Before Monday comes I leave you with the usual #sandysunday #picture!

I know that in the east provinces/departmens/regions/states is already Monday but we are still behind the clock here ;)
The image shows a clear blue sky and a long strip of land that is surrounded by the sea on the horizon. Small bushes are seen in the land as also dusty dark colour rocks, orange soil and white sands in the horizon

If there are two countries getting pounded this cyclone season in the southern belt, they are Madagascar and Australia; with the sad difference that Madagascar has far less leverage against disasters… u.u

Lemon came to sign during the afternoon, he did not came with its flock which is weird. Maybe they were not around today? or they moved due to the last low temperatures and Lemon is the first to come back after the weather got warmer!

Look! an arrow shaped Micrathena making a nest for its little cuties! Last time, I had to move a leaf filled with spider babies because I almost drowned them while watering the plants.

I took this pic some weeks ago when they were making their nests!

#spider #invertebrates #arachnids
An arrow shaped Micrathena, which is a spider with a lime-green–toned abdomen and two sets of horns: one larger set pointing backward, cream and brown in color with black tips, and a smaller set pointing forward and upward with the same tones. The head has a brown tone. The spider is working on a dry leaf, closing it to create a nest for its babies.

Remember when I said that the northern tropical belt was finally closing out its season? Well… we have the third storm of the official season (including Koto, which ended on December 2).

One thing that is increasing here is what has been happening for years in x/Facebook/ig/etc

fake accounts, reposting political stuff (which seems adapted to you), trying to get your follows or likes, weird accounts with sexy pics that I assume are used to slowly hoard users… 🤦
A strange account reposting other accounts (mostly political) which automatic tools detect might be fake due to images appearing at other places.

The cold front has come to the gulf arch (USA/MEX/CUBA) and look at that cloud area bringing cold weather from there cross between Newfundland & Labrador to the border between Veracruz & Puebla.

That is around ~5000km, more or less the same distance from South Portugal to the Ural Mountains 😬!

Is pass storm season in the North Pacific and it is not abnormal per se, but the west of the northern tropical belt is highly active when the season hasn't officially started yet...

Below the equator on the other side, they went north on their season (pun intended)

Water temperature, is another history… the gulf is swim and surf ready, the problem is the air temperature.

Keep saying it, the damn pacific it’s still warm as hell to be January… ( that is why we have a tropical storm at the Philippines ).

Which explains why the left side of the subcontinent is freezing while the west is… yeah! let’s go for an ice cream!

#birds
The image shows a plumber kite (a medium sized raptor) perched on a tree branch against a clear blue sky. The bird has smooth gray plumage, long pointed wings folded at its sides, and a long, dark tail with lighter banding near the tip. Its eyes are strikingly red, and its legs and feet are orange, gripping the branch firmly. Sparse branches with small leaves surround it, suggesting a dry or lightly wooded environment. This image shows a Clark's nutcracker, a medium-sized bird perched on a conifer branch against a bright blue sky. The bird has soft gray plumage overall, with darker black wings that feature a distinct white patch. Its tail is pale gray to whitish, and it has a sturdy, pointed black bill suited for cracking seeds. The eye appears dark and alert. The bird is standing calmly among green needle-like leaves, suggesting a mountainous or forested habitat. Its posture is upright and attentive, as if watching its surroundings from the branch.

#birds
A Western Bluebird perched on a branch, with a background of dry branches that contrasts nicely with the bird’s blue tones. The bird has vivid blue plumage on its head, back, and parts of its wings and tail, with a slight shift toward a purplish hue. Its breast is reddish-brown, while the belly and undertail show a slightly dirty white plumage. A middle American screeching owl over the branch of a tree with its yellow eyes wide open as surprises as the flash lights on to take a picture. The plumage of the owl is a reddish brown plumage with some grey tones between its feathers.

More water birds from several days ago! The cormorants are friendly as always, and the american white ibises are slightly shyer than usual! In this case, we have a juvenile Double crested Cormorant (brown one), an adult Neotropic Cormorant (the black one), and juvenile ibises (hundreds!).

#birds
A juvenile Double crested Cormorant in the water is looking toward the camera. The juvenile has dark brown plumage and a yellow beak. Its eyes appear blue in the photo, and the feathers on its neck still look like fur. An adult Neotropic Cormorant. The bird shows its blue-greenish eyes, which create an amazing contrast against its very dark feathers. Only its head, neck, and wings are visible, as the bird is slightly opening its wings to dry them. Its beak has a worn brownish-yellow tone at the base of the lower mandible, and the rest of the beak shows small white streaks along with some black ones. A juvenile ibis is seen on the branches of the top of tree, while grabbing a branch of the tree with its long a recurved beak. A juvenile American white ibis is seen on the branches of the top of tree, showing its profile and its juvenile plumage consisting on brown, grey and white feathers with a slightly brown beak.

Whoops, the South Pacific and South Indian oceans are fully in cyclone and typhoon season in the south, but even more incredible, the northern belt has woken up… with a tropical storm moving toward the Philippines in January!

Couple of days ago, in the Gulf region, I saw many juvenile wood storks and juvenile other coastal/sea birds. Among them, I also saw a good number of juvenile gulls, like these young Laughing Gulls, as well as an adult ❤️🌊!

Not the nicest pics but have to ask permission to get the cam...

#birds
A large wood stork showing its upper body left profile; the individual still a juvenile, as it has not yet lost its neck feathers. The bird has a featherless black face, a large beak that is slightly curved and pale yellow with a dark base, and plumage that is mostly white on the body, with the exception of dark areas on the wings. A large, still-juvenile wood stork looking at the camera from afar, slightly bent forward. A juvenile Laughing Gull standing on just one of its dark, obsidian toned, palmated feet. The bird still shows its juvenile plumage, which consists of white and gray feathers with a dark beak. An adult Laughing Gull showing its full body profile as it looks to the left. The bird shows gray plumage on the back and wings, as well as dark feathers on the tail with some white bands, and white feathers on the rest of the body, with the exception of gray patches beside its ears and below its eyes. Its beak has a dark tone at the tip and a more brown, wood toned color at the base.

Cool! I’m going to start a podcast with people who shouldn’t be on a podcast*!

This is a nice feature for many people around here 🌊!

"When Harvard astronomer XXXXX speaks, the science world listens"

*I almost choke with my own coffee 😵‍💫*...

CHANGE “THE SCIENCE WORLD” TO “THE GRIFTER COMMUNITY” and you end up with the real community echoing his views.

So far 608 bird species visiting me; two new ones detected in the past few weeks too (there are even more :3)

Ngaiognome, W Commons, CC BY SA, 4.0, Slate throated redtstart
Charles J. Sharp, W Commons, CC BY SA, 4.0 Northern Potoo

#birds
A slate-throated redstart perched on a tree branch, with an out-of-focus canopy behind it. The bird shows its yellow, mustard-colored breast as well as its black, obsidian back, wings, and head. Beneath its tail, some white feathers can be seen, along with a red patch on the top of its head. A Northern Potoo is perched on a piece of wood. The bird has plumage that resembles the aged surface of a tree, providing excellent camouflage. Its head is large, and its big yellow eyes allow it to see at night. Part of the Nyctibiidae family, it is a crepuscular bird that resembles an owl.
