Just nature photos


 
Phyllostachys Atrovaginata (Congesta) shooting two springs ago. This year was not so great due to the fifteen below zero night we got with high winds. Killed off all the leaves which greatly restricts the amount of energy the plant can collect. Large amounts of energy, stored over the winter, are required for good shoots in the spring. The shoots in the pictures were a good two inches in diameter and got to 20-25 feet tall.

Trying to figure out what these guys are
NOTE: I am color blind so I'm taking a huge guess here from what I believe I see in your pic.

What is the red and white bird in Hawaii?


Paroaria coronata | red-crested cardinal

Regardless, their physical appearance is strikingly similar with their red head and crest while differing in their grey wings and white underbelly. This species is an introduced and well established resident in Hawaiʻi and has become a common sighting at mainly beach parks.
