A White-winged Dove (Zenaida asiatica) was standing on a Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) vine in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on November 16, 2025. The bird seemed to me to be trying to decide whether I was a dangerous human or the human that feeds birds, to flee or not to flee. Long ago, there were none of this species this far north, but they have been expanding their range.

An American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) was standing on the top of an Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana) watching everything that happened in the neighborhood in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on November 16, 2025. The crow shouted warning of danger and impropriety or shouted news of fresh bird seed being distributed. If the red-shouldered hawk comes, the rest of the murder can arrive quickly and drive it away.

This is Lough Eske in County Donegal, Ireland on August 4, 2013. In Gaelic it was originally called "fish lake". When the kingdom of Tirconaill was ruled by the O'Donnell family, there was an O'Donnell castle at the edge of this lake. The Bluestack Mountains, also called the Croaghgorms, are in the background beyond the lake.

Legend says one can see Scotland from here, but the ewe seemed skeptical to me. This ewe was guarding her lamb at Stroove, Moville, Donegal, Ireland. The photo was made on August 4, 2013, looking North East from above an Inishowen cliff. Columbcille (St. Columba) is said to have left from near this place when he exiled himself to Scotland. Distant mountains are barely visible across the ocean.
