Three Mule Deer paying close attention to the guy sticking his camera out of the window of the rolling rental car blind. They didn't care much for the mirror slap and turned to run about a second or two after this shot.
This trio was hanging out just after sunrise near the road through the prairie of Badlands National Park.
There's not much that would bother a Sparrowhawk in an urban garden (probably a domestic cat) but they're on full alert at all times. Not long after this was taken it flew away with its prey (Starling).
There are a lot of mule deer near the base of the eastern hills in the Bear Lake Valley, Idaho. The snow isn't as deep there so they usually find food, but they still look very thin. They watched us carefully but stayed near their food source instead of running away. We hope the plants start to leaf out soon so these beautiful animals can survive.
Brown Hare, despite the end of the breeding season these hares are still showing regularly, I sit for hours watching their antics sometimes I think they're watching me as well.

Second installment of my Badlands National Park wildlife series.
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.
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!
An Columbia White-tailed deer - an endangered species - is on alert in dense fog at Ridgefield, Washington.
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.

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family that is unique in its speed, while lacking climbing abilities. Therefore it is placed in its own genus, Acinonyx.
It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 110 km/h in three seconds, faster than most supercars.
The adult cheetah weighs from 40 to 65 kg. Its total body length is from 115 to 150 cm, while the tail can measure up to 85 cm in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than females and have slightly bigger heads. The cheetah's chest is deep and its waist is narrow. The coarse, short fur of the cheetah is tan with round black spots measuring from 2 to 3 cm across, affording it some camouflage while hunting. There are no spots on its white underside, but the tail has spots, which merge to form four to six dark rings at the end. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes.
There are several geographically isolated populations of cheetah, all of which are found in Africa or Southwestern Asia. The cheetah likes to live in an open biotope, such as semi-desert, prairie, and thick brush, though it can be found in a variety of habitats.
De jachtluipaard, gepard of cheeta(h) (Acinonyx jubatus) is een groot katachtig roofdier dat nog voorkomt in Afrika en Iran. Het is de enige nog levende soort uit het geslacht Acinonyx.
De jachtluipaard staat bekend als het snelste landdier ter wereld., en kan bij korte afstanden van maximaal circa 500 meter 112 tot 120 km halen. Hij is slank, flexibel en gespierd gebouwd, als een hazewindhond, met een krachtige borst, een lange staart en voor een katachtige zeer lange poten, waarmee hij zich hard kan afzetten.
De jachtluipaard heeft een licht gele vacht, die bedekt is met kleine, ronde, zwarte vlekken. De onderzijde en borst zijn bijna geheel wit. De kop is vrij klein, met kleine oren en grote, oranje ogen. Van de binnenste ooghoeken tot de mond loopt een zwarte streep, en ook de onderlippen zijn zwart. De achterzijde van oren heeft een zwarte en witte markering. De staart is gevlekt, maar heeft bij de top een reeks van zwarte ringen en eindigt in een zwarte staartpunt. De vorm van de ringen en de hoeveelheid verschilt per dier, vergelijkbaar met de vingerafdruk voor de mens.
Over de ondernek en schouders loopt, vooral bij jonge cheeta's, een opvallende maan van lang haar.
Een volwassen dier weegt tussen 35 en 65 kg, maar gemiddeld 50 kg. De kop-romplengte is 110 tot 150 cm, en de staart kan 65 tot 90 cm lang zijn. De schouderhoogte is gemiddeld 80 cm.
De jachtluipaard leeft in droge, open savannen en in struikgebieden. Hij kan overal overleven waar voldoende prooidieren zijn en het terrein open genoeg is om te kunnen rennen. Hij heeft een voorkeur voor gebieden met schuilplaatsen, vanwaar hij prooi kan besluipen..

Rufous Whistler (Pachycephala rufiventris) male
Diving back into the archives today, I may have to go back even further before our lock-down ends.
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 :)
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
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.

I love all the nature that surrounds my home here in the country, especially the wildlife I get to see everyday.
