Kudu are highly alert and notoriously hard to approach. When they detect danger – often using their large, radar-like ears – they give a hoarse alarm bark, then flee with a distinctive, rocking-horse running motion, the male laying back his horns to avoid overhead obstructions.

I was pleased to see my old friend the wild female fox that lives off one of the many trails in Anchorage. It's been two years since I was able to visit and here she was giving quite a look to something that was making noise off in the distance.
Taken 21 February 2023 in Anchorage, Alaska.

I know, technically not correct, but never mind, it catches the eye :-))
This nesting pair of Osprey were on full alert protecting their young as another pair of Ospreys circled overhead.
The classic stance for these birds as they're looking and listening for worms. I've never understood how they can hear a worm move or wriggle under the grass and down in the soil! Amazing to me.
I found this lovely bird in our front yard on November 1st, 2022. Of course I was on my belly to get this low perspective, a place I often find myself when photographing wildlife :)
This will be my last Marten image for awhile. I couldn’t resist adding this pose where he shows off that unique patch of beige fur on his chest and those claws on his paws. Enjoy the weekend everyone.
This gorgeous little fellow was certainly very alert and keeping an eye on me while I was trying to move slowly in trying to capture that stance. Brave little fellow!
A lineman lookout blasts on his horn warning the rest of the team up the line to be aware of an approaching train.
He was quite busy foraging on a fallen tree for a few moments then he totally surprised me when he flew up and landed on a tree very close to where I was standing. I did not get the chance to zoom out to get his whole body in the frame, so I had to settle for a close up of his head and shoulders! :)
My energy drink can collection is now up to five and growing. Where this is going nobody knows. I can now say this is part of the energy drink series.
Each can was shot individually with my Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro with about a 6-10 image focus stack. They do seem to have a lot of potential for art. Five cans, a rectangular to polar coordinate conversion, a wavy window and yummy colors make this slider complete!
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS
Yes, all senses alert for quick changes in tricky mountain light. Mysteriously enough, i never bought a ND grad filter...but i will soon
Thanks for visiting
I've been spotted across the waterhole, but earlier the Wildebeest had been rutting and running behind them, they were anxious with all the commotion and nervous to approach to drink water. Adult female and juvenile male at Erindi private game reserve, Namibia

this Cheetah had made a kill and was resting after eating.
It had heard lions roaring nearby and is on high alert, raising its head regularly above the grass to check the area.
After spending some time with this beautiful cat we moved on and found 2 big male lions and a female a few hundred meters away.
