It was very interesting to see the concentration of this Northern Harrier in his hunting. Taken this picture at Delta, BC.
This Green Heron hung out on my backyard fence for about a week successfully catching lizards instead of hunting fish by the lakeside.
I was photographing some deer in a field when I noticed a deer in the woods running right towards me. Behind her came running a coyote chasing her at full speed. The two of them ran right past me with in feet of where I was standing. The deer got away and the coyote finally noticed me and ran. I did manage to get a few photos of the coyote even though I was shaking from the encounter :-)!
Have fun while you shop until you drop.

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
I felt very fortunate when I found this guy on a back country road, actively hunting in a field and landing in the tall scrub along the side of the road. A rare winter visitor for us.
Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada
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.
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.
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".
There's no mistaking the effervescent call of House Wrens. We had them nesting in our back yard for a couple of years and they are noisy active little birds. This year, they seem to have set up housekeeping across the street. Perhaps it was getting too crowded as there is now a pair of nesting Sparrows, Chickadees, and Robins. This particular one (I could hear him well before I could see him) appeared to be house hunting in a hollowed out fence post along a nearby trail. I could watch through the bushes and see him clearing space in there. Perhaps he spotted me too! They don't miss much!
A whistling kite swooping over the Murray River on the prowl for little fish that were near the surface of the water. The trees on the river bank formed a lovely dark green backdrop.
Taken near Swan Reach in South Australia.
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
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.

Yesterday afternoon I headed out with the camera down to a small stretch of the River Plym near Shaugh Prior looking for waterfalls. I didn't really have a plan, I just went out for a bimble and having walked around this area a couple of times before it was nice to explore properly.
The early part of the afternoon was quite cloudy which was perfect as it meant no harsh shadows and blown highlights in the water, all I had to do was find a decent composition and get my shot. I found a few spots I liked so expect one or two more shots from here.
The area around here is full of granite boulders, covered in moss and other such foliage and it's still looking very green at the minute, So I'm really looking forward to the Autumn colours kicking in!
