Short Eared Owl - Asio flammeus
Norfolk
Over much of its range, short-eared owls occurs with the similar-looking long-eared owl. At rest, the ear-tufts of long-eared owl serve to easily distinguish the two (although long-eared owls can sometimes hold its ear-tufts flat). The iris-colour differs: yellow in short-eared, and orange in long-eared, and the black surrounding the eyes is vertical on long-eared, and horizontal on short-eared. Overall the short-eared tends to be a paler, sandier bird than the long-eared.
The short-eared owl occurs on all continents except Antarctica and Australia; thus it has one of the most widespread distributions of any bird. A. flammeus breeds in Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii and the Galápagos Islands. It is partially migratory, moving south in winter from the northern parts of its range. The short-eared owl is known to relocate to areas of higher rodent populations. It will also wander nomadically in search of better food supplies during years when vole populations are low.
Hunting occurs mostly at night, but this owl is known to be diurnal and crepuscular as well. Its daylight hunting seems to coincide with the high-activity periods of voles, its preferred prey. It tends to fly only feet above the ground in open fields and grasslands until swooping down upon its prey feet-first. Several owls may hunt over the same open area. Its food consists mainly of rodents, especially voles, but it will eat other small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels, shrews, rats, bats, muskrats and moles. It will also occasionally predate smaller birds, especially when near sea-coasts and adjacent wetlands at which time they attack shorebirds, terns and small gulls and seabirds with semi-regularity. Avian prey is more infrequently preyed on inland and centers on passerines such as larks, icterids, starlings, tyrant flycatchers and pipits.

I was practicing my tracking on flying violet green swallows at Commonwealth Lake, and got a few keepers out of the lot. One of them was carrying materials that I assume is for a nest.

Do you know what your child’s most annoying phrase is? It’s probably, “summer is over.” This is the time when back-to-school sales kick off long before classes do. If you know what you need in advance, you’ll be able to save significant money by taking advantage of these sales.
To do well in school, students must have all of the necessary supplies. Students can’t buy their own supplies, which means, at least to a certain extent, their success is dependent on their parents.
Different teachers request different supplies, making it difficult to have all the right supplies.
Some basic items are:
Pencils
Notebook
Crayons
Erasers
Sharpeners
Highlighters
Protractor
Ruler
Thank you for your visits, comments and favs!

Macro Monday - Bathroom
I usually set up my shots and use a tripod but just placed these on the bathroom window sill and took it hand held...standards are slipping!
The bath salts jar is approximately 1x2 inches. It's one of the little travel bath supplies from the B&B we stayed in Apollo Bay on our trip to Australia and I thought it would be a handy photo prop. Behind it is a scented candle, you'll just have to take my word that it smells wonderful and looks too good to light. HMM
Species: Fringilla montifringilla.
Similar in size and shape to the chaffinch, the male brambling has a black head in summer, and an orange breast with white belly. In flight it shows a long white rump. Gregarious in winter, it may form flocks of many thousands and often joins with chaffinches. Numbers can vary between winters depending on food supplies. It is a Schedule 1 species. Info:RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
A trip on the Welsh Highland Railway from Caernarfon to Porthmadog, 12 October 2019. A view from the 1000 Caernarfon to Porthmadog as it climbs towards Rhyd-ddu, looking down to Llyn Cwellyn, with 698m Mynydd Mawr (Big Mountain) on the left, whilst on the right the highest point is Moel Eilio (726 m).
Llyn Cwellyn is a reservoir, dammed at the north end, although this has not greatly enlarged the volume of water of this natural glaciated lake, which supplies water to much of Gwynedd and of Anglesey. It is quite deep, some 37 m maximum, and is home to the rare (at least for the UK) Arctic char as well as brown trout.

Back from holiday and had to go shopping for supplies, I picked these roses up half price in the supermarket. I thought they would brighten the house up and be handy for a photo or two.
This table full of supplies was available to us during our cake decorating activity at Cake Creation Studio. Lots to choose from but we kept things very simple.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Office Supplies. Everything for the mobile office right here! HMMM!
The landscape may not be turning green yet, but there's one sure sign of spring here - a ballast train!
CP 6241 and CP 6306 lead two GREX conveyor train sets south over a classic truss bridge approaching Marquette, IA. This curve across the floodplain of the Yellow River and the Mississippi Backwater slough is below the bluffs Effigy Mounds National Monument, on the ridge in the background. The crew, running under the symbol BAL-05, has been battling a bit of congestion this morning around Harpers Ferry, but is finally getting to run out the last few miles for a crew change ahead at the depot. The former SOO SD60 duo sure brings a nice pop of color to the otherwise dull early April landscape. I’ve always liked this bridge but the ground view has always felt like it could use a slight bit of elevation. I don’t shoot “wide” with the drone as much anymore (I prefer the far-less-distorted 3x tele of the Air3 more often lately) but this scene and height seemed to suit.
A little more of the story for those that care:
The CKPC has started the annual warm-weather blitz of loads out of the pit at Waterloo, WI which supplies rock for many of the former ICE (nee-Milwaukee Road) lines into Iowa. And thankfully for us railfans anyway, these trains seem to be some of the last holdouts for some of the EMD SD products still getting to regularly run the mainline. So on this sunny beautiful Sunday morning, when I heard the CP 6241 get a warrant out of Bluff (La Crescent, MN) for a run down the river, I drove north to meet them.
The BAL-05 had a good run to Harpers Ferry, but then was stalled out by traffic ahead. There were at least 7 trains within about 25 miles of Marquette at one point for a couple hours: 4 trying to go south, two trying to come up from Dubuque and turn the corner towards Mason City, and one poor northbound that got hosed at Harpers Ferry for quite a while.
The CP Marquette Subdivision from Marquette to Bluff is one of the last bits of track that’s still under Track Warrant Control on this now-critical link between Davenport (Nahant) and St. Paul (there are a couple others, but CTC has been installed most of the way now), so the first trick DS was quite busy trying to keep on top of issuing and canceling warrants to keep everybody moving. It sometimes got a little messy (there was a shove move up a different leg of the wye in Marquette required at one point to make a meet work…). But trains eventually got to where they were supposed to be going! And since this BAL-05 was also following a slower train ahead, it allowed me to get 10 separate runbys over the course of the afternoon of this fine duo. A good early spring day even if it was still the "brown season!"
The Barron Falls is a steep tiered cascade waterfall on the Barron River located where the river descends from the Atherton Tablelands to the Cairns coastal plain, in Queensland, Australia. Protected within the Barron Gorge National Park, the volume of water seen in the upper photo only occurs after substantial rainfall during the wet season. For much of the rest of the year, little more than a trickle is evident, due in part to the presence of a weir behind the head of the falls that supplies the Barron Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station located downstream in the gorge. The Barron Falls may be viewed and accessed by road via the Kennedy Highway that crosses the Barron River upstream of the falls, near Kuranda. The narrow-gauge Kuranda Scenic Railway and the Skyrail aerial tram also leads from the coastal plain to the tablelands. The train stops at Barron Falls overlook, where passengers may disembark for several minutes. The Skyrail stops at two rainforest mid-stations, Red Peak and Barron Falls. The trail at Barron Falls Skyrail station leads through the rainforest to three separate lookouts providing views of the Gorge and Falls. The falls were one of the most popular tourist attractions in Queensland by the 1890s. Visitors are drawn to the natural features and scenery. 22530
