Secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) or secretarybird, a large and mostly terrestrial bird of prey endemic to Africa. Its taxonomic name, Sagittarius serpentarius, means “the archer of snakes” and it is famous for its snake-hunting abilities. San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Conservation status: vulnerable
A masked lapwing or spur winged plover, Vanellus miles, chick that I think was less than two days old. Unfortunately, the parents did not stay very close to it so I did not get a reasonable photo of the chick and one of its parents together. Its height was less than the height of its parents knees (see next photo). I kept my distance because masked plovers will defend the chicks and they have spurs on their wings with which they could attack.
Masked lapwings do not always choose good places to nest. They have been known to nest on railway tracks. This pair probably nested on the ground in the backyard of a house. They would often go onto quite a busy road and did not stop the chick going onto the road.

I noticed these beautiful golden stalks of wheat in a field close to me so I stopped and took a couple of shots. I liked these random sunflowers sprouting up.

A beautiful and uncommon bulbul endemic to Southern India. They are found in scrub habitats around rocky hills and currently classified as "Vulnerable" in the IUCN list due to their habitats being constantly threatened. These birds are found only maybe in a dozen places across the country - all of them in South India. Many of the habitats are under "development" or damaged due to grazing or quarrying. Further, the distribution is highly fragmented making conservation a challenge.
The bird's behaviour is quite similar to the other bulbuls and physically sometimes confused with the white-browed bulbul -- especially the female - which is also found in the same habitat.
I had visited this temple on the edge of a hill that overlooks a forest. In this hot summer where temperatures are already at a record high, birds come to the water drip to grab a few drops of water. We waited there and were fortunate to see some action of these birds - catching insects and drinking water.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five species in the genus Panthera, a member of the Felidae. The leopard occurs in a wide range in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because leopard populations are threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation and are declining in large parts of the global range.
Contemporary records suggest that the leopard occurs in only 25% of its historical global range. Leopards are hunted illegally, and their body parts are smuggled in the wildlife trade for medicinal practices and decoration.
Compared to other wild cats, the leopard has relatively short legs and a long body with a large skull. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but generally has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
The leopard is distinguished by its well-camouflaged fur, opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength (which it uses to move heavy carcasses into trees), as well as its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rainforest to steppe, including arid and montane areas, and its ability to run at speeds of up to 58 kilometres per hour (36 mph)- Wikipedia
Excercising along the Grand Western Canal again today and I came across another kingfisher in a different section of the canal. That's 3 in three days which is really great to see.
In the Winter, White Squirrels have the advantage ,as they blend in with the snow on the ground and trees. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the year they stand out and are an easy target for prey. ( raptors,foxes,coyotes and domestic dogs)
The barasingha, also called swamp deer, is a deer species distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Populations in northern and central India are fragmented, and two isolated populations occur in southwestern Nepal. It has been extirpated in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and its presence is uncertain in Bhutan.
The swamp deer differs from all other Indian deer species in that the antlers carry more than three tines. Because of this distinctive character it is designated bārah-singgā, meaning "twelve-horned" in Hindustani. Mature stags usually have 10 to 14 tines, and some have been known to have up to 20.
In Assamese, barasingha is called dolhorina; dol meaning swamp. (Wikipedia)

Greater one-horned rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) mom named "Tanaya" lives with her young female calf (born April 11, 2020) in the 40 acre Asian Plains Field exhibit of the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The red-bellied grackle is endemic to Colombia where it is found in all three Andean ranges at altitudes of 800 to 2,400m (2,600 to 7,900ft) above sea level.
Its natural habitat is tropical forest, but the trees are increasingly being felled for timber and to make way for agriculture, and little virgin forest remains within its range.
H. pyrohypogaster was formerly classified as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature but in 2012 the threat level was lowered to "vulnerable". This is on the basis that, although its forest habitat remains under pressure, it has been found at some new locations where it was not known before. The total population is now estimated to be in the range 2,500 to 9,999 individuals.
