Mute swan - Höckerschwan - Cygnus olor

I love to watch animals, learn about their behavior, enjoy their playfulness and cleverness and all their specific ways of living in their different habitats.

These Hyacinth Aras live in a free flight aviary in the Wuppertal Zoo - not as free as they would in their South American habitat ....

Le Rosenborg Slot (Château de la Rose) est situé au Øster Voldgade 4 à København (Copenhague), la capitale du Danemark.

 

Une vue vers le nord-ouest à partir du vaste jardin Kongens Have qui borde au sud-est le château.

 

De 1606 à 1624, Christian IV se fit bâtir, à partir de ses propres esquisses, cette résidence d’été à la périphérie de la ville où il se sentait à l’étroit. D’agrandissement en agrandissement, ce château du style Renaissance hollandaise qu’il affectionnait, devint sa résidence préférée qu’il nomma Rosenborg en l’honneur de sa 2e épouse Kirsten Munk dont le blason était fait de 3 roses. C’est là qu’il mourut en 1648.

 

Dès 1710, Rosenborg fut délaissé, Frederik IV le jugeant trop petit. Ainsi les intérieurs, peu habités, ont-ils été bien conservés et sont restés pratiquement inchangés. Le château abrite depuis 1658 le trésor de la couronne (joyaux et insignes) et est devenu musée en 1833.

While observing the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) rut in Oklahoma last November, Caro and I were lucky enough to witness some grooming and bond reinforcement behavior between various does and older fawns.

The black-winged stilt (Himantopus himantopus)

This family of Embden Geese was seen near sunset on the main pond at Newhall Park in Concord.

This is the same leaf I picked up on a walk, and shot and posted as "The End of the Journey." I thought I'd try to use it more than once, and I haven't used my wooden hand in awhile.

I was surprised to see the Gannets displaying mating behavior so late in the season. I asked at the information center and they said that was normal. They mate for life, separating when their chick leaves the nest after about 13-14 weeks and rejoin again the following year. Taken at Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland.

 

Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.

Explore July 5/09....Black-tailed deer. View Large On Black This species thrives on the edge of the forest, as the dark forest lacks the underbrush and grasslands that the deer prefers as food, and completely open areas lack the hiding spots and the cover it prefers for harsh weather. One of the plants that Black tailed deer browse is Western poison oak, in spite of this plant's content of toxins.[2] This deer often is most active at dawn and dusk, and is frequently involved in collisions with automobiles.

Ι spotted them three days ago during a mountain biking ride. Went back the next day to ''shoot'' them with my ''workhorse''. They were kind enough to offer me some unique moments.
