Looking eye to eye with a local pelican. The pelicans are always a fixture at the Fort Pierce Jetty. Begging and fishing for food all day long.

Wikipedia: The dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) is a species of junco, a group of small, grayish New World sparrows. This bird is common across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic. It is a very variable species, much like the related fox sparrow (Passerella iliaca), and its systematics are still not completely untangled.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Somehow I was able to keep this fast flying Peregrine Falcon in frame and using the new eye tracking firmware. My Canon is loaded and ready to fire! Peace Valley Park, New Britain PA.
Taken at Campbell Valley Park, Langley, British, Columbia, Canada.
Somehow I missed this one in the gazillions of shots I've taken over the years.
A little bit of summery solace from the archives.

Also a painting on a large concrete block, found at the Honigcomplex in my hometown Nijmegen.
For some reason there is in hole in these blocks, perhaps an easier way to transport them? But anyway, this artist (Dragon?) used it to create a third eye.
Happy Wall Wednesday ;-))
The Burrowing Owl
Couldn’t entice this little guy to come out of his burrow and pose for a portrait, so I settled for a head shot…Life is Good !!!
Burrowing Owls are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they’ve dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise. They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents. Their numbers have declined sharply with human alteration of their habitat and the decline of prairie dogs and ground squirrels.
Before laying eggs, Burrowing Owls carpet the entrances to their homes with animal dung, which attracts dung beetles and other insects that the owls then catch and eat. They may also collect bottle caps, metal foil, cigarette butts, paper scraps, and other bits of trash at the entrance, possibly signifying that the burrow is occupied.
Burrowing Owls have a higher tolerance for carbon dioxide than other birds—an adaptation found in other burrowing animals, which spend long periods underground, where the gas can accumulate to higher levels than found above ground.
Unlike most owls in which the female is larger than the male, the sexes of the Burrowing Owl are the same size.
Burrowing Owls often stow extra food to ensure an adequate supply during incubation and brooding. When food is plentiful, the birds' underground larders can reach prodigious sizes. One cache observed in Saskatchewan in 1997 contained more than 200 rodents.
The oldest known Burrowing Owl was at least 9 years, 11 months old when it was sighted in California in 2014.

This is an image from the spring I never posted because I thought I missed the moment with the mink’s one eye covered by the leaf. However, it seems perfect for this Smile on Saturday’s theme of “ one eye”. I am sure his cute little pose will put a smile on someone’s face. His pose shows off the little white patch under his chin and the webbing on his paw.
We have dark-eyed junco in Victoria pretty much all year long.... not sure where they go in the Summer but they seem to take a holiday away from our backyard... this being said.... I am not going to hide the fact that I would not mind if our junco population on the Island was split half and half... 50% Dark-eyed Junco and 50% Yellow-eyed Junco... or any other combination of the 50-50 split.

Eye to eye contact with an owl at close quarters, can it get any better?
