This ruby crowned kinglet landed in a place where it wasn't completely entangled in twigs, affording a much cleaner shot than is often offered.
A very nice white-lined sphinx moth fed for a long time on the blue sage flowers and allowed me to get lots of good shots....

The Superb Starling, a Northeast African bird, uses cooperative breeding to raise its young. Both the male and the female take care of the offspring. Previous offspring may also assist in collecting nest material and feeding young, Ridges on their feathers interfere with white light to produce their metallic color. Taken at the Bird Sanctuary in Niagara Falls, Canada.
The Kingfisher was very cooperative. While I was making quite a lot of noise with the shutter of the camera, he simply ignored it and minded his business. He wasn't molested by the sound or by me (I was quite visible even if I was inside some bushes along the river).
I have to mention folks that yesterday's outing was ok and nothing like the last one, but I'll take whatever I can get. This guy was just so cooperative I just stayed with him.
I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciated your visits and kind words, never thought that Flickr would ever correct my issues.
We had just left the car when we spotted a Kestrel in a tree right next to the path. Of course I was shooting right into the sun. However, he flew over to a tree across the path and hung out for a bit and let us have a good look at him.

This very cooperative Green Heron took up a hunting perch on the stick of wood you see here. Normally they stretch out their magic neck while tightly gripping their perch with their feet, and they are strong enough to strike all the way to the surface of the water and pull themselves back into place without ever leaving the perch. In this instance, however, this guy sprung into the water to catch a small minnow. Topaz did a nice job cleaning up the noise and I removed a few small floaters on the surface of the water. (Butorides virescens) (Sony a9M3, 400mm, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 16,000!)
He was very co-operative during the photoshoot even though his attention was on some critter running around the bush .
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
Tofu is generally a very cooperative cat but his willingness to cooperate ends as soon as I need to get hold of him for whatever reason and he knows it. In such moments he tends to disappear deep in the greenery of the garden which forces me to crawl under shrubs and through the mud to reach him while Tofu just sits there and watches me. As soon as I'm close enough to catch him Tofu will (of course) dart past me and find another hideout. That kind of "game" can go on for quite a while, it's very funny for Tofu and rather exasperating for me. :)

I've found that the Red-bellied woodpecker is the easiest of the woodpeckers to photograph (2nd place is the Downy). They are quite vocal and pretty easy to locate, they present a nice medium-sized target, and they seem easier to get close to and not as skittish as some. This one poses for me very nicely out in the woods at Rocky River Reservation Metro Park so you'll be seeing quite a bit of him in the days and weeks to come.
The New Vision Cooperative facility in Hills, Minnesota has an SD9 that looks very much at home next to the BNSF Marshall Subdivision. This unit started out its like with the CBQ before working for the BN and eventually BNSF with an intermediate stop at NRE in Silvis, Illinois. Nice to see it's at home in Hills in Minnesota's southwestern corner.
I named this little dragonfly this because this was my first attempt at catching a live insect, and despite a breeze, by some miracle, I got the shot. It was because of his patience, not mine...I would look through my lens and his little head would jerk as if he were saying, "It's OK, come closer." So, I would ooch the tripod closer, look through the lens, and he would seem to invite me again. It was a great moment when I discovered that some of the shots had actually turned out, but again, much of that credit goes to him.

Cooperative Feeding
This is part of a line of almost twenty Greater Yellowlegs slowly moving across a pool in Bombay Hook NWR, apparently in a cooperative feeding behavior.
This is a case of content over quality to document this interesting behavior

Curiosity...endows the people who have it with a generosity in argument and a serenity in cheerful willingness to let life take the form it will.

This is the first ladybug I saw this year. Seeing so many wonderful ladybug images here on Flickr I wanted to take one myself. And it wasn't easy. This lady just wouldn't cooperate. She wouldn't stay still not even for one split second. I wonder how you guys get them to cooperate...

Red-tailed hawk landing on branch. First day out with new Canon EOS R5 and 800mm lens. I found this cooperative model shooting touch and goes. Was quite a sight! Seen near Florence, AZ this afternoon.
Another shot of the cooperative Fulmarus glacialis that swam up to Debra Shearwater's boat full of birders, and stayed close until every last birder had some good pictures. Nice bird!

Sambar deer and cattle egrets have a cool relationship: the egret gets a free ride and a meal, and the deer gets a clean coat and a lookout. The egret perches on the deer's back and eats ticks and other parasites, which keeps the deer healthy and free of pests. The egret's keen eyesight also helps to alert the deer to predators. In return, the egret gets a free ride to new food sources and a high vantage point from which to spot danger.
This symbiotic relationship is common in many parts of the world, where sambar deer and cattle egrets share the same habitat.
Another one! I was shooting a bee in some flowers when movement in nearby leaves caught my eye. We'd been wondering where they were, and now we've seen several in the last few days...always cooperative subjects...
I don't get much of a chance to get water foul shots as they are usually out of reach . This one came close enough to take the shot from the car . Sometime you get lucky !
This Heron was quite cooperative. He didn't seem to mind me taking shots of him from various angles.
When I first spotted him, he was backlit, so I walked to the other side to get a better shot. He didn't fly but rather posed for me in good light.
I wish all birds were like him.

A heavily cropped record shot of the much less cooperative male, which never came any closer to the hide while we were there. A little gem though. Titchfield Haven
An abandoned creamery, 600 South Railroad Avenue, WaKeeney, Kansas. This creamery was built in 1938 and has a sign on it that says "Farmers Union Cooperative Association". The building looks like it has been abandoned for many years.
This nice Fulmarus glacialis swam up to the boat full of birders and spent several minutes swimming along the starboard side, making sure that every single birder was able to get some good pictures. Wasn't that nice?

He let me take lots of photos of him in a tree, then flew to this perch and let me take more. I finally stepped over his tolerance line and he went screaming off. I was still a considerable distance from him but closer than I usually get to a male Kingfisher.

Had a great trip although it was cut short because of the coronavirus pandemic. We we lucky enough to get out just in time to avoid being stuck on a ship or in a hotel at our own cost.
