You know, rust is just oxidation.
The same chemical process as fire.
Oxygen interacts with steel,
electrons drift from one element to the other.
So really, rust is a slow fire. Isn't that weird?
Water causes something to burn.

A rusty segment on a parabolic catenary series of white-painted chains in rear carpark of a business on Kensington Road.
I had to change the title after my husband helpfully informed me that hanging chains are NOT upside down parabolas.

So, catenary is the root for concatenate, ie chaining together. I learned something today!
Rusty Blackbird has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22724329/180024662
Rusty Blackbird is a species that breeds in much of Canada, and in much of Alaska as well as the far northeastern USA. It is a late migrator in the fall on its way to wintering grounds in much of southeastern and central USA. Thus it not surprising that there was snow on the ground when this bird was seen in Carburn Park, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, on a late October day.
I was aware of a cocktail called a "Rusty Nail" but apparently there is also a "Rusty Screw" consisting of Cointreau, Frangelico, Drambuie, Jameson Whiskey and a twist of orange. I can see the twist of orange in this rusty butterfly screw.

Diglossa sittoides
(Rusty Flowerpiercer / Picaflor canela)
Nothing wrong with its bill. The hooked, upturned bill is used to puncture the bases of flowers for the purpose of feeding on nectar.
The Rusty Flowerpiercer is a small tanager of South American mountains. The species is found in forest, edge habitat, and gardens between 1500 and 3000 meters from the coastal mountains of Venezuela south along the Andes to northern Argentina. Total length, both sexes: 11 cm.

I normally only see Rusty Blackbirds during spring and fall migrations. This year was no exception. On the first coupe days of our October camping trip there were a number of these birds foraging on empty campsites around the campground. As more campers moved in, the birds moved on to forage elsewhere.
I captured this male in non-breeding plumage during my short time with them.

In keeping with posting some of my found trucks on Thursdays - here is another beauty I found.
I retire from full time work this week after 46 years and hope to get out and do more truck hunting and will mist likely start a HTT Group (Happy Truck Thursday!
