Great White Egret - Ardea Alba
The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures. Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss, particularly wetland degradation through drainage, grazing, clearing, burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and invasion by exotic plants. Nevertheless, the species adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas.
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.
On 22 May 2012, a pair of great egrets was announced to be nesting in the UK for the first time at the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset. The species is a rare visitor to the UK and Ben Aviss of the BBC stated that the news could mean the UK's first great egret colony is established. The following week, Kevin Anderson of Natural England confirmed a great egret chick had hatched, making it a new breeding bird record for the UK. In 2017, seven nests in Somerset fledged 17 young, and a second breeding site was announced at Holkham National Nature Reserve in Norfolk where a pair fledged three young.
In 2018, a pair of great egrets nested in Finland for the first time, raising four young in a grey heron colony in Porvoo.

Little Round Top is the smaller of two rocky hills south of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania—the companion to the adjacent, taller hill named Big Round Top. It was the site of an unsuccessful assault by Confederate troops against the Union left flank on July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Considered by some historians to be the key point in the Union Army's defensive line that day, Little Round Top was defended successfully by the brigade of Col. Strong Vincent. The 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commanded by Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, fought the most famous engagement there, culminating in a dramatic downhill bayonet charge that is one of the most well-known actions at Gettysburg and in the American Civil War.

Groynes reduce longshore transport by trapping beach material and causing the beach orientation to change relative to the dominant wave directions. They mainly influence bedload transport and are most effective on shingle or gravel beaches. Sand is carried in temporary suspension during higher energy wave or current conditions and will therefore tend to be carried over or around any cross-shore structures. Groynes can also be used successfully in estuaries to alter nearshore tidal flow patterns.
Yesterday I had a date with myself for dinner. With this indescribable beautiful view at mt. Lilienstein and the setting sun, it didn't need much to get a festally meal. Even the musical backdrop of an uncountable amount of different birds everywhere was a feast for the senses. And not as a sideline I had the opportunity to spend time with someone, thats really important to me. After all it was a very successful evening.
Gestern abend hatte ich eine Verabredung zum Abendessen, mit mir selbst. Mit diesem unbeschreiblich schönen Ausblick auf den Lilienstein und die untergehende Sonne brauchte es nicht viel um ein festliches Mal zu werden. Auch die musikalische Untermahlung von unzähligen verschiedenen Vögeln überall war ein Fest für die Sinne. Und nicht ganz nebenbei hatte ich die Gelegenheit Zeit mit jemandem zu verbringen, der mir sehr wichtig ist. In Summe ein sehr gelungener Abend.
I am not generally that successful at bird photography even when I have consciously gone out to see birds. This shot of the chaffinch was pure luck. Mary and I were on a walk recently I had taken a shot or two of some wild flowers . I spotted the bird and took a couple of shots without changing settings not really expecting anything reasonable. In fact I am quite pleased with this one I know it could be sharper but for a grab shot its not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
Hope you are all managing to cope in this strange New World we are living in . Of course I hope you and yours remain well and safe
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

Sasha and I found this scared and hungry fellow in the dumpster by North Point Marina. The dumpster was very big and he couldn't get out without help.
To find long piece of wood around the marina was almost impossible, so we ran to the woods next to the marina and found old big branch on the ground.
It was very heavy but my 9 year old didn't complain so I didn't :-).
The second we put the branch into the dumpster he came out. I didn't have a chance get my camera.
He looked at us for couple seconds and ran away.

PARENTS: You need money? NO. Here is money. You need a car? NO. We got you a car. You need a house? NO. Here are the keys. You want to be as successful as them? No. You have to SUCCEED. What do I need? Nobody cares.
Life is full of pressure. The pressure has crashed my life.

To be as successful as Johnathan Jefferson LaVeaux means to first have your true priorities straight. The priorities that all good citizens should use as their only guide post. THE HOLY TRINITY of PRIORITIES! Say it with me Kids!!! ONE...WORK, your J-O-B. TWO...YOUR CHURCH. And THREE...YOUR FAMILY. That's right. And the world's favorite man about the Planet is a shining example, a real man who holds these priorities faithfully. For that he has earned his success and he deserves our undying respect and admiration.
No man seems to work at his job more. Johnny's involvement with his Church has been the driving factor in taking them from a small local group to a HUGE International Movement...and all you have to do is look at the prosperity, the life style and the smiling faces of every member of Johnny's Family and extended Family to know how loving and attentive of a patriarch the man truly is. Yet somehow after all the time he gives, once in a great while he gets some Johnny time to do something for himself....
The Shock of the New
This is the continuing series of images entitled ‘Shock of the New’. I’m showing how Modern Architecture has embedded itself with the more Traditional Architectural styles. Some successful, some in my view not so. But we’re all different. You may like them. What It does tell you however, is that progress cannot be stopped. There are forces greater than you out there.
Hi Everyone!
A successful fishing trip and a little bit of jealousy! It turned out that the Pelicans on the left tried to grab the fish. During the scuffle, the fish was dropped into the water and immediately snatched up by a totally different pelican!
Image from my Spring 2017 archives.
I appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on this image, THANK YOU! Have a wonderful day today!

وش حيلة اللي صابته رمية الهديف
خويك صويب طايح تنزف طعونه
مما جرى لها يطلب النجد والتسعيف
عيونه تخونه لين ما باح مكنونه
صويب الغزال اللي رعى عالي التنيف
في مرتع عسر على اللي يرودونه
غرير حسين الوصف ومكمل التوصيف
نذير يصون العرض واهله يدارونه
تبعد يميل الصيد شم الهوى طريف
وارموا مكانه وين كانوا يحيدونه
لو كان رماي ٍ على شارته هديف
على الشلش ولا تركد على هونه

Red-necked Grebe; a rare bird this far south. Because of the dark lines on its cheeks, this is likely a first year bird.
The hot air balloon is the first successful human-carrying flight technology. The first untethered manned hot air balloon flight was performed by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes on November 21, 1783, in Paris, France,[1] in a balloon created by the Montgolfier brothers.[2] The first hot-air balloon flown in the United States was launched from the Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia on January 9, 1793 by the French aeronaut Jean Pierre Blanchard.[3] Hot air balloons that can be propelled through the air rather than simply drifting with the wind are known as thermal airships.
"...Among the most clever of these cactus spine-dodgers is the desert cactus wren, which can perch upon the branches or dive into a tree of the awful Bigelow's cholla with perfect impunity. In fact, the cactus wren finds the company of cactuses so congenial that she not only spends a great deal of her time foraging for insects among their branches, but chooses to rear her family in a nest embraced and fortified by their needles. I doubt if there is a member of the wren family that better provides for the protection of her home.
Those who are used to associating the word "wren" with the tiny, sprightly, and vivacious bird of the Eastern States, with its happy, jocund, and joyous song, will find it hard to see how the cactus wren can be called a wren at all, for he is such a different fellow from the bird of their acquaintance. On the whole he is rather a coarse-looking bird with no prepossessing characters as to either form or color. Comparatively, he is rather a good-sized bird, having a length of eight inches from bill to tail-tip. The general color-tone is brownish gray with whitish under-parts prominently speckled with round and linear black spots, especially on the throat and fore part of the breast. The bill, like that of the rock wrens, is slightly bent. The song is an odd one and hardly musical, consisting generally of only a coarse prolonged clatter or low "chut-chut-chut." It is especially noticeable in the spring during the nesting season. The males are then unusually quarrelsome, hot-tempered, irascible fellows, pursuing one another in flight over long distances, scolding and giving vent to their peppery tempers and jealousies in shrill, angry, jaylike notes of warning."
