HOW DO I BECOME A CHRISTIAN?
Being a Christian is about a relationship with Jesus Christ, the only Son of the living God, who died in our place, to pay for our sin. He desires to welcome you into God's family here on earth and into heaven when you die.
To start this relationship, simply pray the prayer below, if you mean it, he'll respond, because the Bible says that God looks at our hearts.
"Dear God, I am a sinner and need forgiveness.
I believe that Jesus shed his precious blood and died for my sin.
I am willing to turn away from my sin.
I now invite Christ to come into my heart and life as my personal Saviour.! "
=====================
Northern Gannets are monogamous and mate for life, very much like albatrosses. Pairs form, and renew their bonds, at the breeding colony, called a gannetry, which may contain thousands of pairs in close proximity to each other. Young birds also return to the colony in their second or third year, forming “clubs” of birds that rest together and begin to learn the local fishing routes. Males begin to claim a breeding site in a colony in their third or fourth year, shaking their head side to side frequently, biting the nest site itself, and stretching the neck toward females that show interest. Clashes between males over nest sites can be intense, with bills locked and much pushing at the cliff edge; injuries are not uncommon. Once partnered, male and female greet each other at the nest site each time they reunite, the males shaking the head, the females offering the nape for the male to nibble. They also engage in so-called “mutual fencing,” wherein they face each other, often touching, calling, shaking heads side to side as their bills clack together, bowing, and finally preening each other’s neck. Both parents care for and feed the young, taking turns on fishing excursions that may last several days. Both sexes defend the nest and chicks aggressively against other gannets, using threat displays such as jabbing with the bill.
These guys are not super common around here so it is a real pleasure to discover one among the regular winter residents like the Golden-Crowned Sparrow and the White-Crowned Sparrow
I went to Fernhill yesterday to see what was happening. Not a lot going on, but I was pleased to see this Lincoln's sparrow near the path. This is the only place I've seen them, and even at that, not often.
I was out at Fernhill over the weekend, and chatting with another birder. He told me that he'd seen white-crowned sparrows and a Lincoln's sparrow along the way, so I watched more closely on the way out. I'd seen the golden-crowned sparrows and several song sparrows, but was fortunate enough to get a few shots of this Lincoln's sparrow, a lifer for me, as well as some of young (first winter) white-crowned sparrows. A good day overall!!!
Wondering about the weekend!
The most widely distributed of its genus, the Amethyst Woodstar is found in a great variety of habitats throughout its circum-Amazonian distribution. The male is mainly bronzy green above with a prominently forked tail, white sides to the rump, and a striking amethyst-colored throat, bordered by a white breast band. The female has a green-spotted white throat, orange-rufous sides to the underparts, and a narrow white line behind the eye. The Amethyst Woodstar has been recorded taking the nectar of a large number of plant species, and at least occasionally the species hawks insects in flight. This woodstar is probably largely sedentary, but local movements potentially occur, though have yet to be proven. The species is usually not uncommon, but is rather rare and has perhaps declined in northeast Argentina, and is very poorly known in Colombia.
Have a Peaceful weekend!
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

The Common Crow (Euploea core) is found in Asia and Australia. As caterpillars they feed on Milkweed and Oleander, both of which have toxins that protect the caterpillars and butterflies from predators. It's only as butterflies they show their uncommon talent in the field of photography and as hair dressers.

A fairly uncommon insect. The males feed on pollen and nectar, while females can also take blood of mammals, athough don't prefer people. This female did not seem to be at all interested in me.
Taken in the mountains of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.
We found this Nighthawk in a rather abrupt manner. My hiking partner practically stepped on its tail while walking on the side of a road. The bird promptly alighted again on the rubble adjacent the road which made this photo possible. I'm thinking it's a juvenile judging by its colouration being mostly buffy brown.

Along Rt. 66, in Wildorado, Texas, we came upon this towering giant. Although we saw many, this was a favorite because of all the colors. Most might not agree, but I found it strangely beautiful...
I was uninspired trying to come up with something interesting for this theme until I looked in my "Measure & Level" drawer and found a couple old rulers that have obviously been around for a while.
The green smear of paint on the top ruler was my grandfather's tool color and the one on the bottom is actually stamped "Made in the U.S.A."-- very uncommon these days.
Anyway, Happy Macro Monday everyone! :)

An uncommon duo of heritage units featuring the Central of Georgia and "original" Norfolk Southern units brings domestic intermodal train 23M west at Danbury, Ohio, on March 24, 2022. A crappy day, but it did help for a morning westbound...
A beautiful and colorful bee eater that is quite uncommon / rare in our region, but a resident bird in the forest we visited last week. Its quite a shy bird unlike its cousins and its hard to get at eye level like this. The bird is just like the Green Bee Eater in pretty much every way except for the habitat - this is a forest bee eater. An insectivorous bird, preferring flying insects like Bees, dragonflies, moths and maybe some type of butterflies.
Shot this in a new forest area around 10 hours away from my place. We were exploring the forest and found dozens of Chestnut Headed Bee Eaters - in fact they were more common than the Green Bee Eaters. The birds were perched on thin branches and were diving to catch insects and coming back to the same perch. We spent an hour watching their behaviour and also trying to get some shots like this.
Thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback - very much appreciated.

A close-up side-view in first comment.
Uncommon to locally fairly common summer migrant to warmer regions, from winter grounds in Africa. Favors open and semiopen country with scattered trees and wooded patches; feeds on larger insects, such as grasshoppers. Mostly seen singly or in small groups, perched on bare snags, wires, and other prominent perches, also on the ground. Spectacular and distinctive: overall brilliant blue, with rusty back, stout crowlike bill; juvenile plumage duller overall. (eBird)

We saw these lovely birds several times in Bulgaria, but they succeeded in staying far away from us. This is a big crop of distant birds.
Dolna Kula, Bulgaria. May 2016.
Neophron Tours.
Uncommon, declining and found only in isolated populations.
Both the larvae and adults are poisonous to birds and the bright orange and black pattern serves as a warning sign (aposematic).
Uncommon variety of Marsh Helleborine that lacks typical purple coloration of the flower and the stem due to not enough anthocyanin pigments. Only veins on the hypochile (the internal part of the lip) are still faintly purplish. Latin Name: Epipactis palustris var. ochroleuca. Kenfig National Nature Reserve, Bridgend, Wales
Amongst the general quietness on this Sunday morning, Northtown released a couple of eastbounds. The first was this 1 x 1 with the proper "one" on the point, that being a 70MACe. They are traversing the plant at Seventh Street with a clear shot to Prescott and down the river.
What a remarkable looking duck the male Common Eider is - kind of like waterfowl's version of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Only more handsome, in my view. The massachusetts coast was filled with them on the February weekend I visited.
Thanks to his accessible manner I have learned much from Stephen Shore. "Do not impose an organization upon a scene, but rather find a place where the scene will naturally reveal it's natural transparent space. Be aware of both the positive and negative zones."
With a pair of former Cartier M630s for power, WNYP ran a storage more of empty coal hoppers west to be interchanged with the NS in Meadville, PA on Friday. The train is seen passing through rural NE Pennsylvania scenery a few miles east of Columbus. Thanks to those who provided the help in getting a most uncommon train.
A solo YN2 AC44 leads an eastbound freight through Pittsburgh's South Side, a sight only to be possible for a few more years before they're all rebuilt.
A pretty uncommon and migratory courser that is found in the western parts of India during winters. They migrate from the Middle East and parts of North Africa like Morocco and are seen in the dry desert grasslands where grass grows like a couple of inches. These are small birds around 19-24 cms and hard to sight in their habitat - which is cream / brown colored desert grass. Took us sometime to find them and that only when they moved.
Shot these during our trip to Rajasthan - the winter is apparently delayed there and we loved the weather. But that has impacted the migration and several bird species numbers are quite low. Like this courser - the guide informed us that they are apparently seen in 20-30 numbers, but this time we only saw like 2-3 of them at best. As the days get colder, the naturalist thinks we will see more of them.
Many thanks in advance for your views, faves and feedback - very much appreciated.
