While walking a trail at the P.E.R.T., I came around the bend and spotted a Harris hawk in a low branch in a tree up ahead.

LOL.....I don't know about anybody else, but every time I spot a potential subject out in the wild, my pulse always quickens and I go into "hunting" mode!

I was really excited to see this guy, and was doing my best to stay quiet as I walked up on him, so he wouldn't take off on me. It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that this was a "tame" hawk that belongs to a local falconer that brings this guy to the P.E.R.T. for exercise and to hunt.

I don't know how I feel about this guy going after all the little warblers and sparrows,at the park. If his handler let's him actually eat his catch then I guess it's okay......after all, that's what they do. However, if he takes it away from him, then it's really a waste.

I asked the handler about this, but he was rather evasive in his answer........hummmmmm!

This coyote was oblivious to me as I watched him hunting something in the long grass down at Fish Creek Provincial Park.

Hunting trophies in Jäneda Manor, Estonia

mess with them..

At a certain time of year there is an influx of jellyfish into Phang Nga Bay which prompts the local fishermen to go out hunting for them. Rumour has it that they are shipped to Japan where they are considered something of a delicacy.

Seagull flying above the water, hunting, I reckon.

Searching for bamboo shoots, for lunch. There are also several wild boars in this mountain area, did not see any, but many tracks. Fighting off the mosquitoes. Hunting down bamboo shoots for lunch. The best are around 1 metre tall. ( I mean the bamboo....not the mosquitoes)

I found this old and withered prohibition notice with some litter on the street and put it above my bed. No hunting in my house!

All I know about Hamburg Mountain is that on the opposite side, you will find the Mountain Creek Ski Resort and Action Park waterpark. Unfortunately, I won't be delving in that deep today. This is my first time here so I want to get a fell for it first.
