Red-headed woodpecker, Nov 5, 2019, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
According to our records this is the latest that we have had a red-headed woodpecker in the yard.
It is very cautious and it takes two or three passes before it will settle on the feeder.

Melanerpes erythrocephalus
The Red-headed Woodpecker is one of only four North American woodpeckers known to store food, and it is the only one known to cover the stored food with wood or bark. It hides insects and seeds in cracks in wood, under bark, in fence posts, and under roof shingles. Grasshoppers are regularly stored alive, but wedged into crevices so tightly that they cannot escape.

♀️Pochard is a rare winter visitor to the UK as most ♀️’s stay in warmer climates whilst ♂️Pochard visit in very large numbers. This bird was seen at WWT Welney
Got a huge surprise when this wild turkey landed in my garden! I heard a loud flapping of wings & seconds later this gorgeous, wild turkey arrives! It stayed around long enough for me to take a few photos of it before it flew away! Lucky for him it wasn't Thanksgiving, lol =)
Swallow tailed kite
This bird was found about a month ago in the Los Angeles area and has graced us with iits presence since then. Not the ideal photo but you take what you can get.
Haven't seen an Indigo Bunting here in years. I suppose it was the thistle seeds. Thanks for the look and have a good week.
This visitor would go to the heart of the flowers and wallow in the pollen. I tried to capture it but the cactus was forbidding. :-)) It was something to watch, though!
The potato bug, seen in the garden of the aunt of my husband :)
The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), also known as the Colorado beetle or the potato bug. It is about 10 mm (0.39 in) long, with a bright yellow/orange body and five bold brown stripes along the length of each of its elytra. Native to America, it spread rapidly in potato crops across America and then Europe from 1859 onwards. The Colorado beetle is a serious crop pest of potatoes. They may also cause significant damage to tomatoes and eggplants. Both adults and larvae feed on foliage and may completely eliminate the crop. Colorado potato beetle females are very prolific; they can lay as many as 800 eggs. Insecticides are currently the main method of beetle control on commercial farms. The natural enemy of Colorado beetle is the pheasant that eats Colorado beetle larvae.

Stonka w ogródku u cioci mojego męża. Nie jest już jej tak dużo jak kiedyś, no ale jeszcze się zdarza... :)
Stonka ziemniaczana (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) – chrząszcz z rodziny stonkowatych. Występuje w Ameryce Północnej i Środkowej, Europie i Azji. Pochodzi z Kolorado (USA) i dlatego zwana była też żukiem z Kolorado, kolorado lub chrząszczem kolorado. Do Europy została zawleczona na przełomie XIX i XX wieku. Przyjmuje się, że owad przywędrował przypadkowo na pokładach statków przewożących żywność. Żeruje na ziemniakach. Żywi się ich liśćmi, kwiatami i łodygami. Samica składa nawet do 1000 jaj, w grupach, na spodniej stronie liści ziemniaka. Larwy wykluwają się i pożerają liście. Jedzą aż do końca sierpnia, a potem schodzą pod ziemię i tam przeczekują zimę. Stonki sa bardzo odporne na działanie substancji chemicznych. Zauważono jednak, że naturalnym wrogiem stonki jest bażant, który zajada się larwami stonki.

Saheliyon-ki-Bari (Courtyard of the Maidens) is a major garden and a popular tourist space in Udaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan. It lies in northern part of the city and has fountains and kiosks, a lotus pool and marble elephants. It was built by Maharana Bhopal Singh. Saheliyon ki Bari means Garden of the Maidens. There is also a small museum here.
Sahelion Ki Bari' was laid for a group of forty-eight young women attendants who accompanied a princess to Udaipur as part of her dowry. The gardens set below the embankment of the Fateh Sagar Lake have beautiful lotus pools, marble pavilions and elephant- shaped fountains. These fountains are fed by the water of the lake gushing through ducts made for the purpose. Each water channel has its distinct sound and the mingling of these sounds complement the ambience of the place Near to saheliyon-ki-bari is burhani nagar and burhani masjid,vidhiya bhawan school and seva mandir marg.
Saheliyon Ki Bari is one the most beautiful gardens and a major tourist destination in Udaipur. The garden is famous for its lush green lawns, marble art and fountains. English translation of Saheliyon Ki Bari means "Garden of maids". This renowned garden is located on the banks of Fateh Sagar Lake, presenting a green retreat in the dry lands of Rajasthan. Garden of maids was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh for the royal ladies.
As per the legends, the garden was designed by the king himself and he presented this garden to his queen. Actually, the Queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her marriage. To offer all of them, pleasurable moments away from the political intrigues of the court, this garden was made. This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. The queen with her maids and female companions used to come here for a stroll and spend their time in leisure.
Due to this fact, the garden got its name. The superb architecture of the garden provides a breath-taking view to any observer. The garden is embellished with numerous fountains in its four water pools, chiseled kiosks and marble elephants. It is also celebrated for its lotus pool and bird-fountains. The lush green lawns, flowerbeds, and marble pavilions further enhance the romantic ambience of this magnificent garden.
In the later years, Maharana Bhopal Singh really liked this place and built a pavilion of rain fountains. The thought was to form an illusion of rain dancing in cadence with dancing maids. The Kings used to enjoy around the pools and fountains of this garden. These fountains were imported from England and you can trace them along with the main reservoir of the garden. The main reservoir has four black marbled kiosks in its corners and one white marbled kiosk in its center. On the top of kiosks, these fountains are in the form of sculpted birds that spurts water from their beaks producing the rain effect.
The museum exhibiting the huge collection of royal households is another attraction of this garden. It has many ancient pictures and things of the bygone period. Sight of stuffed cobras and other animals will definitely add a tint of adventure to your trip. Above all, you can stroll through the shady lawns, where the bunch of bougainvillea will bend down to greet you. Today, Saheliyon ki Bari has become the pleasure park for the recreation of Udaipur dwellers.
Garden of Maids is actually a place to visit by any visitor to this city. The crystalloid fountains, lotus pool, marbled elephants sprinkling water and many more attractions provide truly a picturesque sight to behold.
