One of the things that I love about visiting Costa Rica during migration is the presence of lots of warblers. One of the most abundant species is the Chestnut-sided Warbler. It is always such a treat to see these little beauties and I was thrilled to catch one in its characteristic pose.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Setophaga pensylvanica
As our boat was returning to port a dolphin decided to put on a great show for us. This was a great way to start my vacation.
Another shot taken shortly after the previous upload. SY Class locomotive No 1225, standing next to diesel locomotive D4DD-0288, prepares to move off with a rake of empty coal wagons to the nearby colliery. Both locomotives are owned by the Wu Jiu Coal Group. Wu Jiu, Inner Mongolia, China. 21 February 2017.
It was landing on the top of a green stem and I thought why don't you just land on the daisy to make a more interesting photo?
And it did! Haha

The hooked, upturned bill is used to puncture the bases of flowers for the purpose of feeding on nectar. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

This is Groombridge Place again, but here you see a north-facing side door and a bridge over the moat that leads directly into the gardens. The manor house was rebuilt in 1662 and replaced an earlier manor that had origins in 1230. If you'd like to know more about its famous architect, please read under my photo 'A Crowd of White Daffodils'.
There are more photos of Groombridge Place in my album with the same name. [Explored on 1/3/2024, #207]

Side street in Amsterdam Netherlands. Indonesian restaurants are to be found in may places in Netherlands (and historically Dutch colonies) - a tie from the days of the Dutch Colonial Empire.
A short while after sunrise in the woods west of Kloempken Prairie and east of the Des Plaines River.
Have a nice week!
With the arrival of a new visitor to our yard, I just had to take numerous photos of this Rufous-sided Towhee. As luck would have it, he's seems to be sticking around.
