Wild Mustangs in the Eastern Sierra rear up and kick as they show aggression toward each other. We often saw behaviour such as this as we enjoyed the privilege of witnessing this magnificent herd of wild horses.
Fabulous encounter with a wonderful, totally relaxed mountain hare in the Scottish Highlands, July 2019.
I don't know what's gotten into the Canada Geese lately! They are all very vocal & looking for a fight! : )

These jays are probably one of my favourite birds with their gorgeous blue colouring and inquisitive bold behaviour. We have a couple of Steller's Jays who habitually come to visit for their peanut hand-out. (Just don't tell the neighbours across the alley, not that the neighbours want the peanuts, what I mean is, that they don't like having birds around their vegetable garden.)

Last shot of this guy from the first encounter with Elk on this early morning visit to Elk island National Park.
I am quite a rookie when it comes to Elk, but with its posture here, I am guessing that it is smelling the air. It is that pose and assumed behaviour that I found most interesting as I did not have a shot anything like this before.
I captured this guy in the Little Italy district of New York. He was holding a Stop/Go board for the traffic. He just oozed cool with his sunglasses and his amazingly patriot hard hat.
So before my usual waffling below, its so wonderful to watch this in him mode and think is this really me.
It's like a switch being thrown when I dress, its not just the many different things I go through to become her, its the attitude, mannerisms and inner feelings that change during the process.
I still get a warm glow looking back at this.
I hope and pray that maybe some some that the other me is still inside when the opportunity lands again to become my gorgeous her.
Story time....

The Sanderling (Calidris alba) is a small wader. It is a circumpolar Arctic breeder, and is a long-distance migrant, wintering south to South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia. It is highly gregarious in winter, sometimes forming large flocks on coastal mudflats or sandy beaches.
This bird is similar in size to a Dunlin, but stouter, with a thick bill. It shows a strong white wingbar in flight, and runs along the sandy beaches it prefers with a characteristic "bicycling" action, stopping frequently to pick small food items. It eats small crabs and other small invertebrates. In spring, the birds arrive on the High Arctic breeding grounds.
The winter bird is very pale, almost white apart from a dark shoulder patch. Later in the summer, the face and throat become brick-red. Sanderling behavior is distinctive. It can be told from other small wading birds, given good views, by its lack of a hind toe. (wikipedia)

The Gorner Glacier (German: Gornergletscher) is a valley glacier found on the Monte Rosa massif close to Zermatt in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is about 14 km long and 1 to 1.5 km wide. The entire glacial area of the glacier related to Gorner Glacier is 68 km², which makes it the second largest glacial system in the Alps after the Aletsch Glacier system. Numerous smaller glaciers connect with the Gorner Glacier. Gornergletscher (after which the whole system is named), Grenzgletscher, Zwillingsgletscher, Schwärzegletscher, Breithorngletscher and Theodulgletscher (although this one is actually disconnected now); also Monte Rosa Gletscher used to be connected. The main tribunary is Grenzgletscher.
An interesting feature of this glacier is Gornersee, an ice marginal lake at the confluence area of Gorner- and Grenzgletscher. This lake fills every year and drains in summer, usually as a Glacial lake outburst flood. This is one of few glacial lakes in the Alps exhibiting this kind of behaviour.
It is the source of the Gornera river which flows down through Zermatt itself. However most of its water gets captured by a water catchment station of the Grande Dixence hydroelectric power company. This water then ends up in the Lac des Dix, the main reservoir of Grande Dixence.- (Wikipedia).
I was poking about in the rocks yesterday afternoon, when this limpet (with another riding on its back) suddenly reared up on its hind legs. I grabbed this shot and got ready to take another, better composed. But the moment passed too quickly.
I spent all afternoon looking for the behaviour to be replicated in other individuals, and saw a few others, all with a 'rider' - doing something similar but none so exaggerated as this one.
What were they up to? Is this common limpet behaviour? Does anyone know?
