My neighbor watched Rusty for me for a few hours today and sent me this picture of him having a little snooze on their couch. Rusty is still recovering from a gastrointestinal issue, and I’m really hoping the meds he received a few days ago are helping.
Explored July 6th 2011
While in the front yard watering on this day, I noticed activity of a Dragonfly that was flying about. I sat and watched it for a few minutes, till it came to rest close to me and was able to get some wonderful images of this Dragonfly "At Rest".

搞不好過幾年就找不到此種害羞又會躲藏的鳥類了.
(Info from All about birds )
The California Thrasher is found only in California and Baja California. It is the only species of Toxostoma throughout most of its limited range. Like most thrashers, it rarely flies in the open, preferring to keep hidden in dense brush. Therefore, while it is common throughout much of its range, it is rarely seen.
This species is on the 2014 State of the Birds Watch List, which lists species most in danger of extinction without significant conservation action. Though common in some areas, loss of habitat to clearing, urban and suburban development, and agriculture constitute serious threats to populations.
这个物种被放在在 "2014的鸟類觀察名单"中, 只要列名在其中的物种就是身處滅绝的危险，但還不需展開立即的保護行動的鳥類. 牠常見的棲息地因城市和郊區的發展而喪失, 同時現今農業的組成方式也對這種鳥類造成極嚴重的威脅.
This darter loved this plant at the edge of the pond and kept coming back. So I just sat there snapping away.
Even an energetic and busy girl like Daisy needs to rest once in a while.

A walk around my neighbourhood.
Spring time in the City, Christchurch September 26, 2015 New Zealand.
It was just another day watching the Osprey...little did I know what was to unfold.
Two of the chicks started with allot of flapping and the one chick went out of the nest backwards and dropped, easy to see that it wasn't a intentional fledge.It then found it's wings and made a low circle around the nest area and came to rest on the road.
Since you won't often see an Osprey on the ground I was clicking away like crazy...then noticed that it appeared to have an injured foot. Immediate thought was it needed help. The bird then took to flight and made an attempt to return to the nest but ended up on the ground again...at this point I grabbed up the bird and put it in a box that was supplied by a resident near by.
With bird in box it was about to start it's trip to Wildlife Haven by way of Gimli Conservation and later Jim Duncan.
Closer inspection showed that the chick had gotten rapped up in fishing most likely brought in by the adults and the line was cutting of circulation on the foot.
Under the care of the folks at Wildlife Haven for a couple days they determined that the foot was to far gone and the bird had to be euthanized. I/we where all hopeful for a full recovery so the chick could be released back into the wild...sad but these things happen in the wild.
Operation Nest Clean-up is now underway to clear out the debris from this site...thanks to all those that will be involved.
