Sunday the 8th of June was the event Time Attack held on circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands, including time trials of various japanese goodies and various drift teams.
Street-legal cars are competing in different classes to weed out the slowest cars so that only the fastest meet in the final later in the year.
While sitting for an hour waiting for a flying shot of the Osprey (who had been sitting on his perch) a Great Egret landed 2 feet from me. To my surprise the Male Osprey didn't like this intruder on his marsh even though he was more than 100 ft from the nest. I was lucky to catch the Osprey attack and chase the Egret off of his territory.
On a recent chilly late December morning, I was visiting the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge on the California/Oregon border. I spotted a Northern Harrier cruising along one of the canals parallel to the auto route. Suddenly, she dove straight into the canal and there was a ruckus of splashing and flapping.
She had a American Coot in her talons, and was holding its head underwater to drown it.
After a minute, the coot’s wings stopped beating the water and went limp. The harrier held her victim under for another minute or two for good measure.
Then, inexplicably, the harrier released her prey and flew off.
The coot’s head popped up and it paddled away at a leisurely pace as if nothing had happened, seemingly not too much worse for the wear. If only I had that kind of power to forgive and forget.
There were three red-tail hawks in the hood today. That's one too many. Two of them were attacking the third one tag-team style...taking turns, one for a while, then the other. Look at the following shots in the photostream to see more of the battle, and some of the serious damage inflicted on the lower one in this shot. A third of one of his wings is missing!
It was really exciting to see, although I wish they were closer! I had four different sessions over a period of 5 hours. These guys are dedicated! Although they were not that close to me, I managed some decent shots. Got a lot more, and I'll try to get a few more posted soon. Be sure to see the rest previous to this one in the photostream.
