It goes without saying, Big Hunting Creek is big with hunters. However, the only thing I was hunting for was a waterfall.
In fact, I was looking for Cunningham Falls State Park. As it turned out, it's just up the creek, which I eventually got to, without a paddle.
This is a long exposure that I made using a tripod and an aperture of F-22. It's a good thing it wasn't windy; otherwise, the leaves would have come out blurry. Scenes like this are gratifying for me, and exactly why I love photography in the first place.
This young Pied Stilt slowly made its way passed the Hide - oblivious to the fact that I was just metres away from it - as it continued hunting for food...!
GOOD NEWS
The water quality in the Pauatahanui marshes appears to have improved quite dramatically, and the Bird population appears to have increased...!
FOOTNOTE
We'll have Family from Vancouver Island staying with us for a few days this week, so if you don't hear from me, that will be the reason...!
Thanks so much for the very kind and encouraging comments beneath this photo...! Your support is always greatly appreciated...!
The Hunting Tower stands on the escarpment 400 feet above Chatsworth House, on the edge of Stand Wood. There are panoramic views over Capability Brown's magnificent Park. This unique and fascinating building was completed c.1582 for Bess of Hardwick, ancestress of the Dukes of Devonshire, to designs by the famous Elizabethan architect Robert Smythson. The building may have been a banqueting house or summerhouse and, as its name implies, it was also used by the ladies to watch the hounds working when hunting in the park below.
Hunting Vixen!...I was watching this fox for a while.I imagine it must be quite hard to find food if you are mainly a rural fox.This vixen was shy and wary and it seems like it has a lot of mange on its rear.

It was fun watching the green heron hunting...I like how he is crossing his feet to keep a balance on slippery rocks.
We ventured down the road and found a herd of bison with two coyotes hunting nearby. This male had heard something beneath the snow, and is now mid-pounce. After digging a bit more, he was rewarded with a vole.
Looking back at me as if to say, are you still there?
Neat view of its little backbone and ribs. And the place where its tail might come off in case of emergency.

DDC "Orange"
Living in the middle of a vast tract of National Forest means that we have to learn to live with hunters frequently getting inside our comfort zone. We own an entire big bin of orange garb, just for this season. When hunting season finally ends, we gleefully wash all the ugly orange stuff, and hide the bin until the next year. In this photo, Shyla is wearing my orange jacket and hat, and she doesn't look terribly happy about it. I agree, Shyla.
One upsetting thing is the growth of poaching around us. It takes the form of hunting out of season. The Forest Service and the Colorado wildlife authorities are so underfunded that I have never run into a ranger in my 2 decades of spending hours every day in the forest. So, of course, bad people can get away with poaching. However, I'll be damned if I'll start wearing this orange stuff all year around.
The Gay Games is the world's largest sporting and cultural event organized by and specifically for LGBT athletes, artists, musicians, and others. It welcomes participants of every sexual orientation and every skill level. Originally called the Gay Olympics, it was started in San Francisco in 1982, as the brainchild of Tom Waddell, whose goals were to promote the spirit of inclusion and participation, as well as the pursuit of personal growth in a sporting event. It retains many similarities with the Olympics, including the Gay Games flame which is lit at the opening ceremony.
The Gay Games is open to all who wish to participate, without regard to sexual orientation. There are no qualifying standards to compete in the Gay Games. It brings together people from all over the world, many from countries where homosexuality remains illegal and hidden.
The Federation of Gay Games (FGG) is the sanctioning body of the Gay Games. From its statement of concept and purpose:
The purpose of the Federation of Gay Games is to foster and augment the self-respect of lesbians and gay men throughout the world and to engender respect and understanding from the nongay world, primarily through an organized international participatory athletic and cultural event held every four years, and commonly known as the Gay Games.
Gay Games VIII were held in Cologne, Germany from July 31 to August 6, 2010.
While out on the pontoon a few days ago we had peregrine falcons harassing the waterfowl.
It appeared to be a pair and they were hunting cooperatively.
We didn't see them catch anything but it was still an interesting show.
Falco peregrinus
During its spectacular hunting stoop from heights of over 1 km (0.62 mi), the peregrine may reach speeds of 320 km/h (200 mph) as it drops toward its prey.
