Day two of the GOP shutdown. Please check on those who are most vulnerable. Amp up the kindness while making it clear this type of hypocrisy and cruelty goes against what it is to be human.

Another work day, this one (perhaps) at Redbud Valley Nature Preserve, a beautiful place only open for education and research. Rugged terrain, so the arthritis is already complaining.

A Great Egret to start the day. Large, acrobatic, ballet artists, and occasional drama artists.

"a light in a rainy forest"

#SilentSunday #Rain #Bird #Birding #Ecuador #BirdsOfMastodon #Wildlife #Photography #BirdPhotography #Mood #Nature #Hummingbird #Hummingbirds

In a dark, rain-streaked green blur of forest, a hummingbird sits on a branch with lifted head positioned to the catch the one shaft of light to show off the pink flash in his throat. This is the Fawn-breasted Brilliant. I have photo'd 50 species of hummingbirds, but this one of the first I ever tried to photograph with my Nikon z72, and it was dark & rainy, but I still like the mood even if it also serves to demonstrate how far I've come. December 2023. Northern Ecuador. Photo by Peachfront.

A rather baleful look from this Sparrowhawk that had just finished consuming its kill.

A Sparrowhawk looks straight into the camera with staring yellow eyes, blood from the recent kill still on its beak.

A green but not flashy hummingbird with a white belly and one of its leg puff showing is perched on a bare branch. This bird, the Greenish Puffleg, is sticking a skinny tongue out of the skinny beak. The background is the dappled green of a sunny day outdoors. Photo by Peachfront. Nov 2024. Northwest Peru.

Rencontre très proche avec des hirondelles !

Edit : Comme je le suspectais, c'est bien une histoire de température (mais aussi de manque de nourriture), apparemment il y'a des populations très fatiguées et une mortalité importante notamment dans ma région. J'espère que les hirondelles de ce matin ont réussi à se reposer un tant soit peu. En tout cas elle sont réparties quand elles l'ont décidé, j'ai bien fait attention à ne pas les déranger.

La pluie et le froid ont dû surprendre les hirondelles à l'étang, elles sont venues se réfugier sur les rebord de fenêtre de l'observatoire, même celles ouvertes !

Résultats, je suis resté plus d'une heure à côté des pauvres petits oiseaux qui se tenaient chaud en se collant les uns aux autres.

Je n'avais pas bien chaud de mon côté mais c'était une observation assez incroyable.
