Many birds raise their young at Kew. In this magical moment a returning pair of Swans keep a watchful eye on their feeding pair of cygnets.

This juvenile Red Tailed Hawk perched himself atop a lamp post and keenly waited for any sign of a vole in the grassy slope nearby. A fluttering Canadian Flag at a distance created a great backdrop for this wild bird in an urban setting.
While paddling my kayak in Baum Lake (Shasta County, California, USA) I spotted this Great Blue Heron standing proud and looking rather regal in the warm late afternoon light amid a large patch of dry teasel. My low vantage point, sitting right on the water, coupled with the slightly elevated bank added the bird’s proud appearance, at least in my humble opinion.

I lucked out, this little chickadee arrived just as I stepped outside and seemed happy to pose for me.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

Pride is better when celebrated with friends. To my new and old friends, thank you for your support and the great times we shared during Pride. Your presence made it all the more special. As Harvey Milk said, "Hope will never be silent." Together, we make that hope louder and prouder.

The Kori Bustard (Ardeotis kori) is the largest flying bird native to Africa. In fact, the male Kori Bustard may be the heaviest living animal capable of flight.
This species, like most bustards, is a ground-dwelling bird and an opportunistic omnivore. Male Kori Bustards, which can be more than twice as heavy as the female, attempt to breed with as many females as possible and then take no part in the raising of the young.
Kori bustards spend most of their time on the ground, with up to 70% of their time being on foot, although they do occasionally forage in low bushes and trees. This bustard is a watchful and wary bird. Their behavior varies however, and they are usually very shy, running or crouching at the first sign of danger; at other times they can be completely fearless of humans.
This handsome male Kori Bustard was captured during a Photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Nairobi National Park, Nairobi, Kenya.
For probably 80 years this tree stood proudly growing by the lakeshore, its branches towering 100 feet into the air. It has been somewhat of a landmark at the end of Indiana Avenue. You can see Lake Michigan there in the background.
Many a Bald Eagle has perched in its branches, looking down into the Lake for fish to scoop up and eat.
It has been dead for many years, but it had still stood strong and beautiful. Sadly, as I was walking the lakeshore two weeks ago I saw it had fallen down and given up its ghost.
I know it will slowly recycle and feed the earth with its cellulose fiber, enriching the soil. Still, it made me sad to see it lying there in its last resting place. The cycle of life brings beauty, enrichment, and emotions.
Before posting this photo I was stumbling about a long report of Siena. A female lion, part of the Marsh Pride Lions, who was a star of the TV show BBC’s Big Cat Diary since 1996. A group of lions were accompanied by the BBC team over many years. 2014 Siena got badly injured by a buffalo attack and the healing process (it took over one year because the wound always opened again) where documented by the Wildlife veterinarians who are doing great jobs in the National Parks by the way, caring and take care of the animals when injured. Sadly Siena and other members of the group passed away in 2015. Local farmers poisoned them.
So this photo dedicated this pround animals and in memory of Siena and the other lions.
For those who are interested. Write "The Marsh Pride of Lions" on Facebook and you'll find a site about the lions.

Sitting on this hill at sunset, is a man who not only loves his wife, but loves his beautilful camel.
This farm cat was staying indoors today, as it was 20 degrees outside today. I usually find her prowling around Chip-In Farm, which mainly produces eggs. That's her son in the background, who's a little sweetie.
