I was watching this male Downy woodpecker during a snow squall. It was determined to keep hanging onto a lilac branch, waiting to fly up to the suet feeder underneath my porch awning.

Thanks everyone for your views, awards, comments, invites and faves.

This downy woodpecker was waiting to fly up to the suet feeder during a snow squall one winter. It was grasping a lilac branch outside one of my windows. This was taken in Northeastern PA.

It's not the SIZE of the dog in the fight, but the size of the FIGHT in the dog

I rise and fall, yet through it all

This much remains

I want one moment in time

When I'm more than I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away

And the answers are all up to me

Hi There!

This chap was determined to get a place on the suet feeder which was filled with several other Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warblers. This was taken at my friend's house. She tells me that she can barely keep the suet feeder filled. I'll be heading back with the camera today or tomorrow to see what excitement is forthcoming!

These towers stand 250 to 300 feet above the desert floor. They are incredible all on their own. Even more so with a star filled sky.

The fish put up quite a fight but this osprey was not taking 'no' for an answer.

This day started beautiful but turned quickly as things can do in the desert. I had the drone up circling the towers and felt a small smack on my forehead. No it wasn't Bea, it was hail. I quickly got the drone in luckily had this shot already taken. We went back with our tails between our legs. Thanks for looking at my ridiculous attempts at professional photos!! Kris..

Osservato in pieno pomeriggio cacciare sulla superfice degli stagni di Ostellato (tarda primavera). Visto il comportamento dovrebbe essere un vespertilio di Daubenton (Myotis daubentonii) detto anche vespertilio d'acqua ma lascio la determinazione a gli esperti.

Observed in the afternoon hunting on the surface of the ponds of Ostellato (late spring). Given the behavior it should be a Daubenton's vespertilio (Myotis daubentonii) also called water vespertilio but I leave the determination to the experts.

Determination is powerful

Got this.

As I was on my way to work, a crow kept on attacking me for no apparent reason at all.

They say that if this happens, a crow’s nest is most probably near by. Well, that’s the determination to protect I saw that day even though I’m not doing anything wrong.

This piece is the first one I draw in Washington and it is based on Mr. Lorcan Keating’s photography as I obviously cannot sketch while I’m being attacked ;)

A follow-up to a previous shot

This Kestrel wasn't going to give up easily

But neither was the owl

Transferring the hapless vole to it's mouth (releasing its claws for offensive/defensive duties) the aerial dogfight continued

That look of determination on the owls face telling you all you needed to know... he wasn't going to give up his well earned lunch without a fight!

I did it!! I made a shadow with the faith of a friend. :)

I saw this little snail on my garden table heading in its own pace straight to the potted sunflower, not even hesitating when I came pretty close with my camera. That is determination!

I then moved the snail to another safe, green area.

Ich sah diese kleine Schnecke auf meinem Gartentisch, wie sie in ihrem eigenen Tempo auf die Sonnenblume Pflanze zueilte. Sie ließ sich nicht einmal durch die nahe Kamera stören. Das ist Zielstrebigkeit!

Ich habe die Schecke dann in eine sichere grüne Ecke umgesiedelt.

I got leon's flu so I will be off for a bit.

I know things could be worse.

No leaf is too high for this ladybug.

This little White-eyed Vireo certainly set the tone for our Christmas Bird Count, and was one of the less common species we sighted at the start of our seven-hour count.
