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.

Gerenuks are built to stretch high when they are on their hind legs which is why their necks and legs are so long.

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.

Every photograph in order to be successful should convey a message to its viewer ... A message sometimes subtle and vague, while others strong and profound.
A frame with a latent underlying message is what we have here ... A photo that consists of two mutually contradictory both physically and symbolically elements that are nevertheless "condemned" by an act of fate to a harmonic, pleasant to the eye and not likely to easily come across elsewhere symbiosis ...
A stony, tiny in size underground blockhouse still stands in one piece against all odds .. A second world war remnant that still holds its "proud" figure intact ... This symbol that reminds us of man's insatiable, hostile and aggressive nature is being "attacked" this time by a fully blossomed almond tree that "decided" to become its long-term partner in life ...
A scene that bears a strong anti-war message, a truly optimistic scene .... Devoted to all of you who are fed up with the unbelievable ugliness that lurks around our lives lately ...

Little Egret - Egretta garzetta
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a species of small heron in the family Ardeidae. The genus name comes from the Provençal French Aigrette, egret a diminutive of Aigron, heron. The species epithet garzetta is from the Italian name for this bird, garzetta or sgarzetta.
It is a white bird with a slender black beak, long black legs and, in the western race, yellow feet. As an aquatic bird, it feeds in shallow water and on land, consuming a variety of small creatures. It breeds colonially, often with other species of water birds, making a platform nest of sticks in a tree, bush or reed bed. A clutch of bluish-green eggs is laid and incubated by both parents. The young fledge at about six weeks of age.
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. A successful colonist, its range has gradually expanded north, with stable and self-sustaining populations now present in the United Kingdom.
It first appeared in the UK in significant numbers in 1989 and first bred in Dorset in 1996
In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia to over-winter there. The birds may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, and their tendency to disperse may have assisted in the recent expansion of the bird's range. At one time common in Western Europe, it was hunted extensively in the 19th century to provide plumes for the decoration of hats and became locally extinct in northwestern Europe and scarce in the south. Around 1950, conservation laws were introduced in southern Europe to protect the species and their numbers began to increase. By the beginning of the 21st century the bird was breeding again in France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain. It has also begun to colonise the New World; it was first seen in Barbados in 1954 and first bred there in 1994. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed the bird's global conservation status as being of least concern..
the less successful the pictures turn out to be :-)

Stonechat (juvenile)
0955.01.08.2023
The stonechats that I have photographed had two broods. This full frame image is one from the second brood. The bird is trying to maintain purchase on the bramble perch because of the wind. There were 4 successful fledglings for the first brood and 3 for the second. As far as I can make out there were 4 other territories along the 1000m long hillside which resulted in failure or abandonment.
Having successfully traversed the spiral tunnels and the Kicking Horse Pass, CP 1401 winds its way through the S curves on the approach to control point Ottertail. Having shot this location in the past, I knew this scene with the peak of Mt. Carnarvon in Yoho National Park off in the distance was a must when I was location planning for this trip.

** 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 back in 2020 I was photographing some wild flowers . Then 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 it's not too bad . It is very heavily cropped
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT
Having successfully kept Rebel Rooster under his protective care, Jasper stood tall and proud. It was a rousing chase around the family room.
I use the term "under protective care" loosely. On Rebel Rooster's first day with Jasper, he lost an eyeball to Jasper's teeth. But luckily, in between being a fighter jet pilot and being a nuclear physicist, I spent some time as an eye surgeon so I was able to reattach Rebel's eyeball and he's fully stereoscopic again.

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!

Ο νέος και πολύ δραστήριος ιερέας του χωριού μας ανέσυρε προσφάτως σωρεία ιερών εικόνων χρονολογουμένων από τον 16ο έως τον 18ο αιώνα και πήρε την τολμηρή απόφαση, άν βεβαίως το επιτρέψει ο Θεός,να τις αποκαταστήσουμε σιγά-σιγά όλες.
Πρώτη,όπως ήταν φυσικό,επελέγη η ιερά εικόνα της προστάτιδος του χωριού μας, Αγίας Οσιοπαρθενομάρτυρος Παρασκευής της Αθληφόρου
Το σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα μέσα στο οποίο ευρέθησαν τα χρήματα αλλά και η ταχύτατη ταυτοχρόνως δε επιτυχέστατη αποκατάστασίς της οφείλονται αδιαμφισβήτητα στην παρρησία των πρεσβειών τής εικονογραφουμένης εις αυτήν προς τον Σωτήρα Χριστό.
Η φωτογραφία είναι από την ιερά λιτάνευσή της στον πανηγυρικό εσπερινό προς τιμήν της Αγίας την 25η Ιουλίου 2020 καθόσον πρόλαβε να είναι παρούσα με όλη την καινή λαμπρότητα στον εφετινό εορτασμό κατά την διάρκεια του οποίου το ιερό αυτό αποθησαύρισμα κατέστη πλέον και η εφέστιος εικών του Ι.Ναού του χωριού μας (Νομή Τρικάλων).
The young and very active priest of our village recently brought up piles of sacred icons dating from the 16th to the 18th century and made the bold decision, if God permits, to slowly restore them all.
First, as was natural, the holy icon of the patron saint of our village, Saint holy virgin martyr Paraskevi, was chosen.
The short period of time in which the money was found and its rapid and at the same time very successful restoration are undoubtedly due to the parsimony of the embassies illustrated in it to the Savior Christ.
The photo is from her holy litany at the panegyrical vespers in honor of the Saint on July 25, 2020 as she managed to be present with all the new splendor in this year's celebration during which this sacred hoarding became the central icon of Η. Church of our village (Νomi of Trikala).
