In honor of my day, ice, snow, and/or shovel!

from one of my various foth winter-fics:

“Does the loch ever freeze over, in the winter?” Keith had learned, in the month of travel and settling in at home again, that Ewen was often more easily drawn from a dark mood if he was asked something that concerned his land, for to inquire after Ardroy was to inquire after Ewen’s heart as well. “Oh, yes — but if you are intending to cross over to the island on the ice, I cannot say that I recommend the attempt,” said Ewen, with an odd little contemplative smile.

and from the other winter-fic:

Keith, his face well practiced in its grimness, struggled upright, all his resolve evidently focused on remaining on his feet. Ewen reached out to steady him, a pang of worry driving his grip on Keith’s forearm. “I’ve walked off worse before,” said Keith, speaking through clenched teeth, but he did not refuse Ewen’s hand as he offered it. He dusted snow from his coat, where it had collected thick and sticky in his fall, unable to hide the other consequence of his misstep so easily.

and for an immense tonal shift, from the flintlock fortress prequel set during Ansel's medical school days:

“Well? Would you like to come along?” The shovel he was attempting to hide behind his back was quite obvious.

#em writes stuff #heronposting #flintlock fortress #DOUBLE WINTER HERON LADS ATTACK! #hopefully the current snow-and-cold state of things going on right now actually inspires me to work on those two #and about the third one. Yes they are going to go dig up a body together. #best of luck with your own snowy endeavors!

BOTD: Snowy Egret

Photo: Mick Thompson

"A beautiful, graceful small egret, very active in its feeding behavior in shallow waters. Known by its contrasting yellow feet, could be said to dance in the shallows on golden slippers. The species was slaughtered for its plumes in the 19th century, but protection brought a rapid recovery of numbers, and the Snowy Egret is now more widespread and common than ever. Its delicate appearance is belied by its harsh and raucous calls around its nesting colonies."

I'm on a Surgeon Simulator mini-fixation right now and I need you guys to listen to this track. It goes SO HARD. Especially for what is basically a comedy game about an inept surgeon.

trick or treat!!

You get a personal one! Or should I say, three? The Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, the great egret, Ardea alba, and the snowy egret, Egretta thula!

(A snowy egret and great egret together, source)

Great and snowy egrets share similar ranges in most of the United States, all of Central America, and almost all of South America excluding the Andes Mountains. The great egret's range also extending a tiny bit into eastern Canada during migration. The great blue heron's range expands across the entirety of the United States and Central America and into Canada, as well as extending a little bit into northern South America.

I say this is a personal example because when I was volunteering at a wildlife rescue center in Florida, a trio of these guys always hung around, waiting for volunteers to feed the resident shorebirds so they could steal the fish off the trays on their way to the habitat (which was enclosed and thus protected from anyone trying to steal their food). I've had the egrets flagrantly following behind me as I walked.

(The following pictures are all mine)

(This was in the back. The great egret was waiting for me to finish preparing the fish.)

(This is right outside the resident shorebird enclosure. They are stalking me.)

(The egrets are a bit hidden but all three of them are in this one!)
