First hawk I've seen since the Swainson's headed south. This looked like a drone, hovering over a meadow and watching for something to eat. I saw it dive a couple of times but it didn't catch anything.
During WWII when the Japanese occupied the Indonesian Island of Borneo they treated the native Dayak people horribly. Some of this horrible treatment including wiping out whole villages. Out numbered and outgunned the Dayaks had resorted to guerilla warfare, with the help of Australian Commandoes and stranded American pilots. The Dayaks fought back, and as part of their culture they beheaded the Japanese and kept their heads as trophies.
Head hunting as a whole during WWII was limited to the pacific where even American soldiers would cut off the heads of their dead Japanese enemies. Even though the United States public as a whole hated Japan and to an extant it's people, taking the heads of the enemy was frowned up by many.
More scenes and a large build coming soon. I'm done with my first semester so more time for lego.
A rainstorm the day before had flooded the wildflower fields. There were several herons & egrets hunting for the crawdads popping up all over the meadow. This night heron was watching a crawdad hole intently.

Lionesses are mainly the hunters of the pride, while males only hunt when a big kill is involved or the females have not given him a free lunch. The females usually hunt in a group (3 to 8 females) for there is a higher chance of the kill being successfull. One theory these sociable cats hunt together is to control exclusive hunting grounds and to share food with relatives. The females like to hunt in a broad front in an attempt to drive the quarry into an ambush or block the escape eoute of their prey, like wildebeests or zebras grazing alongside a river or woodland edge. When food is scarce, the females wont share the food that they are able to obtain with their cubs, so high cub mortality rates are high during times of prey scarcity. This might seem cruel but it stems from dire necssity.

hunting Banksy near Southampton ... I almost caught him ... ;-) ...
Banksy is nowadays often mentioned in one breath with Picasso, Van Gogh and similar famous artists ...
one of his artworks changed hands for 18 million dollars ...
Von Wiki erfuhr ich, dass Banksy (* vermutlich 1973 oder 1974 in oder in der Nähe von Bristol, England) das Pseudonym eines britischen Streetart-Künstlers ist. Seine Schablonengraffiti wurden anfangs in Bristol und London bekannt.
Seine Aktivitäten auch außerhalb des Vereinigten Königreichs machten Banksy weltweit bekannt. Banksy bemüht sich, seinen bürgerlichen Namen sowie seine wahre Identität geheim zu halten.
Es wird spekuliert, dass der Brite Robin Gunningham Banksy ist. Andere Spekulationen halten Banksy für eine Frau oder den Teil eines Kollektivs.
Inhaltsverzeichnis
Banksy bedient sich der Taktiken der Kommunikationsguerilla, insbesondere bei seinen Inspirationsquellen (wie beispielsweise der des französischen Pochoir-Künstlers Blek le Rat und Massive Attacks Frontman Robert del Naja, alias 3D) und der Adbusters, um eine alternative Sichtweise auf politische und wirtschaftliche Themen zu bieten.
Er verändert und modifiziert dabei oftmals bekannte Motive und Bilder. Er nahm Auftragsarbeiten für wohltätige Zwecke an (beispielsweise für Greenpeace) und gestaltete eine Reihe von CD-Covern, u. a. für das Label Wall of Sound sowie 2003 für die Band Blur. Als Künstler wirkte er bisher in Australien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Großbritannien, Israel, Italien, Jamaika, Japan, Kanada, Kuba, Mali, Mexiko, Österreich, den Palästinensischen Autonomiegebieten, Spanien, der Ukraine und den USA.
Neben der Umsetzung von Schablonen-Graffiti installierte Banksy eigene Arbeiten auch unautorisiert in Museen. Auf diese Weise hingen Arbeiten von ihm im Londoner Tate Modern, New Yorker Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, American Museum of Natural History und im Louvre. Im Mai 2005 wurde Banksys Version einer Höhlenmalerei, die einen jagenden Menschen mit Einkaufswagen zeigte, im British Museum gefunden.
Seit 1999 zeigte Banksy seine Werke mehrfach in selbst organisierten Ausstellungen, da er Galerien sowie den traditionellen Kunstbetrieb dem Vernehmen nach ablehnt.[8] Die erste Einzelausstellung fand im Jahr 2000 im Restaurant Severnshed in Bristol statt. Gezeigt wurde unter anderem die bekannte Bilderreihe Simple Intelligence Testing in Dumb Animals.
In der Turf-War-Ausstellung 2003 in einer Londoner Lagerhalle waren u. a. lebende, von ihm bemalte Tiere zu sehen. 2006 fand in Los Angeles die Banksy-Ausstellung Barely Legal statt, wieder in einer Lagerhalle, zu der 30.000 Besucher kamen.[9] Seine Ausstellung Banksy vs. Bristol Museum zog 2009 in nur sechs Wochen 308.719 Besucher an. Seine Ablehnung des Kunstbetriebs demonstrierte auch eine Aktion in New York im Oktober 2013, bei welcher Bilder zu Schnäppchenpreisen an unwissende Laien verkauft wurden.
English
Banksy (* probably 1973 or 1974 in or near Bristol, England) is the pseudonym of a British street artist. His stencil graffiti initially became known in Bristol and London.
His activities also outside the United Kingdom made Banksy known worldwide. Banksy strives to keep his civil name as well as his true identity a secret.
It is speculated that the Briton Robin Gunningham is Banksy. Other speculations consider Banksy to be a woman or the part of a collective.

Banksy uses the tactics of communication guerrilla, particularly with his sources of inspiration (such as those of French pochoir artist Blek le Rat and Massive Attacks frontman Robert del Naja, a.k.a. 3D) and the Adbusters, to offer an alternative take on political and economic issues.
In doing so, he often changes and modifies familiar motifs and images. He has accepted commissions for charities (such as Greenpeace) and has designed a number of CD covers, including for the Wall of Sound label and, in 2003, for the band Blur. As an artist he has worked in Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Canada, Cuba, Mali, Mexico, Austria, the Palestinian Territories, Spain, Ukraine and the USA.
In addition to implementing stencil graffiti, Banksy also installed his own works in museums without authorization. In this way, works of his hung in London's Tate Modern, New York's Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, American Museum of Natural History and the Louvre. In May 2005, Banksy's version of a cave painting depicting a chasing human with a shopping cart was found in the British Museum.
Since 1999, Banksy has shown his work several times in self-organized exhibitions, as he reportedly rejects galleries as well as the traditional art establishment.[8] The first solo exhibition was held in 2000 at the Severnshed restaurant in Bristol. Among the works on display was the well-known series of paintings Simple Intelligence Testing in Dumb Animals.
The 2003 Turf War exhibition in a London warehouse included live animals painted by him. In 2006, Banksy's exhibition Barely Legal was held in Los Angeles, again in a warehouse, and attracted 30,000 visitors.[9] His 2009 exhibition Banksy vs. Bristol Museum attracted 308,719 visitors in just six weeks. His rejection of the art establishment was also demonstrated by an action in New York in October 2013, in which paintings were sold at bargain prices to ignorant laypeople.

In the end the distance and stupidly high ISO is secondary to the joy of watching a barn owl (Tyto alba) hunting.
This least bittern was seen hunting in the marsh at Winding Waters Natural Area in West Palm Beach, Florida. Prints, and much more, are available on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com.
After waiting an hour and a half, to no avail, to shoot a male Northern harrier that regularly flies in this area, the sun went down and I was about to return to my car. Luckily, I looked up to see this Western coyote hunting right where I'd hoped to catch the harrier. I was able to get lots of shots, including one with this guy calmly looking straight at me. He marked his territory and hunted for several minutes before moving along.
Modern cameras are amazing, keeping almost all shots in focus, despite the low light and this tall prairie grass. Shooting 120 frames per second allows me to pick what I feel is the ideal shot, at the peak of the leap.
