Three shot series. I watched this grebe for about 40 minutes as she diligently caught fish after fish and made sure both chicks were fed.

This is what happens when I can't think of a concept for an entire week. SOZZ. "Patterns" as a theme was the hardest one yet, I think.

Red Shouldered Hawk usually hunts by watching from a perch, either within forest or in open, swooping down when it locates prey. Sometimes flies very low in open areas, taking creatures by surprise. May use hearing as well as sight to locate prey.
So close were they to her, kissing sweet at first, frantically later, that she would almost feel she was part of the scene more than she would have ever wanted...
What would you scream in your mind.... "Get a room!" or "Good for you!"?

I believe this is a Northern Short-tailed Shrew and I have no idea what it is doing with the "wiggling" abdomen?

Potoos are nocturnal insectivores which lack the bristles around the mouth found in the true nightjars. They hunt from a perch like a shrike or flycatcher. During the day they perch upright on tree stumps, camouflaged to look like part of the stump. The single spotted egg is laid directly on the top of a stump. The mother sits in a cryptic pose with the chick on top of the stump.
I took this picture while on a photo tour led by Jeff Munoz of Rainforest Photo Tours (rainforestphototours.com).
Mannen en de afmeting van gevangen vissen: Het typische trofee-gedrag is waarschijnlijk nog een overblijfsel uit de oertijd, toen de man nog jager/verzamelaar was.
De vis op het droge denkt er zo 't zijne van.
Men and the size of the fish they caught: This typical 'trophy behavior' of men is probably a relic from primative times, when he was still a collector / hunter.
The fish out of water has its own thoughts on this.
Les hommes et les tailles des poissons capturés: le 'comportement de trophées' de l'homme est probablement un vestige de début de l'histoire, quand il était un collectionneur / chasseur ..
Le poisson 'hors de l'eau' a ses propres pensées à ce sujet.

We need to be more conscious of the consequences of our day to day activities. There are others here beside us that don't have much say in what goes on.

Knowing better, TRAINUT, KELEKA and myself were out in rural Dekalb County shooting long exposures of lightning. Here we have a 30 second exposure and a huge flashover of lightning that lit up the immediate area like a strobe. Earlier, one large curtain of lightning and/or a nearby ground strike set off these crossing gates. Of course the lesson was not learned. TRAINUT was off frame, on the rails photographing while light painting. After two close strikes that raised the hair on my skin after this shot, we were out of there! ... or was it the rain that caused us to leave!

I was watching from our back porch at this American Kestrel atop a Royal Palm several hundred feet away. He was so far away that I had to use my 10X42 bird watching binoculars just to identify the species. Suddenly, he took off flying in my general direction, over the house and on to the other side. I went into the house and looked out one of the front windows to discover him on this utility pole across the street. I grabbed my camera, which I have set up just for occasions such as this, and went outside. I shot several dozen frames. Unfortunately, they were all pretty similar and I kept just this one.
The American Kestrel is the smallest and most common falcon in North America. It has a roughly two-to-one range in size over subspecies and sex, varying in size from about the weight of a blue jay to a mourning dove. It also ranges to South America and is a well-established species that has evolved seventeen subspecies adapted to different environments and habitats throughout the Americas. It exhibits sexual dimorphism in size (females being moderately larger) and plumage, although both sexes have a rufous back with noticeable barring. Its plumage is colorful and attractive, and juveniles are similar in plumage to adults. Based on appearance and behavior it was for many years considered a member of the primarily European and African kestrel clade within the genus Falco, but DNA analysis shows the American Kestrel to actually be genetically more closely related to the larger American falcons such as the Aplomado, Peregrine, and Prairie Falcons. Though the species has not been renamed as a result of these genetic analyses, it is not actually a kestrel in the phylogenetic sense. Instead, a process of convergent evolution to fit a similar small prey niche in the ecosystem as the true kestrels has left it with similar physical characteristics and hunting methods. The American Kestrel is a common bird used in falconry, especially by beginners. Though not as strong a flyer as many other larger falcons, proper training and weight control by the falconer allows many American kestrels to become effective hunters of birds in the size range of sparrows and starlings, with occasional success against birds up to approximately twice their own weight.

Child behavioral series: I recently photographed this little boy at his parent's home. After a while he started make-believing he was a tiger -- his favorite animal. A few minutes later, he was growing bored and tired, and want his mother's attention, who was in the kitchen. He wasn't getting her attention at first, so he laid down on the kitchen floor, under her feet. Within a few minutes he was content, and asleep on the floor. Their moods change so quickly at this age! (This series of images was photographed with the Canon 7D, using a 50mm f1.4 lens @ about f2.0. The lighting was just available light from florescent over head.)
