I wish people would give the Short-eared Owls some space. This guy is walking right through the hillside where they hunt for squirrels, voles, and other small rodents. Not pictured here, yet about 100 yards away to the left, are two other photographers crouched down in some bushes directly above where I've observed one of the SEOWs perch for long periods of time. There was also someone trampling down the bushes about 50 yards to the right of him. With that many people traipsing all over their hunting grounds, I'm afraid they'll be scared off. When people are trampling all over the hillside they are interfering with the owl's ability to hunt, by driving their prey underground.
I haven't gotten any fantastic Nat Geo quality photos of them, but I've been thrilled just to observe their interactions from afar. I'm afraid these poor owls are going to be loved to death.

The story is....on my husband's sandtrap, there hover many, many, many little black striped flying things that look like bees...but they are very passive...they just hover. they have little holes dug out of the sand, which they keep very neat and tidy....then along comes this BIG galoot....all bright orange and yellow, and when it flies in, it gets the little black striped guys all crazy. They actually dive bomb it, trying to knock it down to the ground. After a few close calls the big orange and yellow one enters the little cave...then backs out with it's front arms carrying a wad of dirt, which it proceeds to smooth out in front of the hole...it does this several times before flying off for a few moments and then comes back and the process begins all over again!! i am now going to bed...i am going to pull out my insect book (I am such a nerd!!) and find out what this is all about!! Once again the 3 year old me needs to know "WHY?"!!
Observer note, 2017
I experienced a psychological trauma from the threat of an unknown man knocking my door suddenly at the dawn. After that, I noticed a scribble next to the doorbell, and to my surprise later I found all other doors in the building had the same kind of scribbles.
I could figure out the observer's minute daring eyes who had made a small scribble next to a doorbell by reckoning the fact that something in a close distance can't be noticed easily. From that I also assumed its content and his intention. The changes in my psychology about the 'anxiety' have led me to feel anxious about my space which was once safest. For sure, someone had observed and he/she wrote its record next to doorbells. This ambiguous behavior colors daily lives with sense of anxiety.
When the scribbles were noticed, they were close to drawings rather than scribbles and a strange formativeness was coming out from them. Being similar to a signature, they came into my mind as an ambiguous form neither as a letter nor as a symbol. Collecting the scribbles on the wall through cameras removed the information about the place and shaping the scribbles made me focus on the encrypted symbols. Once the works completed going through various processes are put on the wall of a gallery (a white box) which has deep gap from our daily life, the connecting point of a relationship between the observer and residents has been removed.

I've had the company of a generation or two , or three of these tiny jumping spiders that live in between my window and the bug screen. I bought a pair of laser pointers (red & green) that I've been messing around with for about a week, when I noticed one day that they reacted to my green laser pointer while I pointed it out of the window. One of them scurried over to the green spot with haste! Some of them react aversively, others sometimes aggressively chasing the bright spot. I setup my Canon 60D to record a behavioral test session with my leading subject, Earl. Sourced From Wiki, I learned that "Jumping spiders have very good vision centered in their anterior median eyes (AME). These eyes are able to create a focused image on the retina, which has up to four layers of receptor cells in it (Harland & Jackson, 2000). Physiological experiments have shown that they may have up to four different kinds of receptor cells, with different absorption spectra, giving them the possibility of up to tetrachromatic color vision, with sensitivity extending into the ultraviolet range. It seems that all salticids, regardless of whether they have two, three, or four kinds of color receptors, are highly sensitive to UV light (Peaslee & Wilson, 1989). Some species (for example, Cosmophasis umbratica) are highly dimorphic in the UV spectrum, suggesting a role in sexual signaling (Lim & Li, 2005). Color discrimination has been demonstrated in behavioral experiments."CAT Eye Photography | Facebook | 500PX | Twitter | About Me |
This is a Tutelina elegans male, the jumping spider with the weird "eyebrows". After spotting this ant, in order to get to it, the spider took a route behind a stem, peered around the stem and then finally started to make his move.
But having snuck up on this meal, he was hesitant to pounce. At first I thought the spider hesitated because the spider was not very smart and a bit of a bumbler.
After some research, it looks like the ant could be an acrobat ant (Crematogaster). After noticing the spider, the ant went into "alarm posture" www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Natural-History/Communication/.... I can't say for sure what the ant is thinking but wikipedia says: "When in conflict, acrobat ants can release a venom by flexing their abdominal regions. The effectiveness of the venom varies greatly with the opposer to the ant." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crematogaster
After capturing the ant, the Tutelina did what seemed to be a "happy dance", at times putting one or both front legs up, or hoisting the ant into the air. I've never seen a spider emote in such a way so maybe the "dance" served some other purpose.

Id corrections appreciated.
My #40 spider for this year.
Reproductive behavior and life history
Steller Sea Lions congregate on rocks in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia Steller Sea Lions congregate on rocks in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia
Reproductively mature male sea lions aggregate in May on traditional, well-defined reproductive rookeries, usually on beaches on isolated islands. The larger, older males establish and defend distinct territories on the rookery. A week or so later, adult females arrive, accompanied occasionally by sexually immature offspring, and form fluid aggregations throughout the rookery. Like all other otariids, Steller sea lions are polygynous. However, unlike most other species, they do not coerce individual females into harems but control spatial territories among which females freely move about.
Pregnant females give birth soon after arriving on a rookery, and copulation generally occurs one to two weeks after giving birth, but the fertilized egg does not become implanted in the uterus until the fall. After a week or so of nursing without leaving the rookery, females begin to take progressively longer and more frequent foraging trips leaving their pups behind, until at some point in late summer the mother and pup both leave the rookery. Reproductive males fast throughout the reproductive season, often without entering the water once from mid-May until August, at which point the structure of the reproductive rookeries begins to fall apart and most animals leave for the open seas and disperse throughout their range.
Age at weaning is highly variable, pups may remain with their mothers for as long as 4 years. Incidents of mothers feeding daughters who are simultaneously feeding their own newborn pups have been documented, an extremely rare occurrence among mammals.
