We thinks that this young bird was given the skink by the parent. It took it a good 10 minutes to prepare it to eat. It flew from tree to tree to ground and back again, each time giving it another bash around.

The male Kestrel arrived on the ledge to the nest (chick heads bottom left corner) with a prey item and was quickly accosted by the female and short tug of war ensued before the male released and allowed the female to take it to the chicks to feed.
While excavating a cordyceps I disturbed this centipede mother. Over several minutes, she excavated a new chamber and slowly moved her young to the new site in batches.

These mallards had got several recently fledged chicks on a local pond, the chicks were in the open for a few seconds and moved undercover in the reeds.
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
I've seen 3 eggs under the swans today and one cast-off lying by the water's edge.
I have a short video of the swans anybody know how to upload it?
They never hid their love for each other.
She was the magnet and he was steel.

Ooh, ooh, ah
Now I told you so you ought to know
Ooh, it takes some time for a feelin' to grow
Ooh, you're so close now I can't let you go
Ooh and I can't let go
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
I can't hope that I'll hold you for long
Ooh, you're a woman who's lost to your song
Ooh but the love that I feel is so strong
Ooh and it can't be wrong
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
Ooh, ooh, ooh
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel

This is what all the current nest building is for ... this shot was taken in June 2013 while the parents at many of the nests along the rivers in Baltimore County performed neighborhood watch.
This is one of the nests that is out over open water on one of the many channel markers. If I am lucky I may get the chance to get out on a boat again to see what the children look like this year.
Adult Bald Eagle beside the one remaining juvenile. (the other juvenile fell out of the nest on 6-1-23)
A young giraffe drinking (it's most vulnerable position) while mom and dad keep watch (There were indeed a few lions nearby).
And here something about their blood house keeping: To protect the giraffe’s brain from sudden changes in blood pressure when it lowers its head to drink, it has valves to stop the back-flow of blood and elastic-walled vessels that dilate and constrict to manage flow. NASA has done research on the blood vessels in giraffe legs to get inspiration for human space suits.
A giraffe heart weighs approx. 11kg and is the biggest of any land mammal. It is used to pump 60 litres of blood around its body every minute at a blood pressure twice that of an average human.

The parent clapper rail returns a few minutes later (see previous photo) with a freshly-caught crab for its chick.
I was well out on the Ft. Fisher jetty with DistantFocus when we looked back and noticed a clapper rail running back and forth across the jetty from one section of marsh to another. We moved in closer (using the times the rail was in the marsh to move, stopping before it emerged, then repeating until sufficiently close) and watched the rail for a good while. Eventually, a few chicks became visible and the one in the photo above came fully out of the marsh grass, wanting to have first crack at the fresh crab brought back by its parent. I was positioned on the left side of the jetty and my friend on the right (the side the chicks were on). He was able to photograph the transfer of the seafood from parent to chick:

It was a great surprise to find and be able to watch this clapper rail family. Aren't these unexpected finds a large part of what keeps us wildlife-watchers/photographers doing what we do?
