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.

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.

Turdus ignobilis (Black-billed Thrush / Mayo)
Turdus ignobilis is a widely distributed thrush species throughout northern South America and the Amazon, inhabiting a diverse set of habitats ranging from floodplain forests, white sand “campinas”, to highland forests (Andes and Tepuis). There are currently six known subspecies of T. ignobilis, which vary extensively phenotypically and also ecologically.
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.

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.

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 and the twins!!!
In Talsarnau.
They are so adoreable enjoying playing in the fields in the sunshine.
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.

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

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.
CSX ST70AH 8902 crosses the Kankakee River in Momence with Q648. This is the first time one of these units has come this far north.

Mom loves these Images of flowers. I thought this was a nice one it has a bit more sun but still a little transparent.
this pic is priceless to me words cant describe the emotion in the room!!!! very first hug ever!!!!!!!!
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.

"Cat Mom" - the largest cat mural in Łódź, decorates the wall of the "Cat Mom" foundation on Pryncypalna Str.
The author Dominik Jach showed here various characters from the era - from a cat princess, through a jester-player, to a one-eyed pirate. All these cats with human features gather at the foot of a wooden manor house. There is a cobbled floor, stalls and a Prussian wall on the buildings. Łódź, Poland
