A Reddish Egret in early dawn light
From birdnote:
The Reddish Egret, a particularly glamorous heron, is best known for its startling antics in capturing fish. When fishing, the egret sprints across the lagoon, weaving left and right, simultaneously flicking its broad wings in and out, while stabbing into the water with its bill. Fish startled at the egret’s crazed movements become targets of that pink dagger. At times, the bird will raise its wings forward over its head, creating a shadow on the water. It then freezes in this position for minutes. Fish swim in, attracted by a patch of shade and . . . well, you know the rest.

a fox hunting
The fox was far from me, more than 100m and I was behind a fence.
He was in search of food, maybe rabbits as there is a lot of them here

Shore treasure hunting conjures up glamour, excitement and riches ripe for the discovery. The reality, however, is often different: The small industry of real-life hunters live a dream that comes with its own share of heartache and disappointment
The first house was build in the thirteenth century as a hunting lodge used by the counts and dukes of Gelre. The house was named 'Pauwenburcht' (Peacock Castle) because of the white peacocks they kept there. The dukes of Gelre used to wear the feathers on their helmets.
The present house was build in 1905 on the foundations of a house dating from the seventeenth century.
Staverden Castle is build on the foundations of a seventeenth century house.
At the backside of the house lies a small island in a pond. On the the island you can find the tomb of Eleonora. This Eleonora lived at Wildenborgh Castle, one of the eight castles of Vorden. She had a lover, who went on a crusade in the Holy Land. When he was away, another man wanted to gain her by force. When her lover returned home, he was killed by his rival. Eleonora wanted to escape this evil man and fled to Staverden, where a mighty knight lived, who gave her protection. She stayed there for the rest of her unhappy life, always dressed in black.
After her death she was buried on the island in the pond. On moonlit nights, the black lady is seen there, walking to and fro on the island, wringing her hands and lamenting about her lost love.
From the archives and just edited, A Red-tailed hawk watches me as I watch him on the same side of an Arizona butte. I was looking for anything that moved to photograph. He was looking for anything that moved for breakfast. His eyes are much better as he grabbed up a chipmunk minutes later and headed off to feed the little ones.
Taken 25 April, 2021 near Holbrook Arizona.
Normally I wouldn't post an image where the subject was flying out of frame at thirds, but in this case it just works for me..I hope you don't get bored by a few images of this shoot being posted so close together between other genres of photography... I usually like to keep my stream varied so as not to bore people to death with the same subject in a million different incremental positions...I only choose to post the best of what I capture from any given shoot and i throw the rest away.This image isn't completely noise free as I'm working with a 7D mark 1 and it's very unforgiving with noise when working over 400 ISO at 1600th shutter speed and at 7.1 aperture { Which is the sweet spot on the 7d when shooting BIF }... I really would love a 7d mark 3 and a better lens than my Sigma 150-500mm... It's a terrific lens but when you're at the full 500mm, the image quality is a bit on the soft side, and your subject is still out of full range and, you have to crop in, and with a 7d mark 1 you don't have the latitude for noise correction and crop, and it grates through my bones to throw so many potentially good captures away... Well, enough of my rant...
Please press L on your keyboard for the best view...Thanks in advance for any faves and comments...Always appreciated...Andy :-}
A very patient American Kestrel hunting for voles along a grassy field. She was an absolute amazing hunter.

Not as sharp as it could be, but I was happy to see and photograph Life Bird #190, the Prairie Falcon. I was trying to photograph another bird in flight, when the falcon seemed to come from nowhere, fly swiftly across the sky and disappear in the red sandstone rock formations of The Garden of the Gods.
Prairie Falcons hunt on the wing, often taking other birds in flight.
One from yesterday. It was a funny old day weather wise, very cold with rain, snow and hailstones but I was not bothered in the least after seeing and watching this beauty.

I grew up in the Midwest where Robins are everywhere. Photography gives us a new perspective as we see the muddy wet Robin coming up out of the grass with a wiggling worm. Isn’t nature something? Yum!

"Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons."

Most summers we have a few least bitterns at Brazos Bend, but they tend to be far off, and aloof.
In contrast, there are several in the park this summer, and they don't seem too concerned about being watched or photographed.
Eating seems to be their main interest. Last Sunday, their continuous feeding behavior reminded me of birds about to migrate.

The Indian pangolin, thick-tailed pangolin, or scaly anteater (Manis crassicaudata) is a pangolin found on the Indian subcontinent. It is not common anywhere in its range. Like other pangolins, it has large, overlapping scales on its body which act as armour. It can also curl itself into a ball as self-defence against predators such as the tiger. The colour of its scales varies depending on the colour of the earth in its surroundings.
It is an insectivore, feeding on ants and termites, digging them out of mounds and logs using its long claws, which are as long as its fore limbs. It is nocturnal and rests in deep burrows during the day.
The Indian pangolin is threatened by hunting for its meat and for various body parts used in traditional medicine.
The Indian pangolin is a solitary, shy, slow-moving, nocturnal mammal. It is about 84–122 centimetres (33–48 in) long from head to tail, the tail usually being 33–47 cm long, and weighs 10–16 kg. Females are generally smaller than the males and have one pair of mammae. The pangolin possesses a cone-shaped head with small, dark eyes, and a long muzzle with a nose pad similar in color, or darker than, its pinkish-brown skin. It has powerful limbs, tipped with sharp, clawed digits. It is an almost exclusive insectivore and principally subsists on ants and termites, which it catches with a specially adapted long, sticky tongue.The pangolin has no teeth, but has strong stomach muscles to aid in digestion. The most noticeable characteristic of the pangolin is its massive, scaled armour, which covers its upper face and its whole body with the exception of the belly and the inside of the legs. These protective scales are rigid and made of keratin. It has 160–200 scales in total, about 40–46% of which are located on the tail. Scales can be 6.5–7 cm long, 8.5 cm wide, and weigh 7–10 grams. The skin and scales make up about one-fourth to one-third of the total body mass of this species.
The Indian pangolin has been recorded from various forest types, including Sri Lankan rainforest and plains to middle hill levels. The animal can be found in grasslands and secondary forests, and is well adapted to desert regions as it is believed to have a tolerance to dry areas, but prefers more barren, hilly regions. This pangolin species may also sometimes reach high elevations, and has been sighted in Sri Lanka at 1100 meters and in the Nilgiri mountains in India at 2300 meters. It prefers soft and semi-sandy soil conditions suitable for digging burrows.
Pangolin burrows fall into one of two categories: feeding and living burrows. Feeding burrows are smaller than living burrows (though their sizes vary depending on the abundance of prey) and are created more frequently during the spring, when there is a greater availability of prey. Living burrows are wider, deeper, and more circular, and are occupied for a longer time than feeding burrows, as they are mainly used to sleep and rest during the day. After a few months, the pangolin abandons the burrow and digs a new one close to a food source. However, it is not uncommon for the pangolin to shift back to an old burrow.
Unlike its African counterpart, the Indian pangolin does not climb trees, but it does value the presence of trees, herbs, and shrubs in its habitat because it is easier to dig burrows around them. Features that promote an abundance of ants and termites (grasses, bare grounds, bases of trees, shrubs, roots, leaf litter, fallen logs and elephant feces) are often present in pangolin habitats.
Few details are known about the breeding behaviour of the Indian pangolin. During the animal's mating period, females and males may share the same burrow and show some diurnal activities. Males have testes in a fold of the skin located in their groin areas. The female's embryo develops in one of the uterine horns. The gestation period lasts 65–70 days; the placenta is diffuse and not deciduate. Usually, a single young is born, but twins have been reported in this species. The young weigh 235–400 g at birth and measure roughly 30 cm. The newborn animals have open eyes, and soft scales with protruding hairs between them. The mother pangolin carries her young on her tail. When the mother and young are disturbed, the young pangolin is held against its mother's belly and protected by the mother's tail.
