coming out from a dive in front of a zodiac in a cliff's shadow. We are reflected in the bird's eye. The cliff is home for the largest thick billed murre colony in Svalbard, with some 60,000 nesting pairs. Its also home to at lest three arctic foxes that patrol the bottom of the cliff for fallen eggs, chicks, or exhorted parents.
Sunday - thick fog is around the house. I pack my photo backpack and make my way to the little pass nearby. The street brings me about 100 meters higher - the fog becomes light - but the sun is difficult to make out. Patience is the order of the day...

Thick Billed Spiderhunter, Arachnothera crassirostris, Kelicap Jantung Paruh Tebal
My last spiderhunter of Malaysia. Uncommon resident species that have been evading me for seven years of birding. At last got all 10 species of spiderhunters in my lifers’ collection. Hopefully, ornithologist doesn’t split any species of this Family anytime soon. If does, I might go crazy again.

It's around six in the afternoon on a mid December afternoon. A thick fog is descending. An Indiana Northeastern crew, with their two SD40-2's, have been at it since before dawn loading a grain train a handful of hoppers at a time. They're done for the day and have tied and shut down their power, though the lights haven't gone out quite yet.
