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.
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.

Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster

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.

This picture represents and interesting event in this chick’s life history. Up to this point, at least during the time I was lucky enough to be watching, the most Junior would do was peck at his food. He relied upon Mom to tear up the prey and feed it to him. They demonstrated a very close bond, lots of Mom preening her pride and joy and sometimes Junior preening Mom. This shot was taken close to sunset. Mom took the foot shown in her beak, a body part Junior in the past seemed to relish, and flew to a nearby branch. From there she made a call I hadn’t heard before. It was explained to me by Karen, a woman also watching, that Mom was attempting to entice Junior to make the short flight from the nest branch to where she was perched with the tasty tidbit. I hadn’t seen the chick attempt to fly but his feathers had grown in a lot and it would not have surprised me to see a short flight. Unfortunately, I can’t get back to the nest until after Junior will have fled the coup but hope he or she has a bright future and will not move too far from the neighborhood. (Bubo virginianus).

Wagtails at the lake near my home have one juvenile.
He is as big than mom and dad, and soooo noisy :)
Easy for the photographer to find them now
For this one I was on a bridge and the wagtails in tree over the lake or under the bridge on the ground
ps : in the shadow of big trees over the lake so very high ISO for this one

Hija, mi cosita bella!!! Tanto tiempo juntas sin estarlo. La gente no entiende muy bien como se manejan las "relaciones" que se forman en "un juego".
Yo por el contrario creo que tiene que ver con VALORES, esos con los que creces desde niño y que tre van formando día a día. Porque no es necesario ser otra persona "para jugar", se trata de seguir siendo uno...así sin más.
Yo super agradecida a la vida xq te cruzaras en mi camino y más aún porque a pesar de no compartir mucho, sigas en él.
Estoy super orgullosa de la "familia" que elegí en ese mundito virtual y a la que elegí traer a esta vida afuera. Gracias x estar, por ser y escuchar. Amarte con el alma.
Mariana.
Como no Amarte con mi alma!!

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!

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.
My mother wanted to see Italy "one more time," so we went for two weeks in October. (She will be 101 years old on January 1.) The weather was perfect—in the 70s and only one day of rain. She has a Fitbit and some days she took over 12,000 steps, climbing staircases in Vatican City as if she were part mountain goat. Here she is in one of her favorite cities, Florence.

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!
I rescued Buddy on Christmas eve about 10 years ago. He was behind a restuarant and crying by the dumpster. It was very cold.I had two cats so I could not keep him. My mom didn't really want a cat, she thought those days were done. I had other ideas :) As you can see she loves him :)

Mom loves these Images of flowers. I thought this was a nice one it has a bit more sun but still a little transparent.
