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.
This sweet little Robin came visiting in my back garden looking for worms! It was so fun to watch him stomp on the ground so the worms would pop up & be ready to gobble up!

It was fun watching the green heron hunting...I like how he is crossing his feet to keep a balance on slippery rocks.
Gorgeous day after the storm and the parks were full of sledders and snowmen. A great blessing of NYC living is an abundance of talent in every art form and the snow sculptures that appear are another delightful reminder talent is everywhere!
Dwarf Hunting Team:
The dwarves of the cavernous mountain holds love their food. They seek out any excuse to hold a feast and celebrate almost anything good that happens. The beer tankards run constantly while the noble dwarves and commoners alike sit down to exotic meats and dwarven specialties. These rare foods are brought in from the outside world by the dwarf hunting teams, skilled hunters that etch out a life on the bleak and harsh lands of Warscape.
The dwarven hunting teams will trek out in small groups, for it is always nearly perilous to adventure on the mountainsides alone. They bring with them blackpowder guns, able to fell prey at a hundred paces, and other weapons like skinning knives and crude hammers for protection. They pile their hunting trophies on top of their rare Mountain Rams, one of the few beasts of Warscape able to pass the treacherous mountainsides. They are a stubborn and stalwart group, able to push through harsh weather and calamities to seek their prey.
This particular hunting team has invested in a team of owls cared for by a young beardling, able to kill smaller specialty prey that many dwarven lords like to feast on, and will pay good coin for. A veteran hunter brandishes his crude war hammer as he scans the mountainside for goblin raiding parties while a greybeard leads the mountain ram on and another hunter takes a swig of 'Dwarf Lighting' brew.
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.
The blue-cheeked bee-eater (Merops persicus) is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family, Meropidae. It breeds in Northern Africa, and the Middle East from eastern Turkey to Kazakhstan and India. It is generally strongly migratory, wintering in tropical Africa, although some populations breed and live year round in the Sahel. This species occurs as a rare vagrant north of its breeding range, with most vagrants occurring in Italy and Greece.
This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly-coloured, slender bird. It is predominantly green; its face has blue sides with a black eye stripe, and a yellow and brown throat; the beak is black. It can reach a length of 31 cm (12 in), with the two elongated central tail feathers adding another 7 cm (2.8 in). Sexes are mostly alike but the tail-streamers of the female are shorter.
This is a bird which breeds in sub-tropical semi-desert with a few trees, such as acacia. It winters in open woodland or grassland. As the name suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch. However, this species probably takes more dragonflies than any other food item. Its preferred hunting perch is telephone wires if available.
Blue-cheeked bee-eaters may nest solitarily or in loose colonies of up to ten birds. They may also nest in colonies with European bee-eaters. The nests are located in sandy banks, embankments, low cliffs or on the shore of the Caspian Sea. They make a relatively long tunnel of 1 to 3 m (3.3–9.8 ft) in length in which the four to eight (usually six or seven), spherical white eggs are laid. Both the male and the female take care of the eggs, although the female alone incubates them at night. Incubation takes 23–26 days.
The call sounds 'flatter' and less 'fluty' than the European bee-eater.

Lying and relaxing on the beach I saw this magnificent tuna fish hunting and jumping out of the see. I grabbed my camera, ran into the water. I had only one chance, and I managed to take this photo.
Watch the small fish in the mouth of the Tuna!!!
This photo is taken in the Caribbean in 2008.
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.
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.
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.
I took this picture in Scoresbysund Greenland, the quality is not great but I Iike the picture anyway..
