Since I've been photographing wildlife, I've found that there seems to be such serenity in the way these creatures move, and hold a pose. I have to remind myself that they aren't posing for my benefit! The stealth they show during those deceptively serene moments is intended to numb their prey to their very presence, so they can kill it! Such peaceful predators they are.
This Great Egret was the epitome of grace while in hunting mode. I can't resist capturing shots of them, even when I know that sometimes they will "blow out" in the bright, Florida sun. The best time to shoot these birds is on overcast days, but I take whatever opportunity I have. Half the fun of it is just watching them move or not move. This one was at Reed Canal Park in South Daytona.
This old boy was looking as if I was its prey and he wanted to climb the food chain. While walking the fence line for brakes after finishing for the day. This hawk was intent on keeping his spot to the point where I was within 15 feet before he vacated.

I just passed this snapshot of sweet Merlin, who, by the way, has grown a lot again. So it's time for another photoshoot.
I suddenly got hungry. So, after this photo is online, I am going to find something for lunch.
Bon appetit!
Gerade bin ich an diesem Schnappschuß von der süssen Merlin vorbei gekommen, die übrigens schon wieder mächtig gewachsen ist. Es wird also mal wieder Zeit für ein Shooting.
Spontan hab ich Hunger bekommen. Also werde ich mich, nachdem dieses Foto online ist, erst einmal ums Mittagessen kümmern.
Mahlzeit !
Patterned Predator - A Great Basin Collared lizards basks on a rock. I was only able to grab this single image before the lizard ran after a whiptail lizard. Like the related leopard lizards, this species is almost entirely carnivorous and a very effective hunter of other lizards. They dispatch their prey with powerful bites to the mid-section - essentially pulverizing them. This was a lifer species for me and while I know I can do better photo wise, thought I'd still share this one.
Species: Great Basin Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus bicinctores)
Location: Mojave Desert, CA, USA
Equipment: Canon EOS R7 + RF 100-500mm IS
Settings: 1/640s, ISO: 200, f/7.1 @500mm, Handheld, Electronic Shutter, In-situ

Würfelnattern am Nordufer des Balaton / Plattensee (Libás Strand = Gänse Strand).
_ Die Würfelnatter (Natrix tessellata) ist eine ungiftige, für den Menschen harmlose eurasische Schlange aus der Familie der Europäischen Wassernattern (Natrix). In Mitteleuropa ist die wärmeliebende Art extrem selten. Sie wurde zum „Reptil des Jahres 2009“ gekürt. Am Nordufer des ungarischen Plattensee kommt sie jedoch häufig vor. (wikipedia)
két kocka kÃgyók északi Balaton-part Keszthely (Libás strandot).
A kockás sikló (Natrix tessellata) egy eurázsiai kÃgyófaj, mely közeli rokonával, a vÃzisiklóval ellentétben valóban vÃzhez kötött életet él, és tápláléka nagy részét is innen szerzi.

The American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus) is a very large native frog to southern and eastern parts of the United States and Canada. This frog is an introduced species to California where it is an apex predator with a voracious appetite. Bullfrogs eat anything they can catch including other amphibians, reptiles, rodents, crayfish, birds, and even bats.
It's that moment when you realize that seagulls can spot a chip further away than a shark can taste blood in the ocean.
This bobcat was chased by two coyotes and jumped on a pole, the coyotes went their way but the cat stayed for a couple minutes, again an unforgettable experience! Northern California

47 Celsius in my car today, after it was parked at a shopping centre for a short while.
Look closely and you'll see a ring of silver inside the hole. It is a large fender washer. Putting it in that location will prevent squirrels from gnawing open the hole so they can get at the eggs or hatchlings. In this box, since it's being used by Chickadees (and they didn't mind my adding this while they had eggs inside), the opening is 1.25 inches. A bluebird needs 1.5 inches.
The sun was dropping and my wife and I were driving back to the exit of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. At that point, our eyes were still open for something exciting, but we never expected what we saw next. Suddenly, my wife yelled out, "eagle." A juvenile Bald Eagle had just plunged into the water and was in the process of capturing a Ring-necked Duck. That struggle caused the eagle's entire body to be submerged in the water except for his flapping wings. After he seized the duck, the eagle flew to one of the few spots still in full sun. And the sun was behind us. This was a major break. Needless to say, it was breathtaking to experience, but also very sad because we love ducks. It was so hard for us to watch the eagle ripping at the duck and, finally, flying away with it. This is one of three in a series.
I will hunt you
I will bring you down
I'm the predator
Of flesh skin and sound
Raptor killer
I'm the God of Prey
Once I'm upon you
You'll never see the light of day
