Brown Anole, Anolis sagrei, Caribbean native accidentally introduced to the US and elsewhere by the importation of ornamental plants. The pattern darkens in response to surroundings, for camouflage. Capable of high population densities, crowds out and preys on other lizards. Gulf Coast native Greens have been mostly relegated to treetops. Supposedly more wary of humans than Greens, but I took this through the kitchen window.
RKO_5610. Sitting on my deck these grebes came by and started their courtship dance. How lucky can you be!

Buck Brannaman says "The horse is a mirror to your soul."
This is not my horse.
I won't elaborate. But, I will say this:
It's not his fault...
This western grebe seemed to arrive in Colorado before the others and was seen swimming around in a local lake. The light on it was absolutely amazing.
Some filter out red eyes ... but certainly not on this grebe ... got to just love those eyes. Can't wait to see more of them this spring ... and hopefully can get their babies too. :-)
Happy Hump Day everyone ... where does the time go? Thanks for stopping by to view.

"Studies have linked violent behavior to the game, saying it promotes Satanic worship. Ritual sacrifice, suicide and even murder! We're the freaks because we like to play a fantasy game! But as long as you're into band or science or partiiieeesss...or a game where you toss balls into laundry baskets! Forced conformity, that's what's killing the kids. That's the real monster."

This Mew Gull in breeding plumage (the red eye ring) gives its feathers some careful attention.

It's easy to believe that hippos can be dangerous when you see those incredibly long, sharp teeth!
An adult bald eagle squawks as a sub-adult dive bombs it off its comfortable perch beside Cherry Creek Reservoir.. This is normal eagle behavior. They're always harassing each other, or try to steal from each other.
Rockport, Texas
Laughing Gulls use ritualized displays to keep order among themselves. These involve exaggerated calls and movements: Laughing Gulls threaten each other or simply claim space by extending the neck and head, lowering them toward the ground and calling, tossing the head backward repeatedly while calling, or ruffling their feathers, nodding the head, and flapping the wings. They signal submissiveness by turning the head away from their opponents (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Laughing_Gull/lifehistory).

This Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) was holding on to and swimming with the carcass of this Horn Shark; Both Alice and I got shots--the only photographers there. Mike Harris, local Sea Otter Biologist with California Fish and Wildlife arrived after the otter had gone. We sent Mike photos as well as Gena Bentall, Director/Senior Scientist with Sea Otter Savvy in Watsonville CA; According to Gena, its rare for California sea otters to feed on fish, but relatively common in Alaska and Russia; I did see, through binoculars, the otter nibble on areas of the shark's face; Mike thought it was a female otter; I'm glad I was "camera ready" for this natural history moment.

Captured this Welcome Swallow during a visit to the Hunter Wetlands Center (Shortland, NSW; Australia) today with long time friend and fellow flickr photographer Joe Micallef.
Maybe they are readying for the nesting season?
Hope you like this.

Baboons are some of the world’s largest monkeys. There are five species of baboon—olive, yellow, Chacma, Guinea, and Hamadryas—scattered across various habitats in Africa and Arabia.
The baboon, like other Old World monkeys, does not have a prehensile (gripping) tail, but it is still able to climb when necessary. All baboons have dog–like noses, powerful jaws, sharp canine teeth, and thick fur. The male baboon also has a ruff—a longer mane around its neck. The Chacma Baboon (Papio ursinus), also known as the Cape baboon, is, like all other baboons, from the Old World monkey family.
The Chacma Baboon is perhaps the longest species of monkey, with a male body length of 20–45 in (50–115 cm) and tail length of 18–33 in (45–84 cm). It also one of the heaviest; the male weighs from 46–99 lb (21–45 kg) with an average of 70 lb (31.8 kg). The smaller female Chacma weighs from 26–55 lb (12–25 kg), with an average of 34 lb (15.4 kg).
The chacma baboon is omnivorous with a preference for fruits, while also eating insects, seeds, grass, smaller vertebrate animals, and fungi (the desert truffle Kalaharituber pfeilii).
Located primarily in southern Africa, the chacma baboon has a wide variety of social behaviors, including a dominance hierarchy, collective foraging, adoption of young by females, and friendship pairings. – Wikipedia
It was a behavior I had not seen before. This snowy egret would fly around the small pond and drag its feet along the surface as it flew. Every once in a while, it would dart its head into the water attempting to grab a small fish. In this occasion, it came up empty. Oh well, time to try again! Taken at Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve.

Yay it's Friday!!!
When I grew up living in south Florida, that always mean that beach time was right around the corner. Of course, my beach combing days never looked like this! Sure I had my share of "oddities" walked along the beach. So when I woke up and started my day in Katmai, this is what I was met by ... a lone sub-adult brown bear walking along the beach towards me. I took a few images and did was I was told ... give the bear the right of way. Of course, why not?! These bears are quite free to cruise around, take naps, and of course play ... on the beach or anywhere else they feel like being.
I have always loved seeing footprints in the sand on the shore, but nothing is better than finding the paw prints of a bear that was there right before you.
Hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend planned ahead. :-)

A pair of Laysan albatross reestablishes their monogamous bond at the beginning of breeding season. After gliding solitary over the Pacific Ocean for most of the year, they return to the nesting grounds and perform elaborate recognition and courtship behaviors that include bumping their bills together, commonly referred to as “billing” or the “kiss of the albatross.” Besides the complex repertoire of tactile and visual displays, there may be olfactory recognition associated with the close contact. Laysan albatross, mōlī (Phoebastria immutabilis).
So happy to see the return of the wooducks. So beautiful in their color and markings that they almost to beautiful to be real. There were two males and one female and perhaps more will come but that was all that we saw and we were thrilled to see them. One looked like a young male and perhaps was learning a few lessons from Dad !!!
Wishing you all a blessed and lovely evening !!

The adults have an interesting behavior of feeding feathers to their chicks. This behavior is known as "feather feeding" or "feather regurgitation".
Feather feeding is believed to serve multiple functions:
1. Assisting with food digestion: The feathers act as a protective lining in the chick's stomach, aiding in the grinding and digestion of the solid food the chicks consume.
2. Providing nutrients: Feathers contain keratin, a protein-rich substance that can be partially digested. By regurgitating feathers, the adult grebes are providing their chicks with additional nutrients.
3. Encouraging food intake: In some cases, feather feeding might help stimulate the chicks to eat more solid food, especially during the transition from a diet primarily consisting of insects to a diet of fish.

King Cormorants (Phalacrocorax atriceps), also known as the Imperial Shag, interact with courtship behavior at their nesting site on Saunders Island Island in the Falkland Islands.
This group of young squirrels have played and posed for me for a few days in a row barely noticing that I am near. Near Aspendell, California in the Eastern Sierra.
A short eared owl scans the fields looking for something.
There is something about the way his body curves under those feathers that is interesting here. I don't think I have seen an owl shaped like that before.

Common Redstart...chirping, singing, calling at a pitch far louder than one would expect considering it's size.
To add to the pool of images from the rare sighting of Least Bitterns in SLO County, here are some images from a fun exchange this morning. First, I was shown exactly where the 3 little ones were in the reeds; Second, a Green Heron flies over very close to them; finally the Dad flies over and feeds two of the chicks, with odds looking like the closet chick was going to get the fish, but its persistent sibling behind was the victor this time.
