Encompassing more than 69,000 acres, the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, Illinois, is the largest forest preserve district in the United States, providing many opportunities for Chicago area residents to escape from the urban grind. But in places where bike paths and hiking trails abut busy highways, it’s a good idea to stay alert, lest one of those vehicles whizzing past should suddenly veer out of control. For a look at what can happen, check out the shot in the first comment, taken a couple of years ago at almost the same spot as the image above.
HFF!
The prairie dogs went on alert when this bison dropped and started to scratch its back rolling on the ground. Not something you want to be near or 'under'.
Capture made in North Dakota.
An Columbia White-tailed deer - an endangered species - is on alert in dense fog at Ridgefield, Washington.
This scrub jay was very watchful, looking at the people walking by, but not shying away. Near the Willamette River, downtown Portland.
Indian wild dogs, also known as dholes (Cuon alpinus) are highly social and intelligent predators found in forests across South and Southeast Asia. They are known for their distinctive reddish-brown fur, erect ears, and bushy tails.
These animals play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance but are classified as endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.
Its alert eyes reflect deep intelligence, primal curiosity, and mastery of its environment ---symbolizing independence, resilience, and quiet strength as it navigates a winter forest.
Taken while I was out skiing. I was hoping the encounter would last a little longer, but it was only for a fleeting moment and then it was gone. In that moment we shared a similar connection, we are both lone wolves preferring the silence winter brings.
*I just can't wait until the holidays are over!

The Tree Swallow—which is most often seen in open, treeless areas—gets its name from its habit of nesting in tree cavities. They also take readily to nest boxes. Migrating and wintering Tree Swallows can form enormous flocks numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They gather about an hour before sunset and form a dense cloud above a roost site (such as a cattail marsh or grove of small trees), swirling around like a living tornado. With each pass, more birds drop down until they are all settled on the roost.
Thanks for stopping. Have a fantastic day :)
An Eastern Cottontail perks up upon hearing us walk nearby.

This Coastal Brown Bear was cooling down on a very warm day by lying in some shallow water, when something caught its attention. Not for long however. He settled back down right after this shot was taken.

Today starts a non-themed series on my photo stream. The only thing the next few posts will have in common is that I will pick them randomly based on what moves me each morning.
My Canon RP has a built in fur-ball detector, complete with cute-o-meter! This little masked lapwing chick set all the alerts going at once!
Taken in our local village lake where it and its three siblings can wander safely in the residents front gardens.
Happy Feathery Friday!
A lone Brown Thrasher briefly made an appearance on the lawn. They're pretty elusive, so the fact that this one tolerated us for so long was a nice surprise
New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
Watching for insects to snack on.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
Rock hyrax (Procavia capensis), also called rock badger, rock rabbit, or Cape hyrax is a mediium sized mammal that lives in Africa. In the wild it is known to use sentries to watch for predators. Despite its size, it is the closest living relative to the elephant and the manatee! Seen in the Kopje Habitat of Africa Rocks, San Diego Zoo. Conservation status: least concern
Peafowl is a common name for three bird species in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens. Male peafowl are known for their piercing calls and their extravagant plumage, which is especially prominent in the Asiatic species, which have an eye-spotted 'tail' or 'train' of covert feathers, which they display as part of a courtship ritual.
Despite the length and size of the covert feathers, the peacock is still capable of flight. The peafowl lives mainly on the ground in open forests or on cultivable lands where it forages for berries and grains, and also preys on snakes, lizards and small rodents. It makes loud calls, which makes it easier to detect, and are often used to indicate the presence of a predator in the forest areas. It forages on the ground in small groups and usually escapes on foot through undergrowth and avoids flying, though it flies into tall trees to roost. 12496
The Wilson's Snipe and Greater Yellow legs at Virginia Lake look very alert and aware of what is going on around them in this shot but at other times they go about their business as though unaware of us
