The buffet is excellent.

This round bird is a dunlin (Calidris alpina). It's the first that I've knowingly seen. In fact, I didn't know I'd seen it this time until going through the hundreds of photographs that I took at Gulfport, Mississippi.

"Dazzling in its breeding finery, with vivid rusty back and black belly patch, the Dunlin was once called the Red-backed Sandpiper. It’s now named for its nonbreeding plumage, a mousy gray-brown or “dun” color. Dunlins are an abundant species that nests around the world’s arctic regions. They winter in large flocks along bays, estuaries, and coastlines. They have notably long, curved bills but they don’t probe deeply into mud; instead, they tend to feed on invertebrates just barely below the surface." - allaboutbirds.org

This dunlin stands facing left in shallow brown water while lazy small rolling waves pass by its black legs. The bird is round with a small head upon an invisible neck. Its long black beak bows downwards particularly toward its end. There is a patch of brown feathers atop its heat that looks rather like a toupee. Its eye is black and the feathers around it are a shade lighter than the brown feathers of its head. Its back and wings are brown and maybe a bit darker at the tips of its flight feathers. Its short tail feathers are black. Its front is bright fluffy white with specks of brown nerd its neck and wings.

"A chunky, small shorebird with medium-length legs, a short neck, and a long bill that is curved toward the tip. Breeding adult has bright rusty back and crown, black belly patch, and white underparts with dark stippling. Nonbreeding adults have grayish brown upperparts, head, and breast, and are pale below. Juveniles are browner, with a scaly black and rusty brown marbled pattern above, white below, with faint stippling and trace of dark belly patch. The legs are dark." - allaboutbirds.org

Sometimes you realize that you're seeing the same view that others have seen, hundreds of years earlier.

Lost Roll 1970ca-14: Tri-X (developed 2023)

The dating to 1970 is arbitrary: could have been several years either way. I'm putting this roll here so that it follows the freeway views I posted on the weekend.

I spoiled the party.

I was at a small mostly hidden pond in Albany, Georgia taking photographs of the birds. I wanted to get closer to the birds, so I found an obscured path down to the water's edge. I was intruding and most of the birds opted to leave when I got closer. These hooded mergansers (ophodytes cucullatus) were among the flock that was at the pond - they all flew away a few at a time. So my plan was mostly a failure. I did get photos of them flying though.

"The Hooded Merganser is the second-smallest of the six living species of mergansers (only the Smew of Eurasia is smaller) and is the only one restricted to North America." - allaboutbirds.org

There are four mergansers flying in line from right to left against a blue sky. The lead duck is a male, the second a female, and the two in the rear are males.

"Hooded Mergansers are small ducks with a thin bill and a fan-shaped, collapsible crest that makes the head look oversized and oblong. In flight, the wings are thin and the tail is relatively long and rounded. Adult male Hooded Mergansers are black above, with a white breast and rich chestnut flanks. The black head has a large white patch that varies in size when the crest is raised or lowered but is always prominent. Females and immatures are gray and brown, with warm tawny-cinnamon tones on the head." -- allaboutbirds.org

Weird things I've found on a beach #11

A small yellow brain.

(possibly sea cauliflower? do we get them in Scotland? this was found on a beach on Mull)

A photograph of a blobby, golden-orange seaweed type thing that I found on a beach. It looks a bit like a simple brain. It sits on a shell beach, and two simple draw figures investigate it, one with a gentle prod, the other kneeling on the ground and looking underneath it.

Sometimes I wonder how the frequent weirs in the river affect the movement of fish upstream, but I do enjoy watching the ducks riding downstream over them. #SpotBilledDuck #duck #birding #photography

Good morning, friends. 💮💮💮

28 November 2023

Well things are back to normal, there was the usual battle with Charlie this morning to get a few more minutes sleep. I kind of blew yesterday off ... completely, I didn't do anything. Well, that's not completely true, there are some things that I had to do. It's like I've been training to make lazy a way of life. Already this morning I feel like taking a nap. 💤 Hmmm ... I better get up and get another cup of coffee.

It looks rather monochromatic outside. All the snow on the ground should be gone in a couple of days as the weather warms up to above normal again. 🙃

Good morning from Harlem

Looking through an arched window five minutes after sunrise the cloudless sky fades from orange at the horizon to steel blue above. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance.

Trinity Church, the famous Copley Square building, is the 3rd home to this parish. The 1st two were located in what is now the Downtown Crossing area of Boston. After the Great Fire of 1872 destroyed the 2nd church, construction of the new church took place from 1872 to 1877 and today it is a National Historic Landmark.

An Oriental Magpie-Robin (Copsychus saularis) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 2 June 2023. I now realize that I got shots of the bird with the same pose but in different locations by coincidence.

Stop crows walking on people.

It’s a serious problem all over the world. Crows are walking on people. In Cork, they put up signs hoping to discourage the crows, but instead the crows just walk on the signs.

Good morning and happy Tuesday!

Let's start with our usual #MorningMoments and find out what we all have planned for the day today.

For me, it's work stuff as usual then just resting and relaxing if all goes as planned.

I already miss Myrtle Beach, SC as that's where the picture below was taken. On the beach just outside of our condo at Ocean Reef Resort.

It was perfect timing for me to capture this Omaha, Nebraska scene with a sunburst at the very end of the Farnam Pier during sunrise. This pier extends out over the Missouri River and has a cool Rib like architecture style to it. Pretty cool to see.
