Male cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) currently living with his brother at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and part of SDZG's Cheetah Breeding Center, one of only nine such facilities and part of the cheetah breeding coalition.
In 1900, there were over 100,000 cheetahs across their historic range. Today, an estimated 9,000 to 12,000 cheetahs remain in the wild in Africa. In Iran, there are around 200 cheetahs living in small isolated populations.

Why is World Parrot Day so important to this cockatoo?
In late 2021, the rare and striking palm cockatoo had its conservation status reclassified from least concern to endangered following a recent population drop. Major habitat loss has been cited as the primary cause of the species’ decline. Australia’s palm cockatoos are found only in the rainforests of Cape York Peninsula, at the northern tip of Queensland. Land clearing due to mining and worsening bushfires due to climate change are shrinking the species’ already limited viable habitat.
Making matters worse, the palm cockatoo has an unusually slow rate of reproduction. Females lay only a single egg every two years. Research suggests that chick loss to due predation results in palm cockatoo pairs only producing—on average—a single offspring every ten years. There are thought to be fewer than 1,500 birds remaining in the wild. (Source: www.aviculturehub.com.au/)
While photographing in the Cape York Peninsula in November 2022, we went out five nights in a row to look for these birds as they came in from a day of foraging. We were lucky to watch this particular male on several nights when he called loudly to claim his territory and bring in his mate. See flic.kr/p/2oEf6eG for a photo of the pair.
It was incredible being able to watch these birds on multiple evenings and witness a wide range of behaviors including the famous drumming they do with sticks and hard nuts; this behavior has earned them the nickname "Ringo Star."

MIS PRIMERAS FOTOS DE NUESTRO GAVILAN ENDEMICO EN EL PLAN PILOTO DE REINTRODUCCION DE LA ESPECIE EN PUNTA CANA!!
Un dia maravilloso junto a Sergio Bitrán nuestro invitado de honor y junto a los amigos Dax Roman, Huascar Perez, Tony Parra y Arturo Mendez.
Endémico de República Dominicana, el gavilán de La Hispaniola (Buteo ridgwayi) se encuentra en peligro de extinción, con menos de 350 ejemplares registrados. Como gran parte de esta población se encuentra restringida al Parque Nacional Los Haitises, se trata del halcón estudiado más amenazado del mundo, de acuerdo con estudios realizados por The Peregrine Fund, organización internacional sin fines de lucro dedicada desde 1970 al estudio y protección de las aves rapaces.
Por este motivo, la especie está incluida en la Lista Roja de Especies local y en la lista roja de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN). ¿Existe en el país algún programa para evitar que desaparezca? Sí. El proyecto Conservación del Gavilán de La Hispaniola mantiene iniciativas de monitoreo, reintroducción y educación ambiental orientadas a enfrentar las amenazas y preservar su hábitat.
Este proyecto es ejecutado por la Fundación Propa-Gas en alianza con The Peregrine Fund y la colaboración de la Fundación Punta Cana, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y el Parque Zoológico Nacional. Según explica la Fundación Propa-gas, estas iniciativas buscan sensibilizar sobre el cuidado del gavilán, garantizar la preservación de su hábitat, monitorear sus desplazamientos, brindar atención veterinaria a la población de ejemplares en su hábitat natural y procurar su reintegración a las nuevas áreas.
La reintroducción desde los Haitises donde el ave estaba confinada hasta hace poco hacia la parte este del país, especificamente en Punta Cana, donde se lleva un programa monitorizado de la especie con mucho éxito conducido por Thomas Hayes, Coordinador del Proyecto Halcón del gavilán de la Hispaniola y biólogo de campo.

STATUS: ESPECIE AMENAZADA Y ENDEMICA DE COLOMBIA
Lugar de captura: Reserva Monteverde de Priscilla Burcher y Ernesto Uribe.

LA JOYA DE LA CORONA DE NUESTRA TRAVESIA COLOMBIANA. LOS HIJOS DE PRISCILLA BURCHER.
El Chango Colombiano es un ave ENDÉMICA de nuestro país y se encuentra amenazada de extinción en la categoría VULNERABLE (VU). Pertenece al género monotípico Hypopyrrhus que significa de color rojo por debajo, derivado de las ráices griegas hupo=por debajo y pur= rojo, candela. El epíteto nuevamente hace alusión a su vientre rojo.
El macho mide alrededor de 30 cm y la hembra 27 cm. Es una especie inconfundible. Tienen pico negro cónico y agudo, y ojos blancos amarillento. ES un ave negra con abdomen e infracaudales rojo brillante y las tibias negras. En la mano, plumas de toda la cabeza, nuca y garganta, son estrechas y con raquis engrosados y brillantes.
Es una especie monotípica y no tiene especie similares.
Es un ave endémica. Se distribuye entre los 1200 a 1700 metros pero posiblemente mas bajo. Se encuentra a la mitad del norte de la cordillera Occidental sur hasta el extremo norte del Valle (en el cerro de Tatamá), mitad del norte de la cordillera Central sur hasta norte del Tolima en el Nevado del Tolima; río Toche), cabecera del valle del Magdalena en el este y sur del Huila y la vertiente este de la cordillera Oriental en el oeste de Caquetá.
Es un ave rara y local. Se encuentra en el dosel de selva húmeda y bordes en piedemonte y montañas. Fue inicialmente conocido de un número de localidades alrededor de Medellín y colinas sobre el valle bajo del Cauca, ahora son zonas casi completamente deforestadas.
Se alimentan de insectos y arañas, que buscan en los troncos de los árboles, el rastrojo bajo y en el suelo bajo las hojas secas. También consumen frutos.
Se mantiene usualmente en pequeños grupos activos y gregarios en copas de los árboles en bordes. Es un ave solitaria durante la reproducción pero en otras épocas se mantiene en grupos de 6 a 8 individuos. A veces se ve con bandadas mixtas o con oropéndolas. Salta y trepa por el follaje exterior y a veces se cuelga cabeza abajo.
ESTADO DE CONSERVACION:
Su estado de preocupación es: vulnerable.
La mayor amenaza para Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster es la pérdida de hábitat ya que la mayoría de zonas donde era común han sido deforestadas, particularmente en la cordillera Central.
Algunas poblaciones de esta especie están en áreas protegidas como el P.N.N. Cueva de los Guácharos, P.N.N. Cordillera de los Picachos, P.N.N. Las Orquídeas y P.N.N. Tatamá. Es muy común en la Reserva Natural La Forzosa, Reserva Municipal La Serrana, Reserva Municipal Alto La Romera y Reserva Ecológica Alto San Miguel.
Es urgente realizar estudios que determinen las posibles causas de extinción regional de la especie. Debe fortalecerse la protección efectiva en áreas como el P.N.N. las Orquídeas y establecer áreas protegidas en otros sectores de la cordillera Occidental y en la cordillera Central. Ademas, de que se debe ser impulsado por las corporaciones regionales un programa de educación y prevención del comercio de esta especie.
Gran fin de semana.

* Manjuila, Loggerhead Kingbird (Tyrannus caudifasciatus gabbii)
* Status: Residente No Comun (Inc). Sub Especie Endemica
La subespecie Tyrannus caudifasciatus gabbii), endémica de La Española, separada por las clasificaciones Aves del Mundo (HBW) y Birdlife International (BLI) con base en diferencias morfológicas y de vocalización.
La Manjuila también llamada pitirre guatíbere, pitirre cantor, guatíbere o clérigo (Tyrannus caudifasciatus gabbii) es una especie de avepaseriforme de la familia Tyrannidae.
Existen 6 sub-especies: Cuba (Tyrannus caudifasciatus caudifasciatus), Jamaica (yrannus caudifasciatus jamaicensis), Puerto Rico (Tyrannus caudifasciatus taylori), Bahamas (Tyrannus caudifasciatus bahamensis) y las Islas Caimán (Tyrannus caudifasciatus caymanensis), y la Nuestra que antes mencionamos.
Mide unos 23 cm de largo. La cabeza y el cuello son de color negro mate y el resto del dorso es gris oscuro. La cola es negra pero con el ápice más pálido y rojizo y con ribete blanco ceniciento en el extremo; su corte terminal es redondeado. Las partes inferiores son mayormente blanco grisáceas, pero con tono algo amarillento en las axilas y en las cobertoras inferiores de la cola. El pico y los pies son negros. En la coronilla tiene una manchita anaranjada clara o amarilla que en el inmaduro está ausente, además este se distingue del adulto por tener las alas con barrados parduzcos. Su canto parece decir “te-te-til guatíbere”.
Se posan solos en perchas sin hojas para ver sus presas. Cuando cortejan se posan enfrentados, engrifan la coronilla, levantan mucho la cola y dejan las alas algo caídas, aparentando las preliminares de una pelea. Se alimentan de insectos voladores grandes, de lagartijas y frutas pequeñas.

I may not be a mother in the literal sense but... in honour of my status as "oldest bitch in the house," I was granted a not-so-rare but very-much-appreciated day of my own designing yesterday. Mike took care of Echo and... for the first time in ages... I walked my old regular camera route. I passed the same things I see every day but... without little Echo... the difference is I'm free to stop and sniff and explore what interests ME!
I spotted this heron fishing off a rocky beach and slowly, stealthily, sneaked up on it. For what seemed a long time we both stood (okay, I was crouching) motionless, waiting for the same thing - for fish to come along, and the heron to grab one. I was thinking "action shot."
But the fishing was apparently not so good. And the heron flew off to another beach where he picked at barnacles and other foodstuffs that can't run or swim for their lives. Of course I followed him. And sneaked up even closer. And was able to get some tighter shots of his hairdo - which was changing dramatically and crazily in the gale-force gusts. I almost felt bad when I got home and did the download - he just looks so undignified. I'm tempted to do a multi-shot conglomerate that shows all his different do's... each one cuter than the last.
I also got some great shots of him in flight. And... for all the years I've been watching herons... I was kind of shocked to see big bright patches of pinky red on his (her?) wings. I had no idea they had this colouration. You can't really see it except when the wings are out.

Plain Pigeon / Paloma Ceniza (Patagioenas inornata )
Status: Non Common Resident (Residente No Comun)
Near Threatened (Amenazada)
The plain pigeon / Paloma Ceniza (Patagioenas inornata) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Its natural habitats are forest, woodland, coastal desert, mangrove and swampy areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The plain pigeon is a large-bodied bird (38 cm [15 in]) that superficially resembles the common city pigeon. At a distance it appears pale blue-gray overall. The head, hind-neck, breast, and part of the folded wing are colored with a red-wine wash. When folded, the wing shows a white leading edge; in flight, it forms a conspicuous wing bar. Legs and feet are dark red. The female is slightly smaller and duller than the male. Juveniles are browner overall, with pale wing margins and dark eyes.
Three subspecies of the plain pigeon are recognized: P. i. inornata from Cuba and Hispaniola, P. i. exigua from Jamaica, and P. i. wetmorei from Puerto Rico.

More snow but it lasted a bit longer this morning but there wasn't many birds to be seen any where. A quick grab shot today it was too cold to stay out for long.
Maker Faire today at Centre for Life, Newcastle. RuBot II - The Fastest Robotic Guinness World Record For Solving Rubik's Cube!
The robot holds the cube up to his eyes and then he rotates it. It appears that he's doing color recognition of each face and then it robotically solves the puzzle (no need to look anymore). So step 1, pick up the cube, step 2 get the status of the cube faces, step 3 figure a plan of action, step 4 rotate the cube back to normal, step 5 set it down and say thanks.
