this location for a while, and finally the conditions were perfect to get close enough to get this angle.

Stopped by Oxford Falls after breakfast. After another wet week, I was keen to see the what the falls looked like with the extra water. I made my way down to the lower falls this time - a bit of a scramble because of the wet ground, but easy enough.
This waterfall is within 10 minutes drive of my house. Amazing how many waterfalls you can find in and around the suburbs if you have a reason to look!
The Harbour shipping control tower, which is destined to be demolished.
As part of the redevelopment of Barangaroo the tower has ben decomissioned, but a long battle to save it from demolition has failed.

Today I became a published photographer. One of my photos is on the cover of a local tourist magazine. This is the first time I've had a photo used in print. Had some used on websites before, but that's all until today. 35,000 copies are being distributed to the towns listed on the cover. It's not Nat Geo, but I'll take it. lol
The photo used was taken last November from Foothills Parkway looking toward the Great Smoky Mountains.
