A mallard drake powering up the pond towards me as I left to go home. This was the last in-focus shot of the morning. I threw out over a hundred failed attempts at flight captures.

I reached 21 million views early today! Thank you very much to all those who have looked at my photos!

A little blue heron with its eye on dinner, or it could be checking itself out in natures version of a mirror.

This bird was shot in lighting conditions I hate, bright high noon sunshine.

Hunting Short-eared Owl

Reddish Egret, juvenile

You can not only tell by its eyes when something has a Coyotes attention but also by its ears.

Le deuxième Petit duc à sortir de la cavité nous a donné beaucoup d'émotions. Il grimpait, retombait, regrimpait. Le voici prenant une petite pause tout en observant l'arbre sur lequel il devra faire un nouvel essai.

The second Eastern Screech Owl owlet to come out of the cavity gave us a lot of emotion to watch. It was climbing, then falling and reclimbing again. Here it is taking a little pause observing the tree on which to give it another try.

Concentration de volatiles sur un îlot de rocher dans la réserve à côté de chez moi !

Goélands, Cormorans, Tadornes casarca et Canards Pilets sont au rendez-vous !

C'est la première fois que j'assistais à ce genre de compétition et j'avoue que c'est très impressionnant. J'ai vraiment senti la puissance que le groupe propulse lors de chaque passage.

A New Holland honeyeater, Phylidonyris novaehollandiae, feeding on a Grevillea "Superb" inflorescence.

I am a relatively inexperienced bird photographer and am still getting used to the optics of a telephoto lens compared to a macro lens that I am much more used to. The photo was taken quite late in the afternoon and shot at 4000 ISO and f/7.1. I like the softness of the image.

Thank you for visiting. I appreciate the kind comments and faves very much.

so this lioness had moved forward towards the frightened warthog, which had now looked up and seen that a lioness was staring at him...I heard a strange noise and said to our guide that must be another lion nearby....he looked at me and said that isn't a lion that's a LEOPARD...by now our whole group was excited as hell to see a Leopard in the mix...after that everything happened in a frenzy and I didn't get any photos because there was far too much action....the leopard leapt off a rock behind the lions, the lions spun around to face it and with that, in the background, Pumbaa the frightened warthog, made his escape into the bushes while the Leopard took one look at all the lions and ran in the opposite direction!

Here's a link to the sound the Leopard made...which I mistook for another Lion....
