A grizzly bear is hard at work digging for clams early in the morning at low tide in the Khutzeymateen estuary. Notice how you can see the long fingers/claws digging into the sand. In the springtime the grizzlies supplement their sedge grass diet with clams and other intertidal species that they scavenge along the beaches at low tide.

This Lyrebird was busy digging underneath the Rhododendron and other trees at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Park and was not particularly worried at the small group of watchers.
You can often find them busy scratching away in the undergrowth. Menura novaehollandiae. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird
This Honey Bee, like one of many visits our garden several times a day to collect that much sought after gold to make into honey. The beauty of nature just amazes me !!
During a lull in a period of heavy rain, Galatea, in its new identity as Alberta, gets to grips with the long climb to Aisgill as it passes Stockber with the southbound Waverley of 23rd August 2020.
The LS&I is usually a very efficient railroad and trains move quick. I saw the storm approaching and figured there could be a neat shot, but I wouldn't be able to see them coming from my truck. Hiding under a tree the rain kept intensifying until it was a strong down pour. They were crawling trying to make the hill and it seemed like an eternity before they rolled around the corner into Queens. Soaked to the bone.
This image captures a Spotted Towhee digging through show looking for a morsel to snack on. I captured it in my yard in Lassen County, California, USA.
The meerkat (Suricata suricatta) or suricate is a small carnivoran in the mongoose family. It is the only member of the genus Suricata. Meerkats live in all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana, in much of the Namib Desert in Namibia and southwestern Angola, and in South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a mob, gang or clan. A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats, but some super-families have 50 or more members. In captivity, meerkats have an average life span of 12–14 years, and about 6–7 years in the wild. Meerkats are primarily insectivores, but also eat other animals (lizards, snakes, scorpions, spiders, eggs, small mammals, millipedes, centipedes and, more rarely, small birds), plants and fungi. Meerkats are immune to certain types of venom, including the very strong venom of the scorpions of the Kalahari Desert. A meerkat has the ability to dig through a quantity of sand equal to its own weight in just seconds. Digging is done to create burrows, to get food and also to create dust clouds to distract predators. R_9342
The Ibis is built for digging. Typically, they come right after a rain when the critters come to the surface.
I took this sunset at St Ives in 2007 and tbh i did little at all in the way of new post work but i did upsize it in a minute or so. i have two upsizers and in this instance I used Gigapixel.. Jonathan was reading on Drs.Net ( they even have a photography forum on the site ) how easy it was to remove copyright symbols too now. AI is becoming a monster but I do find the upsizer useful for my old shots..Sue :)
Set of thee oldies again and comments are still off. We were supposed to be on holiday this fine weather week but things have not gone to plan...nothing new there and its not health related i'm thankful to add. !
I must admit that it does not smell like roses to lay down next to the roting vegetation while observing these peeps having a feast.... it is however a fascinating scene.
This is the first time I have seen a Spotted Sandpiper dig so deeply for food.

What turned out to be my personal favorite from my run up the Santa Barbara Subdivision following the LOF66/67 (Guadalupe Hauler). Was Union Pacific 2717 hitting the straight track in the middle of the siding at Devon at the Associated Road grade crossing. The train hit a PTC wall at Narlon (unknown switch position) which played to my advantage since I had begun to head to Surf but turned around due to dense fog. After the crew got PTC functioning again the train was back to working toward the top of the Casmalia Hills.The train is showing off a fairly good profile of what's heading into the Santa Maria Valley from empty reefers to a load of John Deere equipment.
This little hoverfly is only about 3 millimeters in size. The flower itself is about an inch across. He was having a field day on this little aster.
