Soft rain this morning lent everything an over-saturated color, crying out for photos even through windows or screens.
The air is icky with smoke and haze and smell....even though it is seemingly overcast, the sun is warm behind all those layers. Looking out of another window at the bird feeders and bath.
View from the apartment window at Club Mahindra Resort, Coorg. I arrived here in night so nothing was visible but in morning when I drew the curtain this beuatiful view greeted me.
my friend Zhenya has the best ever window (balcony) view in this city.

taken from inside the Rockne Memorial Building overlooking South Quad at the University Notre Dame. The sky seems a very strange color of blue for some reason. i didn't do it.

My best guess at identifying this bird is that it is the Colima Warbler, whose range in the United States is limited exclusively to the single mountain group in west Texas, the Chisos Mountains. I did take some other pictures, but this was the clearest I could get - the bird was very active and flitting all over the bush - and in some of the other pictures some of the light yellow coloration is slightly more visible under the rear feathers.
This was spotted in a small bush deep within the canyon leading to the Window View in the Chisos Mountains. The Chisos are an isolated stand of mountains rising abruptly half a mile into the sky in the center of Big Bend National Park, forming an island of green in the sky, with small remnant plant and animal species left over from the last ice age that used to cover the entire region when the planet was cooler. The Chisos form a big basin, and the only drainage (when there is enough rain to actually produce running water) leads through a narrow slot in the mountains called 'The Window' or the 'Window Pouroff'. There were a pair of small birds jumping between two flowering bushes deep in the shadows of the canyon. Exceptionally friendly little birds, they allowed me to get within just a few feet - although they were almost constantly in motion the entire time. I must have spent ten minutes moving around them trying to get a clear shot.
The Colima Warbler ranges only in the upper reaches of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico, plus the tiny island of the Chisos Mountains. In fact, it was not even identified in the United States until 80 years ago. While an exceptionally uncommon bird by national standards, it is actually fairly common within Big Bend.

This and the following image were taken at almost exactly the same time, two days apart. (And yes, I've sneaked in yet one more snow pic, though the snow is mostly incidental here.) :~)
Everything is left as it was last night....paints, brushes, palettes...all need to be tidied before starting my art for today. The snow is melting but the temps are below freezing...

Somewhere out there in the distance under the haze is the Grand Canyon. Looking northwest out across the high desert of the Coconino Plateau between Bellemont, Arizona and the Grand Canyon.
