I'll show you I am capable of causing such pain
With my delicate and fragile lady brain
I will not let you get away
I'd rather burn at the stake

A new blog on my website. Sprocket Rocket snapshots, musings and a little guitar picking. This is the first posting of an ongoing effort of riding the Sprocket Rocket in search of Americana.
Trying to escape the heat, I took a half hour drive up into the hills to a year round recreation area. Full of trails but otherwise undeveloped, it's a lovely area of near wilderness.
In the winter it has snowshoeing and cross-country trails. In the summer there are hiking and biking trails. And, yes, it seemed cooler there.
House Wren very noisily staking his territorial claim around the nesting box. Both my small bird nesting boxes are now occupied by house wrens who very aggressively defend them.
Unfortunately, since the arrival of the house wrens chasing other small birds away from the nesting boxes, species such as chickadees, tufted titmouse and even carolina wrens seem to be visiting my yard, in Chester County, PA, much less frequently.

Not quite sure what this was the remains of, but presumably something to do with the mining in the area.
This Gannet was staking a claim to this prime nesting location at Bempton Cliffs earlier today. It left occasionally to collect nesting material but in it's absence other Gannets would help themselves to the materials it had already collected!
Under it's left wing you can just make out some blue plastic material. Plastic will, sadly, continue to make up a considerable part of the nests of sea birds unless and until we get a grip of this man-made crisis.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
This colorful Wood Duck comes only so close to the shore. If they see you staking them, off they go.
Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.
A cryptically-colored ground-dweller without the bright colors and bold head patterns boasted by many of its relatives. Mottled brown overall with a grayish-white face and a speckled orange throat. Forages in dense undergrowth like other partridges, usually in mature foothill and lowland forest. Listen for its song, a series of ascending breathy whistles which culminate in an echoing series of ringing notes. As with many other forest gamebirds, very difficult to see in general; most likely encountered at staked-out blinds, or, if one is lucky, walking quietly along roadsides and clearings at dusk and dawn.

-----------------
Two pairs of this lovely little partridge came out of the forest to share the food and water provided by the hide. They wandered around among the other birds and animals enjoying the safety of this early morning breakfast buffet. Wonderful to see them. We did hear one other, a few days later, at a different park.

Teddy is all about forbidden spaces. We keep him out of bedrooms as he tends to be a little thief, but he never misses an opportunity when presented. We’ve been redecorating a small bedroom and there is absolutely nothing in it of interest to Teddy. But this morning I opened the door for just a second - and got this….Looking seriously pleased with himself. He posed all over the room
We met some friends at Port Kembla Pool for a swim. Port Kembla Pool is a sea water filled pool, but is tiled and enclosed from the elements. After our swim, we adjourned to a table overlooking the beach and had coffee and an egg and bacon roll for breakfast. It was still early but were surprised by the number of people staking their claim to a section of the beach. I suspect they were going to make a full day of it.
A stake with coloured tape at the front of an empty block that is ready for construction. The stake marks the front edge of the property.
On its left and slightly behind is a bus shelter, complete with advertising. In the distance, to the right of the stake, is a traffic light showing amber, with a red do-not-walk pedestrian light. The red monolith is an Australia Post postbox.
Oh my! Looks like he switched to Canon!
He seemed to like it, looked like he still had it staked out when we came back by hours later.

I've been away as my little town was evacuated due to wildfires - just got back - strange experience.
A firefighters prayer and motto goes like “when I am called to duty, god wherever flames may rage, give me the strength to save a life, whatever be its age.”
I caught this Blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) foraging under the yard's hydrangea bush. The jays are always the most vocal when they are staking out their claim to any backyard features. Their colors are always so cheerful.
I'm assuming these wooden stakes have put on the beach at Holme-by-Sea in Norfolk to stop erosion of the beach.
