It only took 9 years .... American Dipper (Cinclus mexicanus)

At last after a 9 year wait!

The first time I saw an American Dipper was in November 2014. I was on a Bald Eagle workshop with Moose Peterson in Haines, Alaska. It was a very dull and dark day and I saw this tiny (compared to Bald Eagles) quickly working along the river bank. I asked what it was and Moose said an American Dipper. Of course the light was so poor I couldn’t get a good image. Unfortunately, I did not see it…

Richard Burton as Henry V at Stratford’s Shakespeare Memorial theatre in 1951.

“No writer hit me with quite the same impact as Shakespeare. What a stupendous God he was, he is... It seems that he wrote everything worth writing and the rest of the fraternity have merely fugued on his million themes.”

- Richard Burton

I didn’t manage to cosplay Richard iii (the version of Richard in Requiem of the Rose King) to pay homage upon the place his head was displayed as a rebel and traitor within his own home, York, fuelled with obscene rumours to the point where it was said he was in his parents womb for 2 years and a demonic monster over his body, and it was believed, over trying to rule during the War of the Roses.

Amongst downfalls, rumours are spread to ready a more secure a more loved position and angelic assumed appearance for the ones taking over as not to allow for a mutiny essentially and uproar against the new ones replacing them to take over, and cover ups to present a new line as Good, and only Good for the people.

It is said he obviously had his wrongs, but comparably it was better to a lot during that time of who was veering for power.

There’s a lot of false poison placed as fact, much which was never proved, and much which was just obvious bull now we look at it these days, and this was done to remove the return of certain families during War which threatened those who wanted to have their status.

The utmost end point is to secure a throne, and people will do absolutely anything.

This place is known as the Micklegate Bar, many people have passed beneath it and many heads have been presented upon it, it is the southern entrance to York.

I made it here, and I’m glad. A rich piece of history of a truly awful time upon these islands.

Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea)

Spring Bird Migration USA This visit to Maggee Marsh Wildlife Area in Ohio is the first time that I have seen the Prothonotary Warbler. It is quite different from most other Warblers to look at as it does not have a distinctive cap or stripes along the body. Yes it does have a distinctive shade of yellow, as do many warblers. In fact the name is because the plumage represents the yellow of robes…
