The species Syritta pipiens is within the family of Syrphidae, commonly called hover or flower flies. Syrphidae is one of the largest families within the Diptera order[12] and contains about 6,000 known species widely distributed around the world. They are distinctive flies that are often found on flowers, where the adult males primarily feed on nectar and adult females eat protein-rich pollen to produce eggs
A thick layer of snow had remained on my skylight window. Now at a sunny day with clear blue sky, it began to melt. HMM

Das auf ein Jagdhaus des 16. Jahrhunderts zurückgehende Jagdschloss erhielt seine heutige Gestalt im 18. Jahrhundert unter August dem Starken.
In den Jahren 1542–1546 ließ Herzog Moritz sein Jagdhaus mit Jagdtrophäen im Stil der Renaissance ausstatten. Nach ihm benannte man später das Schloss, der ursprüngliche Name war Dianenburg. Schon das damalige Jagdhaus bestand aus vier dicken Rundtürmen, die mit einer umlaufenden Wehrmauer verbunden waren.
The hunting lodge, which dates back to a hunting lodge from the 16th century, was given its current appearance in the 18th century under Augustus the Strong.
In the years 1542–1546, Duke Moritz had his hunting lodge furnished with hunting trophies in the Renaissance style. The castle was later named after him, the original name was Dianenburg. The hunting lodge at that time already consisted of four thick round towers, which were connected by a surrounding defensive wall.

Thick-knees ( Burhinidae ) are also called Stone Curlews or Dikkops and are large waders/shorebirds ( the order Charadriiformes ).
They all have large eyes and long thickly jointed legs.
The Spotted Thick-knee is often active at night when its loud call can be heard from a distance.
This one was foraging during the day near soem bushes where it could find cover.

Fog At Dawn..
On the last week of October a dense fog had descended on Brampton. It was thick and the sun was shining but barely able to get through the soupy haze.
The the park was completely fogged over the sun was playing hide and seek with us through the thick clouds of drifting fog.

You could hear the sea, like a continuous avalanche, the incessant thunder of a storm born of who knows what sky. It didn't stop for a moment. He knew no weariness. A. Baricco
Senegal Thick-knee - Queen Elizabeth National Park, Western, Uganda
Bird Species # (651) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

The first time I saw a Short-tailed Hawk it was in a Cypress Tree having lunch. I looked and looked through my bird books and references online and couldn't identify it. It was a dark phased individual and everywhere I had been looking showed it in its light phase, like this one. When I saw this one soaring down in Miami, I was pretty sure that it was a Short-tailed. Looking at images online I believe that this one is a juvenile. The adult has a more distinctively dark head and whiter chest and belly. They eat smaller birds, like grackles, red-winged black birds and meadowlarks. I've read that they hunt from the air, often making a series of swoops down taking their prey off a perch or possibly in the air. It's a sight I've never seen and only rarely see this species. (Buteo brachyurus)
Correction. Thanks to the help of several folks and my own research I've determined that this is a Red-shouldered Hawk. (I hope I'm right.) Short tailed hawks have a cleaner belly and chest and the light phase has a very dark head and the white of the chest forms a thick line up to the bill. Learning is half the fun.
These mating thick-headed flies look almost identical to the mason wasp that I photographed and posted on Flickr yesterday! However, they are flies and not wasps, if you can believe that, and so have no ability to sting. But that's no comfort to area bumble bees, for after mating here, the female (on the bottom) waits for a bumble bee to land on a flower and start gathering pollen. Then she pounces on its back and pries an opening between the bumble bee's abdominal segments and lays an egg before flying off. Notice the hook-like structure on her last abdominal segment for doing this, working like a can-opener. After hatching inside the bumble bee, the baby thick-headed fly starts eating the bumble bee's insides. It takes about 10 days for the larval thick-headed fly to eviserate the bumble bee and just before dying, the bumble bee buries itself in the dirt, giving the fly larva a nice safe winter home. Next spring, the thick-headed fly larva will pupate and then emerge as a new adult thick-headed fly when the bumble bees are abundant and active.

This is a view from a pier in the pond. Tairo-ike is surrounded by a thick forest of evergreen broadleaf trees, and the forest and pond are well-known for birdwatching. There is a municipality-run visitor centre called Akakokko-kan (アカコッコ館) near the shore, which provides ecological information about the area and Miyakejima supported by the Wild Bird Society of Japan.
Aka-kokko (Turdus celaenops) is a red-bellied thrush species endemic to Izu Islands. It is a symbol of Miyake-jima. The name means "red bird."
Last year January we went to the Weissensee in Austria for a 200 km skating tour, but one day before the tour a thick layer of fresh snow covered the ice and the mountains. So we enjoyed the snow. Weissensee, 2023.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!

Early in 1914, moreover, we realized that it would be impossible to free the Saint Anna from the ice; at best, we would drift until the autumn of 1915, more than three years after we had departed Alexandrovsk.* If we stayed on board, starvation would become a real threat by January 1915, if not sooner. In the darkness of the long polar night, a struggle against hunger carries no hope of salvation. During this season, hunting is out of the question, as all animals are in hibernation. The only certainty for those trapped in its realm is that "white death" lies in wait for them.
