I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

An encore to bird week, I had to add this little guy that I managed to catch on Friday afternoon. He was standing on a nesting box and chatting away. They return to the nest 10 to 20 times per hour, so if you find a nest, usually in a dead tree (thus the name), or a birdhouse, camp out and you’ll get the shot!
Tree swallows have iridescent feathers on their back, and I was wondering if that looks different in infrared? I’ll have to go back and find out.

After 200 shots, I managed to catch this male Red-breasted Merganser earning his breakfast. He was a ways out and it was very overcast, so this isn’t that great of an image, but I wanted to show it off.
As amazing as this snap was, it is still a consolation prize to me. I was out walking the day before and when I got down to Lake Harriet, there were 13 loons in one area. Everyone there was impressed, pointing, staring and talking about it. I was on a long walk and didn’t have time to go home and get the camera and come back that day. When I returned the next morning, the loons were gone, so I hunted Mergansers.
