Downy Woodpecker

Adult Downy Woodpeckers are the smallest of North America's woodpeckers but there are many smaller species elsewhere. The total length of the species ranges from 14 to 18 cm and the wingspan from 25 to 31 cm. The Downy Woodpecker is mainly black on the upper parts and wings, with a white back, throat and belly and white spotting on the wings. There is a white bar above the eye and one below. They have a black tail with white outer feathers barred with black. Adult males have a red patch on the back of the head whereas juvenile birds display a red cap.

Dryer weather from now on.

Swan

Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. The swans' close relatives include the geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. There are six or seven species of swan in the genus Cygnus; in addition there is another species known as the Coscoroba Swan, although this species is no longer considered one of the true swans. Swans usually mate for life, though 'divorce' does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure. The number of eggs in each clutch ranges from three to eight.

Swans feed in the water and on land. They are almost entirely herbivorous, although they may eat small amounts of aquatic animals. In the water food is obtained by up-ending or dabbling, and their diet is composed of the roots, tubers, stems and leaves of aquatic and submerged plants.

Fall on a wall

A foreign-estonian posing with her artwork on an art exhibition where many of the works presented fall due to a season when the exhibition took place - fall.

Christmas ornament

One of the coolest glass-blown artistic Christmas ornaments I have ever seen. That is just so pretty and feels so nice under fingertips.

Water tower

This is one of my first shots, taken almost two years ago in Kingston, ON. Water towers seem to be very common in the urban landscape in Canada. So here is one rainy sample from Kingston.

Hare

Hares and jackrabbits are leporids belonging to the genus Lepus. A hare less than one year old is called a leveret. Hares are very fast-moving animals; the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) is able to run at speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph).The five species of jackrabbit found in central and western North America are able to run at 64 km/h, and can leap up to ten feet at a time. They live solitarily or in pairs, while a "drove" is the collective noun for a group of hares.

Normally a shy animal, the European brown hare changes its behavior in spring, when hares can be seen in broad daylight chasing one another around meadows; this appears to be competition between males to attain dominance (and hence more access to breeding females). During this spring frenzy, hares can be seen "boxing"; one hare striking another with its paws (probably the origin of the term "mad as March hare"). For a long time, this had been thought to be intermale competition, but closer observation has revealed it is usually a female hitting a male to prevent copulation.
