Still Standing

For anyone overcoming or for those who have survived any form of hell. I especially think of my Trans friends right now. One of my good friends has a son in Texas who is being traumatized. :*(

I came home from work the other day to find this beautiful white peacock strolling down our street on the road! I quickly parked the car and went to grab the camera and captured a few shots before he disappeared into someone's backyard. It is extremely unusual to find a wild peacock strolling in a residential area, although our area does have many trees.

Two days later, he returned, strolling from our place to other residential properties. I will look forward to meeting him again!

I do differ in opinion with a comment below that white Peacocks have blue eyes, as this one definitely appears to have red eyes.... so perhaps he is a real albino. By Kaye Menner Photography.

Greater Roadrunner Winter Profile by Debra Martz
One reason birds fluff up their feathers is to stay warm in the winter. This traps air between their body and feathers acting as insulation. The more trapped air, the warmer the bird.

I like birds, & am fascinated by their feathers' colours. This rainbow lorikeet feather has four distinct colours - more if you count the shades of grey - reminding me that I've often wondered. How does that work? Why is a single feather so variable? How do they grow? If only I could access some world wide resource and find out.💡🔔

I found some AI crap, but also this from the Cornell Lab. I thought it was interesting. 🤷‍♂️

A feather from a rainbow lorikeet in the palm of a hand. Probably a chest or undercarriage feather. It's downy, fluffy, and light grey at the base, then briefly yellow, a band of orange, more yellow, and finally green

Brown Pelican

I found this pelican down along the ocean in La Jolla in Southern California. The bird was nesting on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. He/she wasn't very far from where I was at but didn't seem to be worried about my presence. I'm guessing that it may have been a female laying on her eggs?

YIKES!

#Colorado #BirdFlu cases show how #ExtremeHeat may be complicating efforts to control the virus

Searing heat may have played a role in the infections of five workers who fell ill last week while culling a large flock of chickens infected with the #H5N1 virus in Colorado, health officials said Tuesday.

By Brenda Goodman, CNN
Published Jul 17, 2024

"Searing heat may have played a role in the infections of five workers who fell ill last week while culling a large flock of chickens infected with the H5N1 virus in Colorado, health officials said Tuesday.

“'At the time transmission is thought to have occurred, Colorado was experiencing 104-plus-degree heat,' and it was probably hotter inside the barns, said Dr. #NiravShah, principal deputy director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC is investigating the outbreak along with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

"This made the use of personal protective equipment (#PPE) a challenge, Shah said.

"In addition, to bring down temperatures in the sweltering barns, large industrial fans were blowing, moving air as well as dust and feathers. #Feathers from infected birds are known to carry the H5N1 virus.

“'We understand those large fans … were moving so much air … the workers were finding it hard to maintain a good seal or a good fit either between the mask or with eye protection,' Shah said.

"Four of the Colorado cases have been confirmed by the CDC. A fifth tested positive at a state lab and has been sent to the CDC for confirmation.

"The incident has quickly doubled the number of #FarmWorkers known to be infected with H5N1 virus in the United States, and it is the largest number of workers known to be infected in connection with a single farm.

"In 2022, a poultry worker tested positive for H5N1 in Colorado. This year, four other farm workers have tested positive — one in #Texas, two in #Michigan and another in #Colorado — after working with infected #DairyCattle. Cases are believed to be undercounted because farm workers are often reluctant to be tested for fear of losing work and income."

I'm spending the afternoon waiting on a flight at the Denver airport. Brought a basic fly tying kit to keep myself entertained. This hook is a Partridge Salmon Series Single in size 6. Going for small and sparse.

#FlyFishing #Flytying #fishing #feathers #wool

A fly fishing lure sitting on a small plastic box. The shank of the hook is wrapped in green wool. I have wound a few strands of shiny purple Angelina fiber over the wool. Near the head of the fly, the underwing consists of mixed dark feather fibers and light elk hair. The wing itself is formed from a pair of speckled quail feathers. At the head, purple silk thread binds the materials to the hook.
