The southern ground hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) is one of two species of ground hornbill, both of which are found solely within Africa. They are carnivorous and hunt mostly on the ground. Their food ranges from insects to small vertebrates. Their nests are often found in high tree cavities or other shallow cavities, such as rock holes in cliff faces. These birds are a long-lived species, having lifespans in the range of 50–60 years, and up to 70 in captivity.
Linyanti Wildlife Reserve, Botswana.
Conservation status:Vulnerable
Status
Resident, winter visitor from Iceland and passage migrant (birds on passage from Scandinavia/the Baltic breeding areas to west African wintering areas). Highest numbers occur during the early autumn, when there is overlap of the populations.
Identification
As the name suggests, its most distinctive feature is the leg colour - bright red. A common wader of wetlands throughout the country, though mainly coastal estuaries in winter. A generally mouse brown bird with dark streaking. Bill medium length and straight, reddish at the base. Legs relatively long. Can occur in quite large numbers at the larger estuaries.
Voice
An hyterical, piercing "tew…hoo, tew…hoo", always loud - often scaring other birds away. Persisitent "tew.. tew...tew.." at breeding grounds.
Diet
Detect prey visually and feed mostly during the day along the upper shore of estuaries and along muddy river channels. Feed singly or in small groups, and their prey consists mostly of Hydrobia sp., Corophium sp. and nereid worms
Breeding
Nests on the ground in grassy tussock, in wet, marshy areas and occasionally heather. Adults often keep guard standing on fence posts or high rocks. Breeds mainly in midlands (especially Shannon Callows) and northern half of the country, but not commonly anywhere in Ireland.

Harris’s Sparrow has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Near Threatened www.iucnredlist.org/species/22721082/179974375
The Harris’s Sparrow has the distinction of being the only bird species whose breeding range is found entirely in Canada. It nests in northern latitudes from near Churchill, northern Manitoba, to the shore of the Arctic Ocean near Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. These birds spend the North American winter in southcentral USA. This nonbreeding individual was seen in a residential neighbourhood of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in early October — which would be late autumn for many species, but we’re talking about a creature with Canuck heritage…

I'm not really sure about the status of these spectacular wildflowers as the literature is variable, but it seems they are considered somewhat rare and protected. Here, there are areas abounding in them, carpeting the forest floor in white in a beautiful spring display, another of the annual events to eagerly anticipate. I tried to take a number of photos showing the abundance but was unhappy with the results. Suffice it to say that in certain forested areas, it is difficult to take a step without crushing a flower. I happened to catch them at their flawless prime as shown here with another specimen in comments.

Getting these while I can. JRF's EF65 electric locomotives are slowly being pulled from regular freight service. Originally built in the 1960's, and with their last mass overhaul in 2022, these boxcabs have more or less hit the end of their service life. Due to that, any EF65 hauled train, especially on JR East, will garner the attention of tori-tetsu.
On the north end of the Tokaido Main Line, two freight trains are EF65 hauled. However, they're scheduled to run during nocturnal hours. Now that summer is near, early sunrises have given the opportunity to shoot these rarified locomotives in daylight. Here, a group of 10-15 railfans and I shoot EF65-2092 exiting Komekami Tunnel, just south of Odawara.

"Addison" an 8 year old cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and one of her six cubs born on November 21, 2015. This is the largest litter ever delivered at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park's Cheetah Breeding Center. Four cubs are female and two are male.
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is one of nine facilities in the Cheetah Breeding Center coalition. There are only 10,000 cheetahs left (with 10% in captive programs). Conservation Status: Vulnerable
On the morning of June 10, the animal care team released 14 live bass into the polar bear's main pool and a bear party followed. All three were in the wagter and all were successful in making multiple catches.
This was the final release of fish (6 of 6) funded by the 2018 Ocelots Grants Program Awards. It's been fabulous enrichments for the bears and for those of us who enjoy watching them.
This is 24 year old Chinook (Ursus maritimus) preparing to eat another of her catches. She often uses her large paws as a plate.
Conservation status: Vulnerable

Maybe this owl does not look amused because it suffers from Irritable Owl Syndrome, ha, ha. So many owl species tend to have an "angry" expression. An up close and personal shot of a little Burrowing Owl, who resides at the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre in Coaldale, southern Alberta, a wonderful place that rehabilitates and releases (whenever possible) various birds of prey - hawks, owls, Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, and Golden Eagles. Some of these birds act as Wildlife Ambassadors, too, educating the public.
""As a result of its ENDANGERED Species status in 1995, it has the focus of a variety of conservation efforts. Operation Burrowing Owl and other projects involving habitat preservation with landowners have been created. Populations are monitored by Fish and Wildlife departments. They have been reintroduced into the British Columbia interior, where it was extirpated. Outlook would improve if larger areas of habitat were preserved and harmful pesticides were banned in all areas of their range. Numbers could increase if an increased tolerance to burrowing mammals develops (i.e. badgers) – provides homes for the Burrowing Owl. Outlook: perilous." From burrowingowl.com.

I have only ever once seen a Burrowing Owl - two, possibly three of them - in the wild, and I was so very lucky to get that chance. To say that it was a thrill is an understatement! These endangered owls are tiny and so difficult to see, especially when they are down in the grasses. I may add a previously posted photo of a wild one in a comment box below.
It had been a few years since my last visit to the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre - I had only been maybe three or four times - and I had been longing to go back. Much too far and all new driving territory for me to even think about driving there myself. However, on 9 September 2016, that is exactly what I did. A friend had said she would come along, too, but she emailed me at 1:00 am that morning to say that she assumed our trip had been cancelled, as she hadn't heard back about the time to meet. In fact, I had sent two emails giving the time, so I don't know what happened there. Very unfortunate, as it would have been great to have had company on such a long drive, and I know she would have had fun with her camera.
I knew it would be a long day and further than I would normally drive - and in a brand new car that I had/have yet to learn to drive! It didn't look or feel quite as new after travelling 481 km! Only got lost twice, one minor and the other major. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere way down south and I ended up in the city of Lethbridge, that I had very carefully planned to avoid. After driving for three and three-quarter hours, I finally arrived at my destination, to my huge relief.
Despite getting there later than I had hoped, I still had more than enough time to wander round the grounds and photograph the various raptors. Some were tethered out in a grassy area and others, including this Burrowing Owl, were in outdoor cages. It looks like this one had an injury to its beak? Wonderful to get such a close look at the various majestic birds.
I took a slightly different way home via #845 (?), making absolutely sure that I didn't accidentally find myself in Lethbridge again and it wasn't too long before I found myself in the area that I had driven weeks ago, when I went SW of Vulcan to look for Common Nighthawks (without any luck).
Just so happy that I finally made myself do this drive. When I Googled the Centre's website, I had discovered that they were closing two days later for the winter. So, it was either a case of going the next day or not at all till next May onward.
The day after this adventure, 10 September 2016, I took my daughter on a long drive in Kananaskis. This was yet another place that I had longed to be able to drive for many years - and finally I did it! I had been lots of times with various friends, but this was the very first time I had ever driven myself. We had planned to do this a few weeks earlier, but then my car had major repairs that needed to be done. Instead, I knew I just couldn't put any more money into my 17-year-old car, and I ended up replacing it. So glad we went on this particular day, as it snowed the following day.

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.
