Lovely metallic light.

The Storm approaches:

And sentiment.
Thanks Janice B
Will dig up a couple pix.

Great mudflat pix Janis! How I love tidal mudflats. I have spent many hundreds of hours surveying them. They have shorebirds, as in sandpipers. Amongst my favorite birds. Many are tremendous long distance migrants. One, a Godwit, was satellite tracked to fly 10 days straight from the tundra to about New Zealand for the winter, roughly 7000 miles non-stop. Some sandpipers occur there where you are I dream of seeing. Every combination of leg and bill length to exploit every niche of water depth, many with spectacular breeding plumages, but those are often dull in winter.

Just a quick one whilst no one is looking...

This is a male Yellow-throated Warbler in the birdbath yesterday. I presume the territorial one that nests across the road and uses yard daily.

Can't remember if I posted this before. This was last fall at Garner St. Pk., in Texas. It was a one-handed while driving through the windshield shot, but I thought it interesting. Weird having what seems a trailer of rescue equipment, with a notice painted on it saying to F off. Save Yourself. Almost as if, yeah we got the stuff to save you, but you can't have any. Kinda almost like America today.

Play it safe out there folks. Be well!
