A westbound Denver to Grand Junction manifest exits Red Canyon near Range, Colorado on a gorgeous September afternoon.
This Red-backed Shrike was photographed in the wild in the Kruger National Park.
(What is most interesting about this image, is that I used the 2x MIII converter on a R6. For the first time, I now am able to use that converted with confidence, as I always seemed to get not that sharp images on the DSLR's. I guess, for 1000mm, this turned out acceptably sharp.)

Wikipedia: The red-wattled lapwing (Vanellus indicus) is an Asian lapwing or large plover, a wader in the family Charadriidae. Like other lapwings they are ground birds that are incapable of perching. It breeds from West Asia (Iraq, SW Iran, Persian Gulf) eastwards across South Asia (Baluchistan, Sri Lanka,Afghanistan, Pakistan, the entire Indian subcontinent up to Kanyakumari and up to 1800m in Kashmir/Nepal), with another sub-species further east in Southeast Asia. May migrate altitudinally in spring and autumn (e.g. in N. Baluchistan or NW Pakistan), and spreads out widely in the monsoons on creation of requisite habitats, but by and large the populations are resident.

The red iris that gives the Red-eyed Vireo its name doesn't develop until the end of the birds' first winter. Then the brown iris the birds were born with becomes dull brick red to bright crimson in different individuals.

Colorado in the monument's name means "colored red" and refers to the color of the sandstone rather than to the state. The white Book Cliffs are in the background.

The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the only wild member of the dog family (Canidae) remaining in the UK. As one of Britain's last remaining apex predators, it is highly adaptable, intelligent, and famously opportunistic. They maintain an estimated UK population of 350,000 individuals.
Physical Characteristics
Appearance:
Rusty orange-red fur, white chest/underside, black-tipped ears, and dark brown feet.
The "Brush":
A long, bushy tail with a distinct white tip, making up 40% of its body length.
Size: Similar to a small dog, standing roughly 40 cm tall at the shoulder.
Weight:
Average males weigh 6–7 kg, while females (vixens) are smaller at 5–6 kg.
Agility:
Capable of running up to 50 km/h and climbing fences or trees using partially retractable claws.
Diet and Hunting
Foxes are highly resourceful omnivores. According to the Woodland Trust, their natural diet includes rabbits, rodents, birds, frogs, earthworms, insects, and seasonal berries.
The Fox Jump:
They hunt by leaping high into the air and pouncing down vertically on prey.
Magnetoreception: Incredible research highlighted by the RSPCA shows foxes can use the Earth's magnetic field to accurately calculate their pounce trajectory.
Behavior and Habitats
Distribution: Widespread across England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. They are absent from the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly, and most Scottish islands.
The "Earth":
They live in underground burrow systems called earths, often built among tree roots or bankings.
Scent Marking:
They use strong-smelling urine and specialized scent glands on their feet to mark territories and trails.
Vocalisations:
Mostly quiet, but they bark to communicate. During the winter mating season (December to February), vixens emit a piercing, ghostly scream.
Urban vs. Rural Foxes
The red fox is equally comfortable in the deep countryside and bustling cities.
Urban Adaptation: Attracted by abundant food, thousands of foxes live in UK towns and cities. They den under garden sheds or decking and forage through household waste.
Lifespan Discrepancy:
While rural foxes can live up to 9 years, the average lifespan of an urban fox drops to just 18 months.
Road Mortality:
Traffic is their biggest threat. Vehicle collisions account for roughly 60% of fox deaths, killing an estimated 100,000 foxes every year in the UK.
Legal Protection
Traditional fox hunting with a pack of hounds was made illegal in England and Wales under the Hunting Act 2004. Foxes are also protected from cruelty under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. However, because they are occasionally viewed as pests that target livestock or poultry, limited, humane population control is still permitted on private lands.
