He entertained me by trying to be faster than my camera, going from feeder to tree to feeder...I missed shot after shot, so this is what you get! lol
A wet grizzly bear shows off the beautiful big salmon she just caught by the river bank. During the fall salmon run a big grizzly can catch and eat 2 dozen or more salmon a day, which helps them put on weight for their winter hibernation. Cariboo Chilcotin, BC.

This Cormorant was sitting on the shore displaying his wings while letting them dry. He stood on a rock displaying while Pelicans, Snowy Egrets and Mallards watched and admired. It was so busy and involved in the display that it barely noticed our presence and let us get rather close to get some nice images of it.
I kept hearing a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and finally located it perched on a branch nearby. It let me take quite a few photos, which surprised me. What I didn't realize initially was that it had a sizable katydid in its beak. It was almost like it was proud of itself and wanted to show off.
I came across these wild peacocks, during my walk, this morning. The male in all his resplendent glory, displaying to his harem ... truly one of nature's more beautiful & eye-catching wonders.
Too much beauty in one thing can cause trouble. (1/2)

Although I was clumsy enough to accidentally put the camera on the wrong setting, I'm happy at how well it turned out. This guy didn't need to show off his wonderful wingspan quite that much, though...
There once was a peacock
named Drool
who was a stunning but strident
young fool.
So given his call
the peahens won't fall
And Drool settles for being
just cool.
This male Red-breasted Merganser was doing his best to impress a nearby female.

The sun blazed over the desolate, twisted branches of the gnarled oak tree as the red squirrel emerged from the shadows, a furball with a devilish glint in his beady eyes. He was a maniacal maestro of munching, a lunatic acrobat of the canopy. The squirrel, aptly named Nutty Nibbler, swayed precariously from a branch, clinging to it with his hind feet like a booze-soaked trapeze artist teetering on the edge of sanity. He flaunted his circus act to a meager audience of bewildered birds, chittering with glee as he chomped on a pecan the size of his head. Each bite was a wild, primal display of squirrel bravado, and he seemed to revel in the gasps and applause from the other woodland critters. Nutty Nibbler had become the bizarre sensation of the forest, a daredevil of the nut-eating world. He knew his stunts were audacious, but he was a rebel squirrel with a zest for life – and for nuts – unlike any other. As the sun set on that fateful day, Nutty Nibbler remained perched upside-down, ready to face whatever insanity tomorrow would bring to his world of nuts and glory. The forest had never seen such a spectacle, and in that fleeting moment, it felt as if even the trees themselves were holding their breath, waiting to see what wild feat the red squirrel would attempt next.

I took yesterday off and spent the day cruising and walking around Shenandoah National Park hoping to see and photograph some Bear Cubs. Unfortunately, that wasn't in the cards and while I did see 4 or 5 bears (no cubs), I didn't get any great shots of them. What was supposed to be an entirely overcast day turned into clear blue skies and bright sun by about 9am, killing a lot of photo opportunities. I did however get to witness a number of strutting Turkeys, which was pretty cool. This pair were just south of Big Meadows, doing their thing right in the Middle of Skyline Drive. I managed to pull over and watch them for a few minutes but once I tried to step out of the car for a different angle, they fled into the woods. Oh well. It's such a funny mentality out there...cars...fine...but even open the door slightly and it's "OH HELL NO...RUNNNNN!!!"

Almost looks like the eagle is doing arial tricks for the enjoyment of the Seagulls nearby.
It was very windy today along the river with 30-40 mph winds. Which meant not as much activity on the lake, but I did catch this one using the wind to his advantage.
Blue Hyacinth Macaw he was quite the funny one!
Loved to pose and showoff!
They have a pair of them at the zoo I do not know the names
but I call them George and Gracie :) They are so funny!
