When I saw the report that the Leucistic Bald Eagle made an appearance in the morning I knew I had to take my chances at this super rare raptor. I left at 4a.m. and drove two hours South. I had to wait for the sun to rise, but found him immediately crunching bones from a fish he was holding down on the mudflats. Shortly after he perched just above us next to the walking trail. Still no light but extremely close. He was very calm as he did not flinch when a jogger came by. He flew to this Eucalyptus several times and perched calmly for several minutes. The light was starting to filter through the leaves in the background as this majestic beauty posed for us. It was a very awe inspiring experience I will never forget. We had a solid two hours to photograph him that morning. He eventually flew off into the distance and we were admiring and reflecting on this one of a kind beauty.

The Ilyushin Il-78 (Russian: Илью́шин Ил-78; NATO reporting name Midas) is a Soviet/Russian four-engined aerial refueling tanker based on the Il-76 strategic airlifter.
shot these without realizing they're my new nemesis and my old best friend. love grapes, especially as wine and homemade grape jelly, but they're toxic to dogs (sorry, more dog stuff). those the birds haven't eaten are now all over the ground. hound boy doesn't miss a thing.
For the non-Australian's the Royal Commission investigating the Federal Robodebt Scheme handed down it's final, damning report. The report covers the politicians, public servants and architects of the automated debt collection scheme that was fundamentally illegal and mathematically flawed. It targeted approx 500,000 of the nations poorest people. Finally there is hope of justice with a sealed section being sent to the newly commissioned National Anti-Corruption Commission. If you want to read how ideology got in the way of good public policy see here: robodebt.royalcommission.gov.au/system/files/2023-07/repo.... Here's hoping politicians on all sides take heed. As to truth in politics, I'm still being disappointed by much of the debates on a whole range of important topics.
Tagged male. Semiahmoo. If you look at the duck second from left you can see a geo-tag sticking out from his right wing. I reported this and I received a report that it was tagged near White Rock, British Columbia.
Beautiful world
Temperature just around zero degrees Celcius.
Hair ice (also known as ice wool or frost beard) is a type of ice that forms on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair. It is somewhat uncommon, and has been reported mostly at latitudes between 45 and 55°N in broadleaf forests. The meteorologist and discoverer of continental drift, Alfred Wegener, described hair ice on wet dead wood in 1918, assuming some specific fungi as the catalyst, a theory mostly confirmed by Gerhart Wagner and Christian Mätzler in 2005. In 2015, the fungus Exidiopsis effusa was identified as key to the formation of hair ice.
Formation
Hair ice forms on moist, rotting wood from broadleaf trees when temperatures are slightly under 0 °C (32 °F) and the air is humid. Each of the smooth, silky hairs has a diameter of about 0.02 mm and a length of up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in). The hairs are brittle, but take the shape of curls and waves. They can maintain their shape for hours and sometimes days. This long lifetime indicates that something is preventing the small ice crystals from recrystallizing into larger ones, since recrystallization normally occurs very quickly at temperatures near 0 °C.
The hairs appear to root at the mouth of wood rays (never on the bark), and their thickness is similar to the diameter of the wood ray channels. A piece of wood that produces hair ice once may continue to produce it over several years.
In 2015, German and Swiss scientists identified the fungus Exidiopsis effusa as key to the formation of hair ice. The fungus was found on every hair ice sample examined by the researchers, and disabling the fungus with fungicide or hot water prevented hair ice formation.[1] The fungus shapes the ice into fine hairs through an uncertain mechanism and likely stabilizes it by providing a recrystallization inhibitor similar to antifreeze proteins.

Cheveux de glace
Les cheveux de glace, ou chevelure de glace, sont le phénomène d'apparition de glace sous forme de filaments très fins, par temps de gel, à partir de morceaux de bois mort ou d'autre végétaux. Le phénomène est comparable mais distinct des pipkrakes, issues du sol et plus grossières. Les cheveux de glace sont différents du givre par leur apparence comme par leur formation.
Formation
La formation des cheveux de glace se produit dans des conditions météorologiques particulières : par gel modéré et lorsque le sol, très humide, n'est pas encore gelé. Le phénomène est rare et s'observe plutôt dans les sites ombragés et tôt le matin.
Les cheveux de glace apparaissent sur des végétaux particuliers, comme le bois mort de hêtre ou de chêne. Leur observation donne à penser que l'eau contenue dans le bois est expulsée à travers les pores du bois par son expansion à l'approche du point de congélation, et gèle sous forme de fils très fin au contact de l'air. Le mécanisme pourrait néanmoins être plus complexe et être lié à la présence de champignons sur ces bois en décomposition; en 2015, le champignon Exidiopsis effusa (en) a été identifié comme essentiel à ce mécanisme. La poussée de ces fils de glace peut avoir une force suffisante pour repousser l'écorce d'un bois mort. La formation est très fragile, elle se détruit au toucher ou au souffle et disparait naturellement par fonte ou sublimation si elle est exposée au soleil.
Historique
En 1918 Alfred Wegener évoque que le mycélium sur le bois en décomposition contribue au phénomène. En 2014, Christian Mäztler, physicien de l’université de Berne associé à Diana Hofmann, chimiste et Gisela Preuss, biologiste ont élucidé le mystère de leur formation.

Haareis, manchmal auch Eiswolle genannt, besteht aus feinen Eisnadeln, die sich bei geeigneten Bedingungen auf morschem und feuchtem Totholz bilden können. Anders als Hydrometeore (zum Beispiel Raureifkristalle) entsteht Haareis aus dem im Holz enthaltenen Wasser, nicht aus Luftfeuchtigkeit.
Ähnlich aussehende und häufig nicht genau unterschiedene Phänomene sind Bandeis (engl. ice ribbons, ice flowers) an Pflanzenstängeln und Kammeis (engl. needle ice) am Boden, die beide jedoch anders gebildet werden.
Entstehung
Wissenschaftlich ist die Entstehung des nur selten zu beobachtenden Haareises noch wenig erforscht. 1918 beschrieb der Meteorologe Alfred Wegener Haareis auf nassem Totholz. Er vermutete einen „schimmelartigen Pilz“ als Auslöser, was jedoch von anderen Wissenschaftlern angezweifelt wurde, die rein physikalische Prozesse wie bei der Entstehung von Kammeis als Ursache annahmen.
Eine biophysikalische Studie von Gerhart Wagner und Christian Mätzler bestätigte 2008 Wegeners Vermutung weitgehend. Demnach wird Haareis durch das Myzel winteraktiver Pilze (u. a. Schlauch- und Ständerpilze) ausgelöst, deren aerober Stoffwechsel (Dissimilation) Gase produziert, die das im Holz vorhandene leicht unterkühlte Wasser an die Oberfläche verdrängen. Dort gefriert es und wird durch nachdrängende, beim Austritt aus dem Holz ebenfalls gefrierende Flüssigkeit weitergeschoben. Dies geschieht ausschließlich bei Temperaturen knapp unter dem Gefrierpunkt, wenn das Wasser im Holz noch nicht gefroren ist, es an der geringfügig kälteren Umgebungsluft jedoch gefriert. Eine Randbedingung für die Haareisbildung ist außerdem hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit: Wenn die Luft nicht mit Wasserdampf gesättigt ist, sublimieren die feinen Eiskristalle kurz nach ihrer Bildung an der Holzoberfläche, so dass keine langen Haareiskristalle entstehen können. Eine Reproduktion von Haareis ist in Versuchen solange möglich, wie das Pilzmyzel im Holzkörper nicht abgetötet wird.

L'Hôpital Plaza has been abandoned for nearly two decades. Originally built as a seminary, it also served as a hospital during WW1 and WW2.
The secret is out, and the Canadian internet groups imploded after the release of five SD70ACU's painted to honor the Canadian and United States Armed Forces. Thanks to the team at CP for making this possible, as well as putting on a great ceremony at the Calgary headquarters on Remembrance Day 2019. The 5 meter barrier around the units was a nice touch, as every fan managed to get lots of sunny shots without having to use a people filter.
It's going to be interesting to shoot these units on the road, with the variations in dark and light paint each one will present challenges to the photographer, but its bette rthen dirty red!

Report from a photo trip to Lofoten -- 22
The eagle tour started at 9 a.m. in glorious weather from Svolvær (Lofoten) and went to the nearby fjords and islands (Trollfjord, specifically: Øyhellsundet), home to a larger population of white-tailed eagles. The eagles, which were still hungry in the morning, were readily persuaded by bait fishes to allow themselves to be observed at close range while catching their prey. Here is a picture of the approach to the prey.
I used the Nikon Z 9 with the 300mm f/4 and a teleconverter 1.4x. This combination is quite lightweight, which is an advantage when standing in the speedboat trying to keep the eagles in the viewfinder. It was a challenge for the autofocus because the light was still rather weak early in the morning (just before sunrise). Denoising was done with DXO-PhotoLab 6.
