The two forms of black-tailed deer that occupy coastal woodlands in the Pacific Northwest of North America are subspecies of the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus). They have sometimes been treated as a species, but virtually all recent authorities maintain they are subspecies. The Columbian black-tailed deer is found in western North America, from Northern California into the Pacific Northwest of the United States and coastal British Columbia in Canada. The Sitka deer is found coastally in British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and southcentral Alaska (as far as Kodiak Island).
These two subspecies thrive on the edge of the forest, as the dark forest lacks the underbrush and grasslands the deer prefer as food, and completely open areas lack the hiding spots and cover they prefer for harsh weather. One of the plants that black-tailed deer browse is western poison oak, despite its irritant content. This deer often is most active at dawn and dusk, and is frequently involved in collisions with automobiles. (Wikipedia)
This is the Columbian sub-species. Based on maps of sightings in iNaturalist, the Sitka sub-species is not found on Vancouver Island.
There were three deer roaming the parking lot at our hotel. They then just ambled across the road to the flower beds on the other side, totally oblivious to the traffic. Thankfully, no collisions ensured.

While browsing through shots from several years ago I stumbled onto this one. I never uploaded it because I really didn't like it that much. . .But looking at it in 2020, it just seemed to fit in that crazy year. . .Maybe when I took this shot, this old jalopy was trying to tell me something. . .
Zion National Park
Springdale

USA
Just after coming into the park there is a visitor center. A trail leads off of the visitor center, and on the beginning of the trail there were three female mule deer browsing on trees. They were very close, but hidden off to the side. They seem to have become habituated to people visiting the park. In all my time in the parks I visited, I never saw a male mule deer.
The mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is a deer indigenous to western North America; it is named for its ears, which are large like those of the mule. There are believed to be several subspecies including the black-tailed deer.
Unlike the related white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer are generally more associated with the land west of the Missouri River, and more specifically with the Rocky Mountain region of North America. - Wikipedia

Willow Warbler - Phylloscopus trochilus
Taken on local walks (Kenfig area)
It is a bird of open woodlands with trees and ground cover for nesting, including most importantly birch, alder, and willow habitats. The nest is usually built in close contact with the ground, often in low vegetation. Like most Old World warblers (Sylviidae), this small passerine is insectivorous. In northern Europe, it is one of the first warblers to return in the spring though is later than the closely related chiffchaff.
It is a typical leaf warbler in appearance, 11–12.5 cm long and 7–15 g weight. It is greenish brown above and off-white to yellowish below; the wings are plain greenish-brown with no wingbars. Juveniles are yellower below than adults. It is very similar to the chiffchaff, but non-singing birds can be distinguished from that species by their paler pinkish-yellow legs (dark brown to blackish in chiffchaff), longer paler bill, more elegant shape and longer primary projection (wingtip). Its song is a simple repetitive descending whistle, while the contact call is a disyllabic 'hoo-eet', distinct from the more monosyllabic 'hweet' of chiffchaffs.
Willow warblers prefer young, open, scrubby woodland with small trees, including human-altered habitats such as coppice and young plantations up to 10–20 years old. High amounts of birch, alder and willow, with good lichen amounts, and water features (e.g. streams), fields with large amounts of bracken and mosses, and patches of low bramble (for nest cover) are preferred, but it will use a wide range of other species, including young or open coniferous forests. Incorporating woodland ride edge thickets is beneficial, as is 15 metre woodland edges of varying structure and height. They prefer damp woodland areas. Thicket forming shrubs like blackthorn provide pockets of habitat. Deer browsing can degrade the required low cover.

CRYSTALS DECORE: Simply Shelby Summer Garden Crystal Set www.flickr.com/photos/simplyshelbysl/51161832557/in/datep...
These lovely roses were taken in our garden this summer 2024.
A rose is a woody perennial of the genus Rosa, within the family Rosaceae. There are over 100 species. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing or trailing with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwest Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach 7 meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses.
The name rose comes from French, itself from Latin rosa, which was perhaps borrowed from Oscan, from Greek ρόδον rhódon (Aeolic βρόδον wródon), itself borrowed from Old Persian wrd- (wurdi), related to Avestan varəδa, Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr.
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem. Most roses are deciduous but a few (particularly from South east Asia) are evergreen or nearly so.
The flowers of most species have five petals, with the exception of Rosa sericea, which usually has only four. Each petal is divided into two distinct lobes and is usually white or pink, though in a few species yellow or red. Beneath the petals are five sepals (or in the case of some Rosa sericea, four). These may be long enough to be visible when viewed from above and appear as green points alternating with the rounded petals. There are multiple superior ovaries that develop into achenes. Roses are insect-pollinated in nature.
The aggregate fruit of the rose is a berry-like structure called a rose hip. Many of the domestic cultivars do not produce hips, as the flowers are so tightly petalled that they do not provide access for pollination. The hips of most species are red, but a few (e.g. Rosa pimpinellifolia) have dark purple to black hips. Each hip comprises an outer fleshy layer, the hypanthium, which contains 5–160 "seeds" (technically dry single-seeded fruits called achenes) embedded in a matrix of fine, but stiff, hairs. Rose hips of some species, especially the Dog Rose (Rosa canina) and Rugosa Rose (Rosa rugosa), are very rich in vitamin C, among the richest sources of any plant. The hips are eaten by fruit-eating birds such as thrushes and waxwings, which then disperse the seeds in their droppings. Some birds, particularly finches, also eat the seeds.
Rose thorns are actually prickles - outgrowths of the epidermis. While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called "thorns", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). (True thorns, as produced by e.g. Citrus or Pyracantha, are modified stems, which always originate at a node and which have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.) Rose prickles are typically sickle-shaped hooks, which aid the rose in hanging onto other vegetation when growing over it. Some species such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa pimpinellifolia have densely packed straight prickles, probably an adaptation to reduce browsing by animals, but also possibly an adaptation to trap wind-blown sand and so reduce erosion and protect their roots (both of these species grow naturally on coastal sand dunes). Despite the presence of prickles, roses are frequently browsed by deer. A few species of roses have only vestigial prickles that have no points.

I didn't realize it was world book day 02/03/23 so I hastily browsed through my Asha pictures of her in costume and picked 3 to upload to mark this occasion. I changed the background to a plain black as I didn't have the time to do anything else more creative...lol. Happy World Book day from Asha, Ashala and myself...
This photo was taken in 2010, five years ago, hard to believe.
About this album: I adore surfing old photos. Each of them tells a good story, a great experience. That's why I like photography. It records the outstanding memories and makes them unforgettable. I can recommend photography, this thankful passion to everybody.
Yearling white-tailed deer bucks are often called button bucks because they have little bumps, or buttons, on their heads. If you zoom in on this guy, you can see a slight swelling on each side of his head, situated right in front of his ears and topped with some orange hairs. Starting next spring, small antlers will start to grow out there. This hungry youngster was busy browsing on some of the tasty twigs and leaves on those nearby bushes. This woody browse is one of the favorite foods for white-tailed deer in the fall.

Wax on... Wax off...
Peafowl wander freely at the Brookfield Zoo, seemingly unconcerned with the various admirers. Such amazing colors!
I know peacock colors are kind of cliche, but I really like the lines that the peacock's head/neck make with the spectacular feathers.
So many times I see these small woodpeckers and I try to remember which is the Downy Woodpecker and which is the Hairy Woodpecker. They are so similar at first glance. So I bought a really good bird book to help me identify the birds that will be returning to our area soon. The book is beautiful to browse through and it has me excited for the new birding season. I found out that this guy is the Downy Woodpecker. I will concentrate on trying to spot the two main differences to tell them apart. This guy has a shorter beak than the Hairy. Plus, the Downy has these black spots on the white tail feathers which you can just tell on the one image.
This brings me to my next goal in photography. I just deleted about 500 images from my photo stream this week. I will get rid of more. My work has changed and it has even improved over the years I have been on Flickr so there are images I do not need to keep online anymore. There are many I can even improve with better editing techniques I have learned and then I can replace those old images with newly edited images. My bird album is one of the first albums I will reorganize, I do not want to just collect bird images. I want to try for better bird images. I admire all the wildlife photographers on Flickr. I am not as dedicated to capturing all the amazing images they take. This is a simple practice for me to get to know my camera better and to try to keep improving while learning more about the world around me. Happy Wing Wednesday!
ps. There was a branch right in front of the bird which gave it a faded patch on his body. My editing skills are not yet good enough to "fix that". lol

The springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) is a medium-sized antelope found mainly in southern and southwestern Africa. The sole member of the genus Antidorcas.
Active mainly at dawn and dusk, springbok form harems (mixed-sex herds). In earlier times, springbok of the Kalahari desert and Karoo migrated in large numbers across the countryside, a practice known as trekbokken.
A feature unique to the springbok is pronking, in which the springbok performs multiple leaps into the air, up to 2 m (6.6 ft) above the ground, in a stiff-legged posture, with the back bowed and the white flap lifted.
Primarily a browser, the springbok feeds on shrubs and succulents; this antelope can live without drinking water for years, meeting its requirements through eating succulent vegetation. Breeding takes place year-round, and peaks in the rainy season, when forage is most abundant.
Springbok inhabit the dry areas of south and southwestern Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources classifies the springbok as a least concern species. – Wikipedia

It's hard to believe that an animal as large as a moose survives on willows and birch shoots for food. In the spring of the year, they love to eat the tender new brances and small trees. They also love to feed on vegetation that grows on the bottom of ponds. I am not sure if the vegetaion is more tasty or if it is a way to eat without the constant biting of mosquitoes.
The moose do not have upper teeth in their mouth. They rely on molars, both upper and lower to chew their food.
This cow is enjoying her meal of fresh tender red shoots of a willow, It's almost easy to think she has a smile on her face.

The matriarch on the left is giving all the signs that we in our jeep are close enough to her daughter and babe. She let out a loud trumpet and stepped towards us and I shifted into reverse and headed out of there. Then appeared a whole family as they continued their peaceful browsing. That would be 50 to 200 kilos per day (at least!).
In forested areas of the bush you can see a perfect straight line that looks like a landscaper pruned the trees. It's the Kudu browse line. Amazing site. This female was demonstrating her technique!

The wild water buffalo (Bubalus arnee), also called Asian buffalo, Asiatic buffalo and wild buffalo, is a large bovine native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 3,400. A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue. 3,100 live in India, mostly in Assam. The wild water buffalo is the most likely ancestor of the domestic water buffalo.
The wild water buffalo occurs in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, and Cambodia, with an unconfirmed population in Myanmar. It is associated with wet grasslands, swamps, flood plains and densely vegetated river valleys. Tigers, mugger crocodiles and Asian black bears feed on adult wild water buffaloes.
In India, it is largely restricted to in and around Kaziranga, Manas and Dibru-Saikhowa National Parks, Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary and Bura Chapori Wildlife Sanctuary and in a few scattered pockets in Assam.
Wild water buffaloes are both diurnal and nocturnal. They are probably grazers by preference, feeding mainly on graminoids when available. They also eat other herbs, fruits, and bark, as well as browsing on trees and shrubs. They also feed on crops, including rice, sugarcane, and jute, sometimes causing considerable damage. – Wikipedia
