Another post on how certain land formations got their name. The Navajo Indians thought that rainbows were the guardians of the universe and they held this rock formation to be sacred because of it. Prior to the creation of Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge was one of the most remote destinations to visit. Even now, there are two ways to reach it - a two-hour boat ride from Page or a 14-mile hike through Navajo land (a permit is required).
The bridge itself is made of sandstone and is thought to be the world's highest natural bridge. It was formed over thousands of years when the area was alternately a sea and desert. This produced layers of sandstone with different levels of hardness and compressed them so tightly as to withstand time.

I got around to switching Tako’s body to the Scaris deuce body because of the decent hip joints. This required removing his tentacles from his old body but it gave me the chance to stuff them with wire so he has a bit of poseability to wrap his tentacles around his boo.
Good thing I got my shot when I did. As the train arrived an employee got off the train and asked me for my permit. "Permit?", I said. He explained to me that I needed a permit from CTA in order to have my camera and tripod on the platform. "Oh ok... I'm from Ohio..." As I left the platform area another employee asked me what company I was with. I figured playing dumb was the best way to be. Seems like a lot of trouble to go through just for a shot or two. Having the shot I wanted I didn't stand around to debate the public place angle.

No baseballs were harmed —or staged— during the shoot, but the phrase, "The final out," seems appropriate. The baseball field was razed only a few months later, in early 2024, to be replaced with a running track and fieldhouse.

Well that was the romantic view of pioneer aviation, but just imagine having to fight for your life in one of these contraptions. They really were pioneers. After all the Wright Brothers made their first flight in 1903 just eleven years before the Great War commenced.

I received a flurry of emails asking questions about SWFEC late last night, February 8, 2023. In an effect to address most of them I have put together a question and answer Flickr page. Please be sure to read the description below the photo find the information. I hope the information will answer most of the questions. Thank you.
Will the eaglets be banded?
There was a question concerning banding the eaglets at SWFEC. Unless the eaglets have to be removed from the nest for some reason, we don’t believe there is any plan to band them in the nest. Banding requires a permitted licensed bander to place the bands and at this time there are no research projects that we know of that are banding.
Even wildlife facilities have to have someone in their organization certified to band birds - or have to know someone who is certified out of their organization who can band the bird for them.
Eaglets have to be a certain age in order to be banded. Too young, the band will slip off. The eaglets at SWFEC are of an age where they could be banded if they are removed from the nest.
Do eagles get hoarse?
There was an interesting question asked that related to M15’s voice. People have thought that M15’s voice might be hoarse. from all of the vocalizing to warn intruders away and calling for his mate.
Eagles don’t have vocal cords and the sound is produced in the syrinx, which is a bony chamber located in the trachea which divides to go to the lungs. The bird’s syrinx has membranes in its outer walls that vibrate when the bird vocalizes. Birds can vibrate those syringeal membranes both when they breathe in and when they breathe out.
The syrinx in birds is similar in function to our larynx, or voice box, but very different in structure. Our larynx is located just downstream from our throat at the top of our trachea (wind pipe), whereas the bird’s syrinx is located at the bottom of the trachea, where it splits into two branches, the bronchi, each branch going to one of the bird’s two lungs.
While it might be possible for a bird’s sound to alter with overuse, it is usually caused by inflammation or infection (bacterial or fungal). Please note that we don’t think either are a concern. M15 has always had a different vocal than Harriet - much more raspy in my opinion. Maybe he has been louder so we are able to hear it better?
What is Harriet’s Age?
One of the questions we are asked frequently is how old the adult eagles are. We can only go by what we know as confirmed when making an estimate of Harriet’s age. None of the adults have been banded, so there is no way of knowing when the eagles hatched - including Harriet’s first mate, Ozzie. We have a better idea of the age of M15 since his plumage and eye color were that of a newly mature eagle (5 years of age).
Based on local viewers and the property owners, the Pritchetts, who have watched the pair nesting on the Pritchetts’ property over the years, Harriet is at least 22 years of age. She has been seen nesting at this nest since 2006. We take the number of years she has been nesting at this nest and add five years since it takes approximately five years before an eagle is mature and ready to raise a family. (17 years at SWFEC nest + 5 years = 22 years)
However, there was a nest across the street that locals said she and her previous mate, Ozzie, nested and raised young. If she is the same female that nested across the street she could be in her late 20s or even 30s. But we have no hard evidence to make that determination.
The information on the nest across the street (and Bald Eagle nests across Florida) was documented by Audubon Florida’s EagleWatch program. There are no records that we know of with FWC stating it was Harriet in the other nest. None of the eagles that nested in this particular nest across the street from the Pritchetts’ property have been banded.
With as many eagles in Florida there were most likely locals observing that nest long before it failed. IF photographers had good equipment there may be photos of the eagles nesting in that location that may have IDing marks, but we are not aware of them, nor have we seen them. Without definitive proof there is no way of knowing if the same eagles nested in that location for a period of years.
We don’t want to post any information that we can’t substantiate - which is why her age is stated the way it is. We know Harriet has to be at least 22 years old, but she is most likely older - we just don’t know how old. Eagles have been known to raise young in the late 30s, so it is possible she is that old. The oldest known wild eagle died at the age of 38. However, the only reason this is known is because that eagle had been banded - most are not banded.
Regarding the nest near Donald Street - interestingly enough the present nest (SWFEC) is now listed as LE026 (it used to be LE-26B). The nest that was located near Donald Street had been listed as LE-26A and the present nest was LE-26B. Now the nest in west pasture is listed as LE026a and the present nest is listed as LEO26.
Since the nest tree that did house LE-26A is no longer standing, there is no reference to it on the Bald Eagle nest Locator map (the Audubon recently changed/updated their nest locator site).
This is the information that had been listed about the previous nest before the site was updated. Previous Nest History by Year (LE-26A Strap Number: 30-43-25-04-00005.0000 - was located across the street):
90-91 Active, 2 Fledglings confirmed
91-92 Active, 1 Fledgling confirmed

03-04 Tree observed dead 9/29/03. ES Staff inspected the tree on 9/29/03 and found the tree had been girdled by machete or hatchet. Birds had been observed in the territory but did not nest this nesting season.

05-06 Active, 1 fledgling confirmed
06-07 Inactive *Built a new nest north of Bayshore Rd (LEO26B). 2 chicks fledged at LEO26B
07-08 through 11-12 Inactive
Please remember that the observations before 2012 are from ground observations only. Members of Audubon Florida’s EagleWatch usually check nests periodically and try to maintain proper distances and make available blinds to prevent disturbance of an active Bald Eagle nest.
I would also like to post the exact quote from Dr. Heather Barron concerning Ozzie’s possible age: Quote from Dr. Heather Barron: “For age, I said 20s to 30s to them because eagles get their adult plumage and usually start mating around 5-7 years of age. So, if people have reported him in the area for 20 years, then he was at least 5, possibly older when he showed up, which could mean he is closer to 30. Either way, the average lifespan is 15-20 years, so he certainly was better than average.
Searching for Harriet.
There is concern as to what search parties have been organized to locate Harriet. We can only share what we know. The Pritchetts searched their own extended property the first weekend after Harriet flew off. We also know a few locals who have checked certain areas where Harriet has been known to frequent - with permission from any property owner. Always get permission from the property owner when undertaking any search.
There were reports of downed eagles; those areas were checked with no findings. We understand a number of local people have also conducted searches, but we have no information on where they searched.
Please remember - this is Florida. There are many areas of Florida with thick, rough vegetation which is hard to maneuver through. There are also wildlife that live in these areas; including snakes, rats, alligators, bobcats and coyote. Extreme caution should be used when undertaking any search in these areas.
Who named Ozzie and Harriet?
Another question that is asked frequently is how did “Harriet” and her first mate, “Ozzie” get their names. We asked the Pritchetts this question when the camera first came online. Their answer was the eagles were named by some local bird enthusiasts who followed the pair from the beginning. Since they were already known by the locals as “Ozzie” and “Harriet” the Pritchetts continued use those names when the cameras began streaming online.
Apparently there is still some confusion over who “named” the eagles. We asked the Pritchetts again to make sure we were sharing the correct information. From the Pritchetts: “We did not coin their names. The initial group of watchers did; way before we started even thinking about the cameras. They told us the names whenever we stopped by to talk to them and it stuck.”
Would another female raise the young at this time?
There was a question as to whether another female might be accepted by M15 at this time and help raise the eaglets. This is a question that we really can’t answer. It is totally up to M15 as to whether he might be willing to allow another eagle in the nest. And it is also totally up to a female Bald Eagle as to whether they would be interested in helping to raise young that were not hers.
There are many rogue eagles in Florida right now - especially in the areas where Hurricane Ian caused loss of habitat and nests. Each year we have observed a number of visitors/intruders in the territory, but this year there have been a greater number. Both Harriet and M15 have spent quite a bit of time warning intruders away - even giving chase.
Someone wanted to know why Harriet left. The day Harriet left the nest tree she had been vocalizing quite a bit and checking the skies. It was thought she may have left to give chase, but this is speculation on my part as to her actions. We have no idea what happened once she was out of view of the cameras. But it did appear she took flight away from the nest tree due to a perceived threat.
In nature, we can never say never. While cameras on a number of nests have given biologists more insight on what happens during breeding times, it doesn’t mean what was seen at one nest could happen at another nest. It is highly unlikely that M15 and another female would bond enough to raise E21 and E22 together at this time. Bonding is an important part of choosing a mate. Harriet didn’t accept M15 until closer to breeding season. However, that doesn’t mean it might not happen. We all wait to see how this season plays out and wish M15 continued success as he cares for his two young eaglets.

I've never seen a rig for speedlights like this thing. I would expect it to generate some seriously harsh light. They should have walked down the beach further -- there was almost no one around and they could have had very few interruptions. Of course, it would require them to walk a bit...
" Mute Swans...The male and the female birds, the cob and pen, usually attempt to mate for life, although it is not true to say that if one of the birds were to die the other would necessarily pine away...It is possible for an adult bird to find an alternative mate..."
The female lays up to seven eggs between late April and early May. Both sexes incubate the eggs, which hatch after 35-41 days...The young birds, or cygnets, sometimes ride on their parents' backs and remain with the adult birds for four or five months...Cygnets are generally dingy brown above and whitish below..."

The Golden Spectral of Leadership
Leaders require their followers to possess three essential qualities: competence, reliability, and moral goodness. Those who fail to demonstrate these traits cannot gain their leaders' trust. However, when followers exhibit these qualities, they establish a foundation of trust that enables their leaders to pursue ambitious goals, make dreams a reality, and inspire others.

The small seaside resort of Ballybunion, Kerry, has two beaches, divided by the Castle Green. The Ladies Beach is to the left and the Mens Beach to the right – names were given in a bygone age when both sexes were required to bathe on separate beaches on the orders of the local parish priest, who walked it daily ensuring the rule wasn't broken.
Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña - Escocia - Glasgow - Necrópolis
ENGLISH
The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland. It is on a low but very prominent hill to the east of Glasgow Cathedral (St. Mungo's Cathedral). Fifty thousand individuals have been buried here. Typically for the period only a small percentage are named on monuments and not every grave has a stone. Approximately 3500 monuments exist here.
Following the creation of Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris a wave of pressure began for cemeteries in Britain. This required a change in the law to allow burial for profit. Previously the parish church held responsibility for burying the dead but there was a growing need to give an alternative solution. Glasgow was one of the first to join this campaign, having a growing population, with fewer and fewer attending church. The planning of the cemetery began formally by the Merchants' House of Glasgow in 1831, in anticipation of a change in the law. The Cemeteries Act was passed in 1832 and the floodgates opened. Glasgow Necropolis officially opened in April 1833. Just prior to this, in September 1832 a Jewish burial ground had been established in the north-west section of the land. This small area was declared "full" in 1851.
Predating the cemetery, the statue of John Knox sitting on a column at the top of the hill, dates from 1825.
Alexander Thomson designed a number of its tombs, and John Bryce and David Hamilton designed other architecture for the grounds.
The main entrance is approached by a bridge over what was then the Molendinar Burn. The bridge, which was designed by David Hamilton was completed in 1836. It became known as the "Bridge of Sighs" because it was part of the route of funeral processions (the name is an allusion to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice). The ornate gates (by both David and James Hamilton) were erected in 1838, restricting access onto the bridge.
Three modern memorials lie between the gates and the bridge: a memorial to still-born children; a memorial to the Korean War; and a memorial to Glaswegian recipients of the Victoria Cross.
Across the bridge the original scheme was to enter the area via a tunnel but this proved unviable. The ornate entrance of 1836 remains.
The cemetery, as most early Victorian cemeteries, is laid out as an informal park, lacking the formal grid layouts of later cemeteries. This layout is further enhanced by the complex topography. The cemetery's paths meander uphill towards the summit, where many of the larger monuments stand, clustered around the John Knox Monument.
The Glasgow Necropolis was described by James Stevens Curl as "literally a city of the dead". Glasgow native Billy Connolly has said: "Glasgow's a bit like Nashville, Tennessee: it doesn't care much for the living, but it really looks after the dead."

ESPAÑOL
La Necrópolis de Glasgow (en inglés: Glasgow Necropolis) es un cementerio victoriano de Glasgow, Escocia, Reino Unido. Está en una colina baja, pero muy importante, en el este de la Catedral de Glasgow (Catedral de San Mungo). Cincuenta mil personas han sido enterradas aquí. Típicamente, para el período sólo un pequeño porcentaje fue nombrado en los monumentos y no todas las tumbas tienen una lápida. Hay aproximadamente 3.500 monumentos.
La planificación del cementerio comenzó formalmente por la Cámara de Glasgow de Comerciantes en 1831, a la espera de un cambio en la ley. La Ley de Cementerios se aprobó en 1832 lo que permitió su apertura. La necrópolis se inauguró oficialmente en abril de 1833. Justo antes de esto, en septiembre 1832 un cementerio judío se había establecido en la sección noroeste de la tierra. Esta pequeña área fue declarada "completa" en 1851.
La Necrópolis de Glasgow está en una tierra llamada ‘The Craigs’ la cual fue comprada por la Casa de los Comerciantes de Glasgow en 1650 y se convirtió en un parque público durante casi 200 años. El concepto de un cementerio jardín se basó en el Cementerio Pere laChaise después de que un miembro de la Casa de los Comerciantes hubiera visitado a París. La Necrópolis fue abierta oficialmente en 1833. Este cementerio fue creado con la intención de ser multi-religioso y el primer entierro en 1832 fue el de un judío, Joseph Levi, joyero, que murió de disentería y fue enterrado en el recinto de los judíos. En 1833 el primer entierro cristiano fue el de Elizabeth Miles, madrastra del superintendente George Mylne. Después de 1860, las primeras extensiones este y sur fueron hechas encima de la Pedrera de Ladywell y en 1877 y 1892/3 fueron construidas las extensiones finales al norte y al sureste, casi doblando el área del cementerio. La Necrópolis ahora tiene 37 acres (15 has).
Tuvieron lugar 50.000 entierros en la Necrópolis con 3.500 monumentos, lo que parecen ser espacios verdes abiertos en varias zonas de las tierras son de hecho sepulcros no marcados. En 1877 el río Molendinar, que corría debajo del Puente de Sighs, era subterrá- neo. Este río pequeño fue en el que se dijo que St. Mungo pescaba salmones y que ahora es subterráneo en dirección a Clyde.
La Necrópolis fue uno de los pocos cementerios en guardar los expedientes de los muertos, incluyendo la profesión, la edad, el sexo y la causa de la muerte. En julio de 1878 el libro de visitantes mostró que 13.733 personas visitaron la Necrópolis de Glasgow - 12.400 ciudadanos y 1.333 otros visitantes. En 1966, la Casa de los Comerciantes donó £50,000 y la Necrópolis al Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de Glasgow es el que ahora la administra y mantiene. Se han quitado los bancos y las divisiones de los sepulcros y la mayor parte del área ha sido plantada de césped como medida de mantenimiento.
Hay aquí monumentos diseñados por los principales arquitectos y escultores de la época, incluyendo Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson, Charles Rennie Mackintosh y JT Rochead, uno de cada estilo arquitectónico, dichos monumentos no sólo eran creados para los empresarios y ricos prominentes de la designada ‘segunda ciudad del imperio' sino también erigidos por aportaciones públicas para algunos ciudadanos que no habrían podido de otra manera ser enterrados aquí.
La Necrópolis de Glasgow fue el primer cementerio jardín pero otros le siguieron incluyendo Sighthill en 1840, la Necrópolis meridional en 1840 y la Necrópolis del este en 1847. La comunidad católica abrió el St Mary’s Churchyard en Calton en 1839 y el cementerio de St Peter en Dalbeth en 1851.
El acto ‘Burial Grounds’ (Escocia) de 1855 condujo al cierre de la vieja iglesia y del cementerio. Los primeros de los nuevos cementerios en las cercanías de la ciudad fueron Craigton en 1873, Cathcart en 1878, Lambhill (85 acres) en 1881, la Necrópolis occidental en 1882 y St Kentigern en 1882 (noroeste de la ciudad).
El primer crematorio que se construyo en Escocia fue el Crematorio de Glasgow en las tierras de la Necrópolis occidental en 1895.

On an early Easter Monday bank holiday morning, I set off towards Bradgate Park under a biting wind, with my car showing just 4°C. Despite the cold, the land was clearly awakening with spring, quietly signaling renewal in every detail.
As I stepped into the park under the soft morning light, there was a rare stillness—no people, just nature beginning its day. Instead of the usual robin, I was greeted by a Eurasian chaffinch foraging on the ground. Around me, small birds were busily flying back and forth, carrying nesting materials in their beaks into tree hollows.
Continuing my walk, I noticed a group of fallow deer on my right. Among them, a young deer fixed its curious gaze on me, and I believe I captured that exact moment of connection in a single frame. Between us flowed the River Lin, its subtle elevation difference and fresh greenery adding depth to the scene.
As I observed the group, something remarkable caught my attention in the distance. Eurasian jackdaw were landing on the deer, pulling out loose fur and flying off to line their nests in ancient tree hollows. This interaction seemed less about parasite removal and more about building soft nesting material.
I waited patiently as the light shifted and the sun rose higher, creating a beautiful backlit background. Finally, the moment came—a female deer allowing a jackdaw to pull fur from her back. I captured this frame at ISO 4000 and 1/1250 sec.
It’s also worth noting that the deer are currently shedding their winter coats, which the jackdaws are clearly taking advantage of. Interestingly, not all deer tolerated this behavior—some females resisted, perhaps due to discomfort.
Nature’s balance and these subtle interactions continue to fascinate me, often leading me to reflect more deeply on the connections within the wild.
I hope this story adds another layer to the image and helps convey the moment beyond the frame.
Wishing you all a peaceful and joyful Easter Monday.
I've captured some unforgettable moments with my camera, and I hope you feel the same joy viewing these images as I did while shooting them.
