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

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 Sandpiper - Tringa Glareola
The wood sandpiper is a medium-sized wading bird, with a fine straight bill, yellowish legs and a conspicuous long white stripe from the bill over the eye to the back of the neck. In flight, it shows no wing-stripes and a square white rump.
Is is a passage migrant in spring and autumn, breeding in Northern Europe and wintering in Africa. A few pairs breed in the Scottish Highlands. The flooding of some previously drained traditional marshes in Scotland may help this species in future. Wood sandpipers are listed as a Schedule 1 species.
The wood sandpiper breeds in subarctic wetlands from the Scottish Highlands across Europe and Asia. They migrate to Africa, Southern Asia, particularly India, and Australia. Vagrant birds have been seen as far into the Pacific as the Hawaiian Islands. In Micronesia it is a regular visitor to the Mariana Islands (where flocks of up to 32 birds are reported) and Palau; it is recorded on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands about once per decade. This species is encountered in the western Pacific region between mid-October and mid-May. A slight westward expansion saw the establishment of a small but permanent breeding population in Scotland since the 1950s.
This bird is usually found on freshwater during migration and wintering. They forage by probing in shallow water or on wet mud, and mainly eat insects and similar small prey. T. glareola nests on the ground or uses an abandoned old tree nest of another bird, such as the fieldfare (Turdus pilaris). Four pale green eggs are laid between March and May.
Adult wood sandpipers moult all their primary feathers between August and December, whilst immature birds moult varying number of outer primaries between December and April, much closer to their departure from Africa. Immatures are also much more flexible than adults in the timing and rate of their moult and refueling. Adults and immatures which accumulate fuel loads of c.50% of their lean body mass can potentially cross distances of 2397โ4490 km in one non-stop flight.
This was an interesting encounter. This little wood duck chick seemed to be on its own, with no other wood ducks around. But there was a family of common gallinules nearby and one of the parents kept trying to scoot the wood duck over into their family, almost as if they were adopting it.

Wood stork in Bulow Creek State Park, along the Ormond Scenic Loop. Wood storks may not be the prettiest birds, but they have awesome textures around the head. And this one was particularly advantageously positioned against the shaded forest.
A young Wood Stork stands up waiting for mom or dad's return while their two siblings doze off.
I included a photo of the colony these young ones lived within in the comments below.
From Audubon
The young are Fed by both parents. During first 5 weeks or so, one parent usually guards young; unguarded nests may be attacked by unmated storks wandering through colony. Young may make short flights at about 8 weeks, but return to nest to be fed and to sleep until about 11 weeks old.

Thereโs Ash, Oak, Cherry, and Maple here, some for burning, some for the mill. Harvesting in this country is often small-scale, independent work, and folks I know who do it enjoy being outside, manage their woodlots with care, and they appreciate and know well this wood in its varied forms and for its varied uses.
Some woodtextures of a huge trunk laying down in a park with the late afternoon light.
There were rotten parts and also damaged parts by a fire. The trunk has been an object of nature for a few years now, but it was from a tree of more as 500 years old. Its width is about 1.80 meter or almost 6 feet. This was cut down before it really fell upon somebody.
Spent the whole weekend getting shots of fall color before it was gone and the weekend could not have been more beautiful. I enjyed the peace and quiet and not to mention all the color!
Best wishes to all my Flickr friends, I wish you a new year full of love, creativity and in good health...
I want to thank you (again!) for your stimulating and creative presence... it means a lot :-)
The speckled wood (Pararge aegeria) is a butterfly found in and on the borders of woodland areas throughout much of the Palearctic ecozone.
For macro mondays 'made of wood'
This tiny mouse was made by a local wood turner and usually lives on one of our bookshelves, but it was time for a photo shoot out in the woods today :)
Taken at Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, Calgary, Alberta
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

The oldest recorded Wood Stork was at least 20 years, 2 months old. It had been banded in Georgia in 1994, and was identified by its band in the wild in South Carolina in 2014.
