After a good walk on the boardwalk, I love rewarding my pooch with a nice salmon filet. Maybe they'll have some at the crab shack? C'mon, sweety! Let's get you some good eats.

California Quail have an interesting behavior before mating…the male jumps around the female while she lays on the ground and he pushes his beak into her back a number of times before doing the deed. Birds.
Behavioral Picture 1 of 2
This bird did an unsuccessful full immersion snow dive for a vole and then sat up in the snow. But it seemed to hear a vole again under the snow and emulated the human behaviour of putting one's ear to the wall despite its highly sophisticated hearing.
I liked the owl's expression here and what one can see of the expression in picture 2.
took it on the same day with "foibles", so you can see some sort of similar mood here.
that was a pretty hot day. i was sweating,so hair could be sticked easily.
Mating Behavior
Once mature, a male dragonfly or damselfly establishes a territory from which he chases other males. When on territory, he produces packets of sperm called spermatophores at the tip of his abdomen (tenth segment), reaches the tip forward and places the spermatophores in a depression on the lower surface of the second abdominal segment.
With his sperm receptacle filled, the male flies out and grasps a female's head with his clasping genitalia at the abdominal tip. Each species' male genitalia fit the head of only the female of that species. (Slaty Skimmer Clamped in Tandem.) In some dragonflies and damselflies, the shape of the male genitalia is the most constant and accurate identifier of the insect's species.
Once the male has grasped a female, they fly in tandem for some time (Swamp Spreadwing in Tandem). The male usually flies while the female rests. Rarely, the female will fly while the male rests. It is unusual for both odonates to be flying at the same time.After some time, the female reaches the tip of her abdomen below her body and grasps the male's second segment to pick up the spermatophores he placed there. During this process, called the wheel formation, the two dragonflies take on a circular or heart-shaped pose. The two may stay in the wheel formation for upwards of fifteen minutes before the female releases and returns to the tandem position.

A great blue heron was constructing a nest this morning at Loxahatchee NWR in Boynton Beach, FL. This was not the largest piece of nesting material that he brought, but the wingspan here was appealing to me.
One fogless morning these guys were periodically flying back and forth across our lagoon but they gave so little warning it was incredibly tough to get a decent shot

There were two Spotted Towhee males in my backyard foraging. One kept hopping on the other and flailing its wings almost in a sexual/dominant manner. I wish I'd had my camera ready at that time. Then this male flew closer to me and just sat there motionless as the other one continued to forage. This Towhee stayed motionless for almost 5 minutes until the other male flew away. Then this one eventually followed.
Some young bulls are checking out a cow that is beginning to release the smell of estrus. They are curious and fired up, but won't breed this season. When the cows become receptive, the mature bulls will chase away these youngsters. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
This early arriving Hummer is one of several males that are fighting over the nectar feeder just below. They now compete with breath-taking high-speed aerial sky dives to impress the feeding females and get their attention (for breeding). This flight action is both visually and audibly impressive! It's still very early morning, and the sunlight is heavily filtered by the tall forest growth to the east. The gorgets will not display full red iridescence until it gets a little brighter. In this shot you get only a hint of the vibrant wine-red color to come with later more intense sunlight! This dazzling display is then based more on iridescence than pigment colors.

have you ever checked out soni avileva's work? deviant behavior is a funky shop where you can try on demos live on the spot without unboxing. what a unique experience! i haven't seen this anywhere else. i happened to find his work on flickr by accident and was totally curious.
when you arrive, you're greeted by some really lovely helpful ladies and the layout of the shop is by body type. the textures are really good and everything seems to be sold in fatpacks at a very reasonable price. i wanted to buy everything but ended up walking away with this body suit and two other dresses. one you can see here.
be sure to check out upstairs, where the deviant ladies hang out. however, don't accidentally get too close... some of them bite ;)
p.s. if you have time to flick through soni's flickr his parties looks epic XD i want to go to the next one lol!
Although Anhingas fish by "swimming" underwater and spearing their fish with their dagger-like bills, the evolutionary process hasn't progressed to where their feathers have oily waterproofing... they often need to spread their wings like this for drying. Usually the birds are positioned far offshore when you view this position, but in this heavily visited park, this bird was next to a main walking path. The local fauna here pretty much ignore the presence of people and exhibit natural behavior.

This black guillemot (Cepphus grylle) was engaged in a three-way fluting conversation. It is sitting in front of its cave and looking upwards to another fluter sitting on the ledge about 2m above this cave.

I believe the backstory is that the very small gull had just gotten chased by a larger gull and it happened to land in proximity with the tern. Apparently both took offense with the other's presence. The tern was one of a mass of about 600, most of which had appeared along this shore the day before. The Franklin's Gull is a rare bird locally, had been present since August 25, and was not seen after the day of this photo, August 31.
The gray jay, often called the whiskey jack, is a fluffy gray bird native to Interior Alaska. Known for its friendly nature, it eagerly approaches humans for food scraps like bread and cheese. This behavior has led to various nicknames, including Canada Jay and Camp Robber. The term "whiskeyjack" comes from the aboriginal name "wisakadjak," a mischievous figure in Algonquin mythology. Gray jays are skilled at caching food in bark, lichens, or crevices to prepare for winter. They nest year-round, starting construction in late February, laying eggs in March, and having fledglings ready to fly by May. Their resourcefulness and adaptability make them a fascinating part of the Alaskan wilderness.

The bird at left had been tending four chicks as I heard but could not see the bird (calling excitedly) at right approaching, both swimming toward each other. This connection happened quickly and I did not see a fish exchanged. In a brief search I could not find this behavior explained, but I believe it is a pair-bonding greeting. Seconds later the chicks swam up to join these adults.
Lady, i will touch you with my mind.

This buck is standing in early morning light and rubbing his hocks together. This stimulates the tarsus glands located there and causes them to flow a secretion down his leg. He marks a scrape by urinating down his legs, mixing the urine and tarsus secretion. Then he works this into the ground to leave his scent. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Hi folks, I'm sorry if I'm boring you but just a couple more and it will be over. In thin image it reminded me of a dance, but what he was doing was getting her into position for the ultimate act of love. It was a series I've never witnessed before and hope you understand what I'm trying to portray. Have a great day and as always thank you fror the visits.
