Hunting Trot - Male Bobcat trotting to his hunting patch to hunt for Botta's Pocket Gophers (Thomomys bottae). My last Bobcat sighting was on 2/24/23, so I've been combing the archives lately. I try to mix up birds, mammals, and reptiles (just recently started) but have really been missing photographing this species. The way they move is so unique and I love their patterns and stunning eyes.
Species: Bobcat (Lynx rufus)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R5 + EF 100-400mm IS
Settings: 1/800s, ISO: 500, f/5.6 @400mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter
THE FIRST SHOT OF A SERIES of images of a lioness in the late afternoon in Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.
She had left the other lionesses of her pride and was was slowly walking while listening and looking in all directions.
We also could hear some wildebeest not too far away and she started to look intently in that direction.
Unfortunately for us the vegetation in that area looked quite dense so I was afraid that there would be no photo opportunities.....
IUCN RED LIST STATUS: Vulnerable

This Green Heron hung out on my backyard fence for about a week successfully catching lizards instead of hunting fish by the lakeside.
Have fun while you shop until you drop.

Not many birds as mesmerising to watch as a Barn Owl hunting.
Hope to be able to get out there again soon - or find some nearer to home.
Taken in Norfolk.
Doing what all fox, coyote and wolves do when hunting rodents, this fox dives for a rodent under the tundra grass. Watched this fox keep at it until finally, after ten minutes of trying, it captured it's prey.
The 2 Male Cheetahs crossing the Nossob River bed and then walked right through Rooiputs camp while we were camping there. These 2 predators preferred hunting late afternoon and here was no exception..They were tailing a large herd of Springbok. Kalahari at its best
A Northern Shrike perched high on a sunny spot ever watching carefully for unsuspecting prey.
If you didn't know what a Northern Shrike was, you may think it is a cute, medium-sized song bird. The Northern Shrike is in fact a small, fierce hunter cloaked in grey, black and white plumage.
Shrikes hunt voles, small songbirds and large insects. They hunt from perches, descending upon prey and then use their strongly hooked bill to sever the spinal cord between the neck and head.
Shrikes are know to keep a cache of food, impaling birds, voles and insects o branches, barbed wire or thorns. This unique way of storing food is why Northern Shrikes are also called by some "butcher birds".
Two grizzly bears (ursus arctos horribilis) hunting sockeye salmon in the mouth of a stream flowing into Knights Inlet, in British Columbia, Canada. One of the bears is hunting more actively than the other, even though he has a meal in his mouth!
An Arctic Tern hunting crabs in the wadden sea at low tide.
They are back now and started to breed in the small breeding colony near the river Eider at the North sea coast. Perfect possibilities to watch these beauties' behaviour.

During our time observing this young Reddish Egret there were several times we did see it flap about and hunt for a meal. Most of the time it was just standing quietly or preening.
