A week after I saw him on the pole feeder, I spotted my male woodpecker on the ground with the other birds, looking for fallen seeds. All the other woodpeckers in my yard stick with eating from the suet basket and looking for insects on the trees.

Sassy --- I know that all of you won't be attending Thursday's event, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from this. I gathered you guys here for a short lesson on how to deal with the press.
[...Sassy goes on about the do's and don'ts for press, red carpet etiquette, and so on...]
Okay, I think you all got it. I just have one more thing to let you in on before you go. If you can only take away one thing from today, it's this; the #1 rule in any press situation... always leave them wanting more.
Not exactly sure what this bison was doing; this behavior is something we normally see in the early fall when they are courting.....maybe he has his seasons mixed up or maybe he is expressing how I feel on a Monday morning (LOL!!!).
Happy Monday everyone....out of town, so will catch up with everyone soon. Have a good one, and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments :-)

My two cents to the B.M. (The Big Mess).
Yahoo´s behavior on important issues such as the free speech debate in China and what´s happening here in Flickr right now are very sad stories.
I´m not sure if Yahoo and Flickr are really blocking content due to local legal restrictions (nude content is not forbidden in Germany, for instance) or if they are just taking [bad] management decisions.
Filtering mature content is a parenthood and family issue. The existing filters are already useful for this kind of situation.
Blocking content is not a serious solution. Which is the next country?

Flickr sperrt uns aus! Und auch dich!
Seit gestern werden für deutsche Nutzer keine Bilder mehr angezeigt, die als 'moderate' oder 'restricted' markiert sind! Es gibt keine Moeglichkeit das umzustellen - das ist eine grobe Unverschämtheit und Frechheit von flickr!
We are the users - don't forget that flickr!
Deswegen treten wir gemeinsam in Aktion und zeigen allen, das uns das nicht gefällt was flickr mit uns macht! Füge das Bild zu deinen Favoriten hinzu und poste es!
In English:
If your Yahoo! ID is based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea, you will only be able to view safe content based on your local Terms of Service, and therefore won’t be able to turn off SafeSearch.
In other words, german users can't access photos on flickr that are not flaged "safe" ... only flowers and landscapes for the germans ...
We won't let this happen! Copy and upload this picture to your account - show flickr who we are.
Espanol:
No sé cuando, pero muy recientemente a las cuentas de Alemania, Hong Kong, Corea y Singapur les han prohibido ver las fotos que están en el Safe Search, las mismas en las que a nosotros nos dan la opcíón de ver o no ver. A ellos simplemente se lo prohiben. Chale no?
Francais:
Si votre compte Yahoo! est basé à Singapour, à Hong Kong, en Corée ou en Allemagne, vous ne pourrez voir que les photos qui n'ont pas été marquées comme ayant un contenu qui peut choquer. Toutes les autres ne vous seront pas accessibles. Vous serez donc condamnés à ne voir que des paysages et des fleurs. Il ne faut pas laisser faire ça. Envoyez cette photo sur votre compte pour montrer à Flickr que nous savons nous mobiliser contre la censure !

This striking raptor is found in the US only along our border with Mexico. It is regular year round in this AZ region. They normally hunt as family groups led by an adult female, and are the only raptors known to do this. (In this respect they are compared to African Lion prides.) The free-flight show here at the museum attempts to demonstrate this behavior by simultaneously releasing multiple birds during the show... here there was a total of four of these birds flying over the assembled audience, and they several times grouped on the same perch area... quite a viewing experience!.
IMG_6177; Harris's Hawks
Though a year 'round bird here, we haven't seen nearly as many or nealy as enough as in past years. But now that the rain has returned and the grasslands with that, they are back in force, flashing their iridescent blue-green above and bright white below. They, like so many swallows, forage on the wing for insects, making a .... cheery call while doing so. It's almost a gurgling that is another sign that spring is full here, breeding is in full season, and it's a busy, busy time for these marvelous acrobats.
Though I have many Tree Swallows, I'm not entirely happy: when they do land, they like barbed-wire, the top of pipes and gate posts, and why not? They are a symbol of the western grasslands as much as barbed-wire and gate posts. They will wing in, land of barbed wire 20 feet away, and make composition difficult. But who am I to complain. For years, I was happy just to get one to sit still, with just a hint of a breeze ruffling their breast feathers.
They're a favorite bird because they use Western Bluebird Boxes for breeding and often help the bluebirds bring up the bluebird brood! Evidently, housing is scarce, the base of the prairie a little dangerous, so so why not help with the feeding a care of young Western Bluebirds. The faster the bluebirds vacate, the fasvetr the tree swallows can get down to house cleaning (literally), rearrange the "furniture" so to speak, and get on with the just of raising their own usually 3-5 tree swallow chicks. In this way, the symbiotic relationship helps both species and keeps the boxes clean and pest free. Pests include other bird species, and who am I to care about the tenants of the nest boxes? Sometimes you just have to look beyond the obvious: if only humans would leave well enough alone.
P.S. I wish I could post shots of Oregon Juncos and House Sparrows exhibiting the same behavior in our flower pots. It happens opten enough, but the greatest part is when the Junco, recognizing that the Brown-headed Cowbird egg is too large to be one of its own, kicks the little parasite out of the nest. The cowbird may be a fairly pretty bird, but I do not like avian parasites at all. Mother Narture can be peculiar, and make like difficult if not deadly for the "parent bird." If you happen upon such a situation, you may well have to let the plant die or water with EXTREME care. I don't know of another way of saving bth bird and plant.
Mais um recém chegado e deslumbrante pasta o Desafio Ostentassaum Novidadeira.
Foram duas camadas e finalizei com tc da Impala, ele é super pigmentado e ao contrário dos outros esmaltes da marca que eu tenho, a consistência dele está perfeita e facilitou muito a esmaltar.
Ele tem um tom de rosa muito bonito, ao vivo é mais azulado e tem um tom muito perfeito.
Haha..I am kidding. This super starling is super friendly and did not my presence at all. It just probably yawned..
When we arrived at the Albany mudflats the tide had been pretty high but was going down...we decided to sit on a log and wait it out hoping the birds would show up, it didn't take long! Avocets started coming in and we witnessed a very 'curious behavior'...they would fly across the water skimming, dipping and even diving full bodied into it. The water hadn't exposed the mud yet but as they emerged they had streaks of mud on their chests! Something I had never seen before and very entertaining!
The last image you can see the mud on it's chest as it's walking out!
I've often seen roadrunners face away from the sun and spread their wings to warm their body core. But, it was 82 degrees this morning. Watched this bird for awhile and after a few minutes, he ran into the shade and immediately began gular flutter to cool down. Curious behavior.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Wild Dog or African Painted Dog (Lycaon pictus) near side asserting his dominance. This is Wild Dog speak, a trait of their behavior. Image taken in Tarangire National Park of Tanzania.
In talking to the elephant biologist at Tarangire, he relayed that he had been in the park for 20 years and although there were reports of wild dogs occasionally, he had never personally seen them. This is how lucky we were to be able to see, let alone photograph, this elusive endangered species.

Adult male golden-collared manakins (Manacus vitellinus) show off their bright-yellow throat and beard to attract the attention of females. They strut their stuff in groups called leks in a defined display area on the forest floor, which they carefully clean by removing dead leaves and foliage that obstruct the female's view.
During the courtship display, males perform complex acrobatic moves, leaping from one sapling to another, while making conspicuous "snapping" sounds by forcefully beating their wings together above their heads. (phys.org/news/2017-09-cleanliness-sexiness-golden-collare...)
I took this picture while on a photo tour led by Jeff Munoz of Rainforest Photo Tours (rainforestphototours.com).
I watched these two goatfish stay close together with the larger one staying in a vertical position and both alternating between remaining stationary and swimming frantically.
The day I saw the familiar behavior from you
I was very shocked, I didn't know there's someone not only me
Actually before you made this act, I didn't notice it yet
But that day, I looked longer time
My eyes lingered and wondered
Full of surprises that I realise it
There's a problem of your ^MiMi^

As you all know, I just love doing these guys. Here he was minding his own business preening and such and along came a Coot which got a little to close, and this was the display of the Heron to warn him off, and the Coot mad a hasty retreat. Have a great day everyone and thank you for visiting, always appreciated.
This Spotted Sandpiper did something previously unseen,. As I approached it -- stealthily (I like to think), it moved away from me, as they do. Quick walk. In the normal Sandpiper posture.
Then, for whatever reason, it stopped, and reared up. Think 'standing on its tiptoes'. Vertical posture...VERY unusual. Stood like this for seconds, like it was sampling its surroundings...but it never looked back in my direction. Then it dropped down to normal stance...and flew off.
Not a great photo -- but in this case behavior trumps quality. I processed this photo three times, in three very different ways...couldn't find any pleasing composition. Lacking that, I'm just showing the bird standing upright, like a biped.

A una in Paradiso
Eri per me quel tutto, amore,
per cui si struggeva la mia anima -
una verde isola nel mare, amore,
una fonte limpida, un'ara
di magici frutti e fiori adornata:
e tutti erano miei quei fiori.
Ah, sogno splendido e breve!
Stellata speranza, appena apparsa
e subito sopraffatta!
Una voce del Futuro mi grida
"Avanti, avanti!" - ma è sul Passato
(oscuro gugite!) che la mia anima aleggia
tacita, immobile, sgomenta!
Perchè mai più, oh, mai più per me
risplenderà quella luce di Vita!
Mai più - mai più - mai più -
(è quel che il mare ripete
alle sabbie del lido) - mai più
rifiorirà un albero percosso dal fulmine,
nè potrà più elevarsi un'aquila ferita.
Vivo, trasognato, giorni estatici,
e tutte le mie notturne visioni
mi riportano ai tuoi grigi occhi di luce,
a là dove tu stessa ti porti e risplendi,
oh, in quali eteree danze,
lungo rivi che scorrono perenni.
Edgar Allan Poe
"So we'll piss off the neighbours
In the place that feels the tears
The place to lose your fears
Yeah, reckless behavior
A place that is so pure, so dirty and raw..." - Zayn

☕ Tigers live solitary lives, except during mating season and when females have tiger cubs. Tigers are fiercely territorial and have and mark their large home ranges.🐱
This video shows a typical behavior of dogs. The exact movement of the tongue is hardly visible to the human eye. To make this process as visible as possible, the footage was slowed sixfold. For videos with only 30fps that is actually quite exaggerated. Therefore, here also unloved ghost images are to be seen, which I regard as still acceptable in the interest of the movement sequence.
Diese Video zeigt ein typisches Verhalten von Hunden. Der genaue Bewegungsablauf der Zunge ist für das menschliche Auge real kaum zu verfolgen. Um diesen Ablauf möglichst gut sichtbar zu machen, wurde das Filmmaterial sechsfach verlangsamt. Für Videos mit nur 30fps ist das eigentlich reichlich übertrieben. Daher sind hier auch bereits ungeliebte Geisterbilder zu sehen, die ich jedoch im Interesse des Bewegungsablaufs als noch akzeptabel betrachte.
Thanks very much for your interest, fav or time to comment !!
I have found great solace in hunting and photographing birds. I become obsessed with the birds that are very difficult to capture, nervous songbirds like these beautiful tree swallows.
We were making our way to Elk Island Park along the backroad to Josefburg when I noticed several tree swallows sitting on power lines. Whoever owned the property had erected small birdhouses on the fenceposts.
We pulled over and I hopped out. The day was beautiful, with pretty light, and I had plenty of time. So I took a few test shots, and set my camera controls.
I joyfully photographed the birds as they flitted about. I got some pretty good shots, but nothing outstanding. However, with nature...there can be a surprise in store...and there was.
I saw one of the tree swallows land atop a fencepost. It was a little closer to me, so I decided to make it my subject...and I am so glad I did. For within a few seconds, I captured this remarkable behavior.
I had no idea what I was watching; I only knew that it was amazing. Thank God for burst mode...I had my exposure in good shape, so I just let the frames slide by.
I was stunned after returning to the car, and reviewing my images.
Later, I did some research to find out what the heck the birds were up to. I discovered that this is part of the tree swallows mating rituals. How odd...screaming at each other. Yep, that would do it for me. LOL
I am turning all these images live, something I don't normally do...but I am so proud of them.
Please enjoy, but don't feel the need to comment on all of them. Really, it's okay.
I have my reward. Thanks, God.
Blessings,
Sheree
Some photos are intended as high art. Some are meant to show incredible photographic skill and razor sharp image.
This is neither. This photo is bird behavior documentation, grabbed spontaneously as the behavior occurred. This little hummingbird visited the nectar feeder, then flitted to the grape jelly...probably out of curiosity. Hovered around the jelly long enough for me to grab the camera, then actually moved in and started eating (drinking?) some jelly.
Must have liked it, for there have been several more jelly visits, and apparently the word was passed on, for at least once two little Ruby Throats have been there together.
The February challenge was to find 10 shots at one place. Check out our shots here : www.flickr.com/groups/ajac/pool/
