A family of Cedar Waxwings hung close by the shore of the Fanny Hooe Creek which meets with the waters of Lake Superior in Copper Harbor. The waxwings appeared to dance above the water, swooping and swaying, while hunting tiny insect morsels for dinner.
The morning rain made the street shiny and reflective. A low angle and focus point in the foreground and then I went hunting in the Bruxelles morning :-)
Were you ever taken snipe hunting when young? Well, hunting snipes was fictitious but the snipe is real, and it hunts for food by poking its long bill into the muds and water of marshes and border muds of wetlands.
This bird was found with three others and a group of least sandpipers poking in the same mud in the Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands, Viera, Florida.

We were hunting some mushrooms here. We got enough Chanterelles to put in our pasta sauce for dinner.
A short-eared owl hunts for dinner in Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge (Wallkill, NY). Short-eared owls are currently endangerd in New York state.
This panoramic view was captured during an observing run of the 4-meter Victor M. Blanco Telescope (left) located at Cerro Tololo Observatory in the Chilean Andes. This telescope (funded by NSF 's NOIRLab) has helped astronomers to prove the acceleration of the cosmic expansion in 1998 by looking at distant supernovae!
💡Now, the Blanco telescope is studying the population of thousand of galaxies in the Universe and especially how dark energy is influencing them. For that mission, it is equipped with an astonishingly resolved CCD camera of 570 megapixels! A single 90 seconds photograph, that covers a region of the sky as wide as 8 full moons, can reveal up to 150,000 galaxies! This high-end imaging instrument is called #DECam - Dark Energy Camera - and was used during 758 nights between 2013 and 2019 as part of the Dark Energy Survey.
I took this photo in August 2018, when the survey was still being completed.

The serval (Leptailurus serval) is a wild cat native to Africa.
The serval is a solitary carnivore and active both by day and at night. It preys on rodents, particularly vlei rats, small birds, frogs, insects, and reptiles, using its sense of hearing to locate prey. It leaps over 2 m (6 ft 7 in) above the ground to land on the prey on its forefeet, and finally kills it with a bite on the neck or the head. Both sexes establish highly overlapping home ranges of 10 to 32 km2 (4 to 12 sq mi), and mark them with feces and saliva.
Having hidden her three very cute kittens, Mamma Serval went hunting for her hungry kittens. Captured during a photography safari on a late evening game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.
Ah, off to some of my favorite things...barrelling through a humid South Carolina night, watching lighting playing in the distant cloudtops, talking photography with a friend, counting the minutes until I have my toes back in the saltwater and sand, listening to the waves break and enjoying a beach sunrise with my camera and friends.
Did one of my crazy drives to the coast for sunrise this weekend. Photography adventures with friends are always a great time. ;-)

Cooper's Hawk
Accipiter cooperii
ORDER: Accipitriformes
FAMILY: Accipitridae
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Coopers_Hawk/overview
Colorado Springs, CO
This lovely hawk visits my trees just about every day hunting for small birds and doesn't seem to mind being watched as it hunts for its meal.
Large meals do not come often for a Long-billed Curlew. It must find many small bits to make a good meal so lots of time is needed.
This photo proves the adage that it's best to let wildlife come to you, rather than chase it. I was sitting on the shore of a local lake, and when I glanced to my right, I noticed that this juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron and flown and in and landed not ten feet away, As long as was still, it cared nothing about my presence.
