This juvy Green Heron was one of the most entertaining birds I've seen in quite some time so I'm going to stick with it for a while. It made strike after strike from this high vantage point near the entrance to Alligator Alley on Horsepen Bayou, where the menhaden population took quite a hit that morning.
Evening Grosbeak female
It's been about 50 years since I last saw an Evening Grosbeak. My recollection from when I was a kid was that pretty much every winter we'd have flocks of them in the dozens, feeding on the sunflower seeds we scattered on the ground for them. Knowing what I do now about how scarcely we see these birds in any numbers in southern Ontario these days, I consulted my sister and brother to confirm or deny my recollection, and they corroborated my memories... "there seemed always to be good-sized flocks of evening grosbeaks almost every winter ... seemed to be pretty ordinary then — kind of the winter-time equivalent of robins", and "I remember them coming every winter the same as you do, so much so that I thought they were very common and dull". That's exactly how it seemed to me back at that time. What a difference 50 years makes, and what a thrill it was to have three of them (all females) in my own yard earlier this week!
A trio of Acorn Woodpeckers stake their claims to a dead tree branch along the Pinnacles Trail in Big Bend National Park, Brewster County, Texas.
Tangled on the yellow pond.
Found this tree branch and a wreck boat (see on the other side) while searching for autumn (Vine vid).
Just grabbed the song from Bjear:

Have a great evening...xxX
I've been trying to shoot this pear orchard for some time now and when I got off work yesterday and noticed the skies were clearing out I thought I better take advantage of the small window of opportunity that I've got so I packed up the gear and hit the road to see if there were any keepers to be found........
A special thanks to my friends Gary & Carol for inspiring me with their resent comps..........Even though I missed the full bloom I didn't miss the PoV from this amazing "little" piece of heaven...........:)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week................!
~Hugs~
this is my first long exposure, even though it was not a long one. thanks Peter Nilsson for your support, knowledge, patience and friendship!
Went out to catch some rain drop action and found this little tableau. The leaves' bright colors against the bark darkened by rain created a spot of bright in the gloom. Press "L" to see the raindrops on the leaves.

It was very windy just before the snow storm hit. This White Squirrel crawled up to this spot along the edge of a corn field. With it's tail flapping in the wind and it having to open and shut it's eyes continually because of the gale.It stayed up here until it was done eating.
