This adult female Bald Eagle came flying out to chase away an Osprey that had flown in a little too close to the Eagle's nest.
1501 kicks out a fine head of steam as it starts the climb up Highley Bank. The nickname Raging Bull is well earned considering the noise it made too.
savute plains, a leopard is trying to approach a kudu .
those big cats have a slow approach technique during which a minimal error makes the hunting fail.
a leopard must approach about 10/15 meters from the prey to have a good chance..it then makes a brief and an explosive charge(uo to 60kmh) ,pounching on its prey and dispatching it with bite to the neck.leopards do not have the aptitude to chase their quarry over any kind of distance.many of their preys are faster and can be caught only with an ambush.despite what we think,researchers believe that each individual leopard accounts for 20/40 kills a year.
of course if preys are small or stolen from hyenas and lions they have to hunt much more.
the leopard intraspecific natural enemies are baboons (one of the leopard favorite meal too) ,hyenas and wild dogs can steal them the preys.
but only the male lions can catch and kill easily an adult leopard.
the lion females are used to attack leopards but usually with the purpose to intimidate them.lion females are more tolerant towards other animals not considered as food.
the lion males instead have an instinct that brings them to kill all the possible competitors and they do it.
in savute there are notorius lion prides and leopards must stay always on alert.
anyway the leopard remain maybe the most beautiful african predator ,a deadly form of perfection.

I completely forgot about this shot from a couple weeks back. We had been watching this Western Screech-Owl for a short time after it came to the edge of the nest box. We had taken some shots and Elliot had gone to the restroom before we left.
While I was waiting for him, a California Scrub Jay had taken umbrage to the owl being outside the box. It squawked and landed on top of the nest box warning the owl it wasn't happy. My lens was too long to capture both in the shot but you can clearly see the defense posture by the WSO.
The green bees don't like to see anyone sitting and enjoying lunch on their flowers. They will dive-bomb and knock off anybody they see, including, other green bees, both male and female, other halictid bees, honey bees and skippers.
Been trying to get this shot for a while, and still not happy with it, but it's the best out of the last 100 attempts. I should probably be taking video.
ごちそうさまでした(｡☌ᴗ☌｡)💕

🎼: Heart Attack ~ Demi Lovato~
Putting my defenses up
Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack
Never put my love out on the line
Never said yes to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough
When I don’t care
I can play ‘em like a Ken doll
Won’t wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball
But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yeah you, make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand
(dang good thing I know CPR and more ... LOL)
A regiment of Union troop reenactors pause to reload during a mock battle at a U. S. Civil War reenactment in Hainesville, Illinois, last weekend. The background beyond the trees is obscured by smoke from cannon fire that was filling the air.
I got the opportunity to see a Green Heron flying near our pond two evenings ago. I heard it before I saw it, so I knew to grab my camera and scan the sky. They're not very big, but they're unique so it wasn't too hard to find.
I was surprised to find some red-winged black birds chasing it through the sky, likely attacking as a way of protecting their babies and territory. (If you know, you know).
This is one of the pictures I managed to capture of one of the red-winged blackbirds going after the green heron as it tries to land on a tree.
It was fun to watch. I hope you enjoy the picture!

The Limpkin had been peacefully feeding when the grackle came by and began to attack him. Fortunately it did not last long but they are definitely fierce attackers . They will even go after the snail kites and eagles. Amazing to watch nature in action !!!
Wishing you a great and blessed Tuesday !!!!!!
the mealworms. Haha
Lots of sun today, giving me a chance to bundle up and get some shots.

Taken in July on the Farne Islands. I was using my camera to protect my head and thought hey, let's capture the little buggers while they attack. After taking around a hundred shots I had 2 I thought were good enough to keep!!!
Thank God for digital Cameras.
Gas masks displayed in the WW1 exhibition, Australian War Memorial, Canberra, ACT.
The Australian Imperial Force experienced gas attacks in most actions on the Western Front.
Gas bombardment of a wood at Messines led to 1,374 casualties, of which 310 were fatal.
Gas masks saved lives but also caused fatalities. They were extremely uncomfortable and hampered the movement of the men, inducing fatigue, disorientation and confusion.

The sound was one I won't soon forget.
We all have the same journey, existing and dying. Nature doing it, we don't need to do the killing-job of the nature for each other. Our enemies are sicknesses.
