These guys sure make a loud racket on their breeding lakes and ponds in Alaska. They raise their crest and call loudly in courtship and territorial defense.

This powerful image captures an adult rhinoceros wandering through the red sands of Namibia. A symbol of resilience and quiet strength, the rhino embodies the wild spirit of Africa’s vast and breathtaking landscapes.

Two stunning sable antelopes stand gracefully in the warm glow of Namibia's golden light. With their elegant, curved horns and deep brown coats, they embody the untamed beauty of the African savanna. A true testament to the majestic wildlife of Namibia.

As the sun began to set over the Peruain Amazon, this pair of Lineated Woodpeckers landed on this eposed dead tree, setting up the perfect shot I'd been eyeing this dead tree for a few days, and after all the students had left, I had the opportunity to sit and wait for the woodpeckers to come so I could make this image.

• Solitary Song •

If you drive through the salt marshes and spartina grasses at Ananias NWR, you can often hear the chips and buzzing of the Seaside Sparrow. Although these sparrows are known to lay low in the tall grasses, if you’re patient enough you can find one singing on an exposed branch or twig.

Clark’s Grebes often stretch, sending little riders into the lake. This grebette seems to be enjoying it, as a child enjoys a piggy back ride while a parent gallops around.

From this month's trip. We photographed this bird shortly after it snowed! What a strange month.

A charming image of a Namibian ground squirrel standing upright while nibbling on fresh grass. Captured in the arid landscapes of Namibia, this delightful moment showcases the resilience and beauty of small wildlife.

The dancing tanchōzuru:

With wings slightly raised and heads held high, a pair of red-crowned cranes begin to march, their broad, three-toed feet puncturing the snow as they trumpet loudly and steam rises from their beaks. The male calls first, followed closely by the female—several notes in quick succession, strengthening their bond. But this vocal parade is just the prelude.

Now the pair begin to dance, bowing heads, flapping wings, leaping up and down and spinning around, sometimes picking up sticks and leaves and tossing them in the air. Their momentum triggers other couples to do the same, then the juveniles join in, until the whole flock is in motion—mesmerising flashes of red, black and white, flickering across the snowfields. It’s a sight worth going a long way to see.

Autumn colours really being out the best in colour. Photo was taken as I was leaving the park but the tree maybe think.

Ce bébé chimpanzé trouve refuge et sécurité sous la protection de sa mère. Un lien puissant, instinctif, universel. Le rapport mère-enfant n’est pas l’exclusivité des humains : la tendresse, la vigilance, l’amour se lisent aussi dans les gestes du règne animal.

A black-backed jackal stands alert in the golden hues of Namibia’s rugged landscape. With piercing eyes and a sleek coat blending seamlessly into the arid terrain, this intelligent predator embodies the untamed spirit of Africa’s wilderness. Captured in perfect light, this moment highlights the raw beauty of Namibia’s incredible wildlife.

Long-tailed Shrike

The long-tailed shrike or rufous-backed shrike (Lanius schach) is a member of the bird family Laniidae, the shrikes. They are found widely distributed across Asia and there are variations in plumage across the range. The species ranges across much of Asia, both on the mainland and the eastern archipelagos. The eastern or Himalayan subspecies, L. s. tricolor, is sometimes called the black-headed shrike. Although there are considerable differences in plumage among the subspecies, they all have a long and narrow black tail, have a black mask and forehead, rufous rump and flanks and a small white patch on the shoulder. It is considered to form a superspecies with the grey-backed shrike (Lanius tephronotus) which breeds on the Tibetan Plateau.

The long-tailed shrike is a typical shrike, favouring dry open habitats and found perched prominently atop a bush or on a wire. The dark mask through the eye is broad and covers the forehead in most subspecies and the whole head is black in subspecies tricolor and nasutus. The tail is narrow and graduated with pale rufous on the outer feathers. Subspecies erythronotus has the grey of the mantle and upper back suffused with rufous while the southern Indian caniceps has pure grey. A small amount of white is present at the base of the primaries. The bay-backed shrike is smaller and more contrastingly patterned and has a more prominent white patch on the wing. The sexes are alike in plumage.

The species is found across Asia from Kazakhstan to New Guinea. It is found mainly in scrub and open habitats. Many of the temperate zone populations are migratory, moving south in winter while those in the tropics tend to be sedentary although they may make short distance movements. Subspecies caniceps of southern India is found in winter in the dry coastal zone of southern India. Subspecies tricolor migrates south to Bengal in India. They are found in scrub, grassland and open land under cultivation. A survey in southern India found them to be among the commonest wintering shrikes and found at a linear density along roadsides at about 0.58 per kilometer, often choosing wires to perch.

This species is a rare vagrant to western Europe on the strength of two accepted records in Great Britain on South Uist in November 2000 and the Netherlands near Den Helder in October 2011. A bird matching the features of caniceps was seen on the island of Maldives. It has also occurred as a vagrant to Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Hungary, Japan and Sweden.

Whooper Swan

The whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus), also known as the common swan, pronounced hooper swan, is a large northern hemisphere swan. It is the Eurasian counterpart of the North American trumpeter swan, and the type species for the genus Cygnus. Francis Willughby and John Ray's Ornithology of 1676 referred to this swan as "the Elk, Hooper, or wild Swan". The scientific name is from cygnus, the Latin for "swan".

Whooper swans require large areas of water to live in, especially when they are still growing, because their body weight cannot be supported by their legs for extended periods of time. The whooper swan spends much of its time swimming, straining the water for food, or eating plants that grow on the bottom.

Whooper swans pair for life, and their cygnets stay with them all winter; they are sometimes joined by offspring from previous years. Their preferred breeding habitat is wetland, but semi-domesticated birds will build a nest anywhere close to water. Both the male and female help build the nest, and the male will stand guard over the nest while the female incubates. The female will usually lay 4–7 eggs (exceptionally 12). The cygnets hatch after about 36 days and have a grey or brown plumage. The cygnets can fly at an age of 120 to 150 days.

When whooper swans prepare to go on a flight as a flock, they use a variety of signaling movements to communicate with each other. These movements include head bobs, head shakes, and wing flaps and influence whether the flock will take flight and if so, which individual will take the lead.

They are very noisy; the calls are strident, similar to those of Bewick's swan but more resonant and lower-pitched on average: kloo-kloo-kloo in groups of three or four.

The common kingfisher also known as the Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.

Deer Creek, Ohio

October

These birds are anything but common in Ohio. This beautiful pair spent a couple days in deep boot sucking mud, but I thought the beautiful background colors made getting dirty very worth it.

Side note. I started with film, but this summer marks my 15th year with digital!
