Nature can be harsh to witness, but everything works together for the its overall balance. This scene played out late afternoon into early evening on my first day in the Mara region. This is a female cheetah named Kweli and her three cubs. Kweli started after a gazelle, but the hunt failed. She swtiched her focus to a herd of impala and before we knew it she had dinner for the family. It was truly incredible to watch how little she could do for close to a half hour following. This period allowed her cubs to start the meal before she was able to join in later.

As we were driving along the road, next to Isenberg Crane Reserve, we spotted something out of the right side of the automobile. We pulled up next to it and about 3 feet away, on a tree stump, was a Red Shouldered hawk that was preparing to eat its dinner meal.
Have a fantastic day my friends!
Looks better in the large format. (Click L)

Every evening the same routine plays out. Papa lands on a nearby telephone pole within view of his family and eats the head of his fresh catch. Only then does he fly over and drop the mutilated fish into the nest. I've spent numerous late afternoons watching this process over and over, but never where the entire family was visible. This time, all four chicks, including the runt, picked up their heads at the perfect moment. Unfortunately, Mama, in the rear, decided to duck down.
I think this is a song thrush but I do get confused with the song thrush and the Mistle thrush so would appreciate your opinion and thanks for all your faves and comments x
This female bald eagle (2 of her juvenile offspring are sitting just below that fence) rushed in from the sky to grab this gopher.
I once read that eagle vision is so superb that if one was sitting on top of the Empire State Building, it would be able to see a dime on the sidewalk below.
This is the second time this month I've had the privilege to be near when both a Golden and a Bald eagle came in for a landing. It was an amazing experience to witness both occasions as they are so powerful and big when seen this close!

I watched these determined pigeons awaiting the departure of the diners at this table and once they did the feast began in earnest.

Trapezia Crab Spider (Sidymella trapezia)
I have been seeing a number of these Crab Spiders in the garden recently. This one had caught a fly for dinner late yesterday afternoon on one of our African Daisies.
What did I do wrong in the preparations of the dinner.....??
Hope she don´t look in any mirror..... o.o.....

Veränderliche Krabbenspinne (Misumena vatia)
Die viel größeren Weibchen können ihre Körperfarbe verändern und sich der Umgebung anpassen. Da diese Art keine Netze bauen kann, wird gewartet, bis ein Insekt in der Nähe landet. Blitzschnell packt es die Spinne mit ihren langen, stacheligen Vorderbeinen und injiziert der Beute ein schnell wirkendes Gift. Dadurch können sie sogar Insekten erbeuten, die das Mehrfache der eigenen Körpergröße haben.
Die Männchen sind wesentlich kleiner und können Ihre Farbe nicht verändern.
The much larger females can change their body color and adapt to the environment. Since this species cannot build webs, it waits until an insect lands nearby. Quickly, it grabs the spider with its long, spiny front legs and injects the prey with a fast-acting poison. This means they can even prey on insects that are several times their own size.
The males are much smaller and cannot change their color.
Les femelles, beaucoup plus grandes, peuvent changer de couleur corporelle et s'adapter à l'environnement. Comme cette espèce ne peut pas construire de toiles, elle attend qu’un insecte se pose à proximité. Rapidement, il attrape l’araignée avec ses longues pattes avant épineuses et injecte à la proie un poison à action rapide. Cela signifie qu’ils peuvent même s’attaquer à des insectes plusieurs fois plus grands que leur taille.
Les mâles sont beaucoup plus petits et ne peuvent pas changer de couleur.
