This bird showed up again a few minutes ago and reminded me to post this photo. Previously I posted a video. Yakima County, Washington.
All dirty... Distinctive. Fairly small, plump, and short-tailed. Dark brown above with bold white spotting on underparts. Bill is slightly decurved. Disjunct range. Populations in Venezuelan tepuis and southeastern South America have bold white eyebrow; Andean birds lack this. Almost always found in the vicinity of forested streams, but tends to stay hidden, foraging on or near the ground. Uncommon. ebird.org/species/shtstr1

Near the summit of An Sgarsoch now, it is within sight. An Sgarsoch translates as 'The Place of the Sharp Rocks' and I guess this is why it is so named. With all the climbing we've done today my legs are starting to cramp, but one final push as it levels out and we're there ..
This Red-backed Shrike was photographed in the wild in the Kruger National Park.
(What is most interesting about this image, is that I used the 2x MIII converter on a R6. For the first time, I now am able to use that converted with confidence, as I always seemed to get not that sharp images on the DSLR's. I guess, for 1000mm, this turned out acceptably sharp.)
Red Kite at Argaty. Was tracking this one up high when it decided to land sharply. Settings a bit out hence the grainy background.
Under muddled skies, a pair of sharp CSX EMDs lead L423-19 onto double track at SW Cabin with a healthy train of Lima traffic for Cincinnati.

We drove along the California coast on the iconic Highway 1 and stopped at the Bixby Bridge. A cloudy day makes for a more dramatic scene, what do you think?
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures each, merged them, made the shadows a touch warmer, and the highlights a bit colder, then carefully and selectively pulled the curves. I also sharpened the image a bit, it is not totally sharp due to camera shake.

A small owl species known for its plump body, large round head, and striking yellow eyes. It's widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and northern Africa, inhabiting open countryside, farmlands, orchards, woodlands, and even urban areas. Its found only in the higher Himalayan ranges of India in the northern most states.
Little owls have greyish-brown plumage with white spots and streaks, providing excellent camouflage in their surroundings. They are mainly nocturnal but are often seen perched prominently during the day. We sighted 3 -4 of them in our Ladakh trip - all of them early in the morning or late evenings.
These owls are carnivorous and primarily feed on insects, earthworms, small mammals like Voles, Pika, birds, and reptiles. They typically hunt from a perch, swooping down to catch their prey with sharp talons or their beak. They are monogamous and nest in cavities, such as holes in trees, cliffs, buildings, or even abandoned rabbit burrows. We sighted a parent with a vole kill in our trip. The Vole was pretty big for the owl, but would probably be sufficient for its 3 chicks that are nearing fledgling state.
Many thanks in advance for the feedback / faves and likes. Very much appreciated.

Actually, these 'buttons' are organ mixture stops. These stops give to each organ note simultaneously the notes of the major chord, in other words the major third and perfect fifth. Some say that arguably, in some cases these stops result in harmonic congestion as they are largely a result of medieval ignorance and their search for loudness in a world without electricity to drive power amplifiers. Organs were at one time talked of as 'instruments of power', as mixtures were used to achieve a balance of harmony and acoustic power resulting in loudness across an audio spectrum, something that played a significant part in medieval power politics.
