A mallard drake powering up the pond towards me as I left to go home. This was the last in-focus shot of the morning. I threw out over a hundred failed attempts at flight captures.

I reached 21 million views early today! Thank you very much to all those who have looked at my photos!

You can not only tell by its eyes when something has a Coyotes attention but also by its ears.

Concentration de volatiles sur un îlot de rocher dans la réserve à côté de chez moi !

Goélands, Cormorans, Tadornes casarca et Canards Pilets sont au rendez-vous !

A tri-colored heron looks intently into the mangrove waters for its next meal.

You can tell by the ripples in the water and the drop of water at the end of the beak that this heron had just unsuccessfully tried to spear something in the water.

… this guy is busy cleaning up a scratch from the top of his left forearm. Kept at it until satisfied, despite the horrible faces his younger ‘cousins’ were pulling on the other side of his window.

He then turned his back and walked away in a most dignified way, completely ignoring his unruly audience.

A very alert Grey Heron hunting on the river Coquet. This Heron was on the weir very close to the main road and wasn't cocerned at all by my presence.

Cleo in the garden today. It was still dry but menacing clouds were gathering again and she heard thunder in the distance. Cleo isn't afraid of thunderstorms but she is afraid of getting wet and always tries to make sure to get indoors in time. :)
