Catching Itself After Falling

Posted on May 27, 2022

A fledging snowy egret catches itself after a fall.
This fledgling snowy egret was trying to fly from branch to branch when I saw it fall. It successfully grabbed long stringy branches that hang down from the eucalyptus tree where they nest. It slowly made its way up to higher branches. I photographed this bird at the W. 9th St. rookery in Santa Rosa, CA.

An osprey flys into a nest
About 15 minutes later the original bird flew off with the fish. Its partner did not seem to want it. I photographed these birds at Lake Sonoma in Sonoma County, California.

Ford Tri-Motor

Posted on October 9, 2020

City of Port Clinton Ford Tri-Motor aircraft
The “City of Port Clinton” 5-AT-B Ford Tri-Motor airplane is based at Liberty Aviation Museum in Portage Township, Ohio. In 1925, Henry Ford, of the Ford Co., bought the Stout Metal Airplane Co., with the hopes of creating America’s first mass-produced airliners. The three-engined planes were all metal, and like Ford cars and tractors, they were well-designed, relatively inexpensive and reliable for the era. For more information link to the story in The Clinton Herald https://www.portclintonnewsherald.com/story/news/local/2015/05/19/city-port-clinton-historic-aircraft-returns/27614061/
