this heron was hunting fish and very good at it, ever so quick and I saw him/her catch several fish in a matter of minutes.
The wildlife within Yellowstone NP encounter daily struggles in their survival ... especially in the winter season. Not only are they exposed to extreme temperatures and weather conditions, but food is also scarce, and the predators are always lurking for their next meal.
This image was taken while on a tour of Yellowstone NP about a month ago. We were fortunate to encounter a great variety of wildlife while there, including several sightings of elk. The numbers of elk however were less than I had anticipated. This gal was actively feeding on the shoreline vegetation along the winter. She rooted around through the snow for some tasty nibbles, but always remained on alert for intruders.
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.

Alert Leopard (Panthera pardus) in a fork of a Sausage Tree. I am sure from its look, it knew everything that was going on. Image taken in the Serengeti of Tanzania.
We had another peaceful night last night :)
Have been searching around for a puppy class to enrol Cash in. The two I've contacted I've heard no response back from yet. But I think it will be really beneficial to both Cash & myself.
He's off to meet Missy in a couple of hours and have one of his first trips out in the car. Wish us luck!
These gregarious animals are often seen in groups, and several families may live together in a large community. Squirrel-sized meerkats are mongooses famed for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the southern African plains where they live. Mothers can even nurse their young while standing.
Meerkats (also called suricates) work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet. Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
Meerkat groups utilize several different burrows and move from one to another. Each burrow is an extensive tunnel-and-room system that remains cool even under the broiling African sun. Females give birth to two to four young each year in one of the group's burrows. Fathers and siblings help to raise meerkat young, teaching them to play and forage and alerting them to the ever present danger from above. Young meerkats are so fearful of predatory birds that even airplanes will send them diving for cover.
