Great Tit [Parus Major]
A lovely afternoon brought literally hundreds of wee birdies to my feeders at The Pixies.
This Great Tit waited on a branch for a few seconds, before darting down to get a peanut. Sometimes, they will sit and eat sunflower hearts but normally they just swoop in, take a nut, and fly off, then come back and repeat the procedure. Apparently, they stash their food for later.

the secret of the fox
ancient mystery
somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hiding
what is your sound?
will we ever know?
will always be a mystery
what do you say?
*I took this awhile ago at Dispersion, but think it may be closed now?
I saw a hooded merganser couple in the creek from a distance. They swam away from me, so I continued with other subjects. I noted that the drake was approaching, and took up a position where I could catch a glimpse of him through the foliage. This was the result - one of the closest encounters I've had with a hooded merganser!
Quick shot then moved on to Black Swallowtail. I liked how the sun captured one part of the flower and rest was shaded. The creamy back ground was just a bonus (yes same spot as the cone flower shot) Happy Sunday To All. Be safe out there.
Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus)
They seemed like nervous birds. They would all get up and fly around in circles out over the marsh and land back down near the waters edge at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway, NJ.
Quite amusing watching these burying their winter stash but always finding time for a snack in between
That is how the leading daily here described the typhoon that hit the Philippines early this morning.
Definitely there were damages but we thank the Lord for our survival.

Quick and dirty. It's ok... Painting with three fractured ribs, which is why it's been a little while.
I'll go back to the intense fills and crazy letters etc once the ribs have healed. I just needed to get something up on the wall today... I was going nuts not having done a piece for ages.

Quick story about Iguana. Many moons ago I accompanied my son and a few of his 7th grade classmates to Guyana. We were in the Amazon forest being cared for by a very nice woman and a woodsman who would lead us to find snakes and other critters in the forest. The woman asked me if I would like Iguana for dinner and I said “Sure, I’ll try it.” She brought some to the camp, which had no electricity or refrigeration of any type. The Iguana were on the ground with their legs were tied behind their back. I asked our caretaker if the meat would spoil if it wasn’t cooked that day. She laughed and informed me that they Iguana were very much alive and would keep for days. The kids heard that and next thing I knew the Iguana were set free. I can honestly say I was not disappointed.
With that diversion aside, this guy was changing positions in the snag at Green Cay and gave me this interesting pose in the strong morning light. (Green Iguana with a most creative scientific name: Iguana iguana) (Sony a1, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/1600 second, ISO 640)
