The Great Horned Owl is Alberta's provincial bird. I saw this month old youngster at the “Alberta Birds of Prey Centre ” in Lethbridge.
Apparently, the parents abandoned this baby after their nesting area was disturbed by a construction project. This is one of the most usual reasons for orphan birds being brought to the centre.
Normally the chicks gain the strength and are ready to fly by the age of two months. This one will probably not be destined for return to the wild because of its young age when brought to the centre.

A Hooded Merganser catches this poor frog and makes a quick meal of it. The frogs are in brumation, like hibernation, in the cold water of winter and therefore easy targets if the ducks find them.

GATX SD40-2 900 was parked in Union Pacific's Proviso yard in 2001. Built for the Missouri Pacific, the old EMD wound up in the lease pool after Union Pacific was finished with it.
That's what he would like you to think but don't believe it for a moment. He has spent about 5 minutes in his cage for the entire 10 days of his boarding experience (his family takes him home tomorrow). Yesterday, he finally got his one suture removed and even better, got rid of his cone. Until he ripped ripped open the suture site 2 minutes later. so, although the abscess site is nearly healed, and will continue to heal without replacing the suture, the vet decided to put the cone back on Moustache in an attempt to slow him down a bit. The bite was right behind his "armpit" where the skin stretches every time this crazy kitten jumps, climbs, sprints, belly crawls, pounces... In reality, the cone doesn't slow him down at all - it just makes him more clumsy.
We are all going to miss Moustache when he goes home but we also feel quite confident we'll be seeing him again. There's no way that this outgoing, adventurous, clumsy, playful kitten isn't going to pick another fight with the wrong cat, like, for instance, the big black cat who lives next door, fall off a banister, land wrong when jumping down from a tree, scratch his eye, rip out a claw, eat something that makes him sick or gets stuck in his GI system... the list goes on and on.

War is stressful and tiring, now you can show it. New head coming in just a couple weeks or less, guaranteed!
Poor Ray had an abscess on his right ear, so a visit to the vet today was required. He had an antibiotic shot and has to wear the collar for two or three days to let it heal. We'll see how well that goes! I think it may have been Pixie as she is super protective of her kittens and even though the other cats haven't gone anywhere near them, she just keeps chasing and attacking them every time she sees them move..
found her pregnant ... and desperate, kept her one day ... when I saw her bleeding. it was a miscarriage and bad infection everything was surgically removed :( . now she seems to be stable .. though she get tonight a special "hat" as a present :) .. she definitely does not like it .
This poor cow was not with her mates. They were across the road. It seemed terrible to separate this one from the others. She bellered non-stop for half and hour and finally knocked out the top rung of the fence, hurried across the street, sneaked past an electric fence and back to her friends. They grazed together. Woolman's School, Nevada Co, California on 5 February 2017.

Often there was a perpetual haze around Wisconsin Rapids with a lot of smoke in the sky from the nearby paper mills that provided a lot of business to GB&W, CNW, SOO and the MILW. It was a neat place to visit because the rail action had plenty of variety and there seldom wasn't something happening. CNW 711 has finished the daily chores aroud the area and has tied up at the joint CNW/SOO yard. June 19, 1981.
I quite like taking pictures of birds with colour abnormalities, they are unique.
But occasionally you see unwell animals and it is quite sad, as soon as this chaffinch landed it was clear there was something wrong, its walk was unusual and its feet were not right at all.
I did a bit of research and this looks like Viral Wart infection (viral papillomas) that affects Chaffinches apparently around 1% of the population are affected although not as badly as this poor bird.
This bird seemed to fly and eat and apart from the feet looks quite healthy so it seems to be quite well.

6 days of >104F fever... today we spent 8 hours in the hospital... none of the tests could even conclude if the illness is bacterial or viral... at least the iv fluids seemed to help enough that we didn't have to stay the night... and her fever is down... she was so sad... she said she felt like a pincushion... she spoke in such a weak whisper... breaks our hearts... & katie was so brave... a stiff upper lip and katie held still while they put in the iv... i am so sad and proud and hopeful that she will get well soon...

Poor Charlie, our neighbour's dog (or one of them), has had to have some treatment on his eyes. Nothing serious, thankfully.
But until the treatment is finished he's wearing a 'bucket.' On top of that, Barbara has had to take Buster to her Mum's as he keeps licking the cream off Charlie.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Ol’ Luther posed so nicely for me some time ago and never received his moment in the limelight as the photos never got posted. This lumpy lizard did stand up nice and tall for the photo shoot and I just passed over the photo. I guess that I have better give Luther the day in the sun that he deserves. This particular alligator is roughly 9-feet in length and is very well fed. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.
I don’t have any of them named but I should recognize them considering how often I see them.
