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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
Here you can see the main differences between an adult and a juvenile: 1. The most obvious, the size. 2. The plumage on the frontal part is red in the adult and a soft orange in the juvenile. 3. The eye of the adult is white and that of the juvenile is black.

Mom and the twins!!!
In Talsarnau.
They are so adoreable enjoying playing in the fields in the sunshine.
Female Common Merganser’s lay 6-17 eggs and sometimes in other ducks’ nests. The male usually abandons the nest during incubation, and the female cares for the ducklings on her own. She escorts them from the small streams and ponds near the nest site to larger lakes, rivers, and bays downstream, this one has 19 ducklings in tow. After leaving the nest, the young are in danger from hawks, owls, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Common Loons, and even fish such as northern pike, but they can escape from predators by running on the surface of the water or skulking under banks. Broods often join together in groups of multiple females with 40 or more young.
An iris of special meaning. We transplanted iris bulbs from my 94 year old Mom's house. Yes this picture has been DDG'd and the iris was really a white color. Someday you will see the original white version. May all have a great weekend and go out and get flickr'ized.

Mr. & Ms. Bunting were in the meadow observing flight practice by their two offspring. They split up with Mom taking one away and Dad staying with the other.
Lowell, MI
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.

I am just not sure how you can't just love these guys. I was going to call them little, but they really aren't. What an amazing creature.
Goats seen in the neolitic settlement. It was nice to see live animals there :)
Neolithic settlement in Kopiec is a small settlement in village Kopiec, when you can see how lived people of the Funnelbeaker culture (present in Europe between 3700 and 1900 BC), recreated with great accuracy. The huts are equipped with vessels and various objects which were made using old techniques. The whole was made in accordance with current knowledge about the life of people from that period. In the settlement live also farm animals, and in the gardens you can see species of cereals being cultivated in old times.

Kózki w osadzie neolitycznej. Zdecydowanie ożywiały to miejsce :)
Osada neolityczna w Kopcu - odtworzona z dużą dokładnością i starannością osada ludzi kultury pucharów lejkowatych, obecnej w Europie pomiędzy 3700 a 1900 r. p.n.e. Chaty wyposażone są w naczynia i różne przedmioty, które zostały wykonane za pomocą dawnych technik. Całość urządzona jest zgodnie z obecną wiedzą na temat życia ludzi tamtego okresu. W osadzie znajdują się też zwierzęta hodowlane, zaś w ogródkach można zobaczyć uprawiane pradawne gatunki zbóż.
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 arrived at 6 am; the female was in the tidal zone foraging, occasional sounds from the cubs escaped the forest, but we could not see them. She disappeared into the forest a few hours passed, then returned to the tidal zone; not a sound came from the forest. We were wondering if she had instructed the cubs to stay hidden; they must have been sleeping. We knew the second the crying started, they were awake and wanting their Mom. She ignored the cries and continued foraging, knowing the cubs would eventually join her. The largest, more adventurous cub came insight then worked his way over to Mom. He appeared to be stuck rocking back and forth; I thought his feet were caught between rocks and wondered what the heck was wrong with Mom. Why didn't she show any concern? He wasn't stuck at all. He was trying to imitate his Mom by turning a large rock, one of the cutest things I have witnessed. It melted our hearts.

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