Chilled frosty air. The scent of leaves. The sun filtering down and the morning dew covering spider webs in glistening glory.
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.
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

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

Thank you to everyone who views, favs or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
The wood stork (Mycteria americana) is a large American wading bird in the family Ciconiidae (storks). During the dry season, the wood stork eats mostly fish, supplemented by insects. During the wet season, on the other hand, fish make up about half the diet, crabs make up about 30%, and insects and frogs make up the rest.

Back to Death Valley in the sand and heat. HSS! Actually I didn't slide this much, this landscape is so different than any around, the sand storm made it even more eerie... This old tree with it's weathered wood was calling to us for a photo - HSS!
Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
Thank you for you support and visit, as always it is appreciated!
