Black Bellied Whistling Duck bringing her tiny family out into the open, lake waters for the first time today.

Blessed to find this very young fawn. Have not seen one in years. He had a twin that they had stopped on the hill to wait for.

Well, when we are talking about ponds, lol

Look, Mom! There's a human over there. I think he's watching us. Moss Landing, just north of Monterey, California.

 

From my Sea Lions of Moss Landing collection.

Mom was actively feeding this baby bird beak to beak. La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.

 

Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)

 

Ortalis columbiana is endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and is the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

Observe the lower belly of this toucan, with its disordered plumage. This is a mom who has been lying in the nest a lot. La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.

 

Aulacorhynchus albivitta

(Southern Emerald toucanet / Tucancito Esmeralda)

 

Like other toucans, the Andean Toucanet is brightly marked and has a large bill. The adult is 30–35 cm (12–14 in) long. The sexes are alike in appearance, although the female generally is smaller and slightly shorter-billed.

 

The Andean Toucanet is a generally common in humid forest and woodland, mainly at higher elevations.

Recently, at dusk, a mother moose and this year's calf returned to our area. It was 50 weeks ago when we saw an identical pair eating the wild shrubs in this exact spot. I'm assuming it's the same adult since they are loners (except when parenting) and territorial.

 

"Moose" comes from the Algonquin word for “eater of twigs.” They forage across a 5+ mile (13km) territory, rutting in the Fall, and then the bulls leave. She will drive off the 1-year-old calf to another area when it's time to have next year's mid-Spring new calf. This youngster is probably around 7 months old.

American Oystercatcher Mom and baby! Size difference is crazy! Little one is real new.

Today a celebration. The whole herd, some 20 mountain goats, have finally found their way to our side of the mountain in time for some winter shots. They were all pretty intent on festive feeding this afternoon and I was glad to be close enough to follow them.

 

They did dine in family units. Occasional disputes arose when the little guys wandered into a male's space from another unit.

We typically go to Rocky Mountain National Park in the fall. The fall colors are spectacular, and the elk rut is amazing to witness. While that is still on the agenda for September, we decided to go in the Spring to look for baby critters. I asked the park ranger at the entrance station if there were any babies around. She did not believe so thinking it was still too early. Happily, she was mistaken, and we saw lots of little ones.

 

On this particular morning, this elk cow and calf were in a stand of aspen and were slowly on the move with a few other calf-less cows. I got ahead of them, thinking they were going to walk into a clearing, but the small herd decided to go in the opposite direction. The herd slowly crossed the road and I doubled back, placing myself in a position to get them as they went up a ridge. As I watched them move on, the mother and calf were nowhere to be seen. I continued to wait, and after about five minutes or so, mom and calf crossed over as well and went up the ridge following the others. A beautiful morning, a tender moment in nature – does it get any better?

 

Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, fave or comment on my photos!

Hi Mom... Happy Birthday!

October 18th, 2007 my Mom would have turned 80.

I miss her terribly and so does my Dad, family and friends.

She taught me to appreciate nature and to always be kind to others.

... I love you more

 

We were looking for Petoskey stones on a beach north of the Mission Point Lighthouse at the end of Old Mission Point Peninsula in Northwestern Michigan (North of Traverse City) and came across someone’s work of art.

 

Thank you very much for your visits, comments, faves, and invitations - they are all very much appreciated!

Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster

(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)

 

The Red-bellied Grackle is a distinctive rare blackbird of cloud forest in the Colombian Andes. It is large, long-tailed, and heavy-billed with a bright red belly and otherwise glossy black plumage. Red-bellied Grackles moves through the forest in groups, giving a variety of calls. While it has been recorded from all three ranges of the Andes in Colombia, contemporary localities are few.

Mom says to eat your vegetables! Yes, bears are omnivores. About 70 percent of their diet comes from fruit and vegetation. Being one of the world's biggest predators doesn't exempt you from eating your greens!

I've been thinking about 'young' moms since Hannah's dear post. And then I happened upon this photo today, of my mom and I. She was 21. The stories of our mothers are so tender, aren't they?

I shall never forget my mother, for it was she who planted and nurtured the first seeds of good within me. She opened my heart to the lasting impressions of nature; she awakened my understanding and extended my horizon and her percepts exerted an everlasting influence upon the course of my life. (Immanuel Kant)

This is a repost for my mom, who is going through surgery today. I'm sending lots of love and good vibes her way, and hope she has a speedy recovery. Moms rule. Especially this one.
