Absolutely stunning Thanksgiving walk at Terra Cotta - Stunning Fall colours with a thick fog rolling through. It wasn't only me who was enchanted by the forest as there were many photographers and individuals just looking to enjoy the tall trees and mystical landscape - almost dream like.

Group of male wood ducks perched on a tree, I was lucky to also see four different GBH perched on trees at the Inglewood Brid Sanctuary. Also saw a bunch of other wood female ducks and few deer.

Thanks everyone for visiting, favorites and comments.

APPENNINO TOSCO EMILIANO-ITALY

For as many shots that I've taken in the woods I rarely come up with anything good, For me, woods can be a bit tricky, first you have to find some pleasing elements and then find that right composition. This was on the way back from my aborted trip to Crater Lake (see first comment), it's a tough unmaintained road and there was a puddle across it that looked like it would have swallowed my Fiat. I turned around. On the way back I spotted this little creek and the crazy roots in the eroded bank. I'm glad I stopped for a look.

Wood Warbler - Phylloscopus sibilatrix

The wood warbler (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is a common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe, and just into the extreme west of Asia in the southern Ural Mountains.

This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in tropical Africa.

It is a summer visitor to the United Kingdom, seen from April until August. It has declined there in recent years. It is now very rare in Ireland, where only one or two pairs are recorded breeding in most years, usually in County Wicklow.

Various factors associated with forest structure, including slope, forest cover, proportion of broad-leaf forest, canopy height and forest edge length, all influenced the occupancy rates of this declining forest species. Conservation measures are therefore required that provide and maintain the wood warblers preferred forest structure. There is also a preference for forest in the non-breeding season, however this habitat is declining in wintering areas such as Ghana. Despite the decline in forest habitats, there has been no change in number of wood warblers as it appears that this species can use degraded habitats, such as well-wooded farms. However, further loss of trees will likely have a negative impact on this species in the future

We always have two pairs of Pigeons nest in our garden each year, they spend the whole of the time squabbling!

Chestnut-tailed Starling or Grey-headed Myna (Sturnia malabarica) is a member of the starling family of perching birds. It is a resident or partially migratory species found in wooded habitats in India and Southeast Asia.

The species name is after the distribution of a former subspecies in the Malabar region. This resident population has a white head and is often treated as a full species, the Malabar starling (Sturnia blythii).

DO YOU KNOW - Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture is the highest flying bird ever recorded. Flying at an altitude of 37000 ft.

Happy birding 🐦

Wish you a wonderful day...

One of the most handsome ducks, certainly the most colorful, this male Wood Duck stayed among the waterlilies for a few minutes, then swam off into the brush at Six Mile Cypress Slough, Florida.
