Giraffes are the tallest mammals on Earth. Their legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet. They can run as fast as 35 miles an hour over short distances, or cruise at 10 mph over longer distances. A giraffe's neck is too short to reach the ground. As a result, it has to awkwardly spread its front legs or kneel to reach the ground for a drink of water. Giraffes spend most of their lives standing up; they even sleep and give birth standing up.

The pied bush chat is a small passerine bird found ranging from West Asia and Central Asia to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. About sixteen subspecies are recognized through its wide range with many island forms.

Scientific name: Saxicola caprata

Mass: 15 g

Conservation status: Least Concern (Population stable)

Higher classification: Saxicola

Phylum: Chordata

Order: Passerine

Upon the dawn, so soft and bright,

A sunbird flits in golden light.

With feathers kissed by morning's hue,

In crimson, green, and sapphire blue.

It hovers light from bloom to bloom,

A whisper sweet, a soft perfume.

Its tiny heart beats fast and free,

A dancer in the sky's decree.

The nectar calls, so rich, so sweet,

With wings aglow, it finds its treat.

A guardian of the blossoms fair,

It spreads the seeds with tender care.

Oh, sunbird small, with colors bold,

A living gem, a tale retold.

In nature's song, you play your part,

A fleeting joy, a work of art.

The Greyish Saltator (Saltator coerulescens) is a seed-eating songbird that is widespread in the tropical Americas. Traditionally placed in the cardinal family (Cardinalidae), the saltators actually seem to be closer to the tanagers (Thraupidae). In El Salvador, it is well known as dichosofui after the "elaborate" version of its call, which sounds like a drawn-out ¡dichoso fui!, Spanish for "I was happy!" Source: Wikipedia

the BIG BIRD is a Fan-Tail Cuckoo CHICK being fed by Brown Thornbill.

- As with most other species of Australian cuckoos, the Fan-tailed Cuckoo is a brood parasite; laying its eggs in the nests of other species of birds. Host species include flycatchers, fairy-wrens, scrubwrens and thornbills, particularly the Brown Thornbill, Acanthiza pusilla. A single egg is laid in the nest and one of the host's eggs is removed. The young cuckoo generally hatches earlier than the host's eggs and proceeds to eject the other eggs or hatchlings. The seemingly unaware foster parents then rear the cuckoo chick.

Another from the Utah archives. These birds are fast! It takes many chances and a decent amount of time devoted to Kestrels in order to make one or two good images.
