Got it! No need to give me that stern look. This is YOUR domain and I'm just passing through. I understand–er, MISTER Raptor of Old Man River. I know you spotted me a mile away. I'm not going to disturb that breakfast duck you spotted or the big catfish making a splash. I'm just a fly on a wall. My camera doesn't even click anymore. It's silent. I'm not going to disrupt you.
Note: I am near the southwest Kentucky / northwest Tennessee border visiting certain spots in and around Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge. Frankly, I'm not certain what side of the border this spot is in.
I worked with this picture from October 16th I had originally decided was not a keeper. After some work, it became somewhat more "a keeper."
Well, I should rather work on my Alien vs. Predator presentation for university. But the subject was just to inspiring not to build something related to it. I chose the Predator.
Originally it was planed to build him with his creepy face but I couldn't find a proper way to build it in this scale. So he comes with helmet. The fitting amor gave me the chance to use some Hero Factory parts in pearl silver I had laying around.
Furthermore I tried something new with the background.
I hope you like it.

Not exactly a Mona Lisa smile, but her eyes !! Enigmatic and meditative. But that's enough anthropomorphism...
Owls in general have poor eyesight. This lady has yellow irises, which means she is diurnal. Nocturnal subspecies have red irises.
The structure of the rostrum starts in the skull and is asymmetric. The concentrical soft feathers capture the soundwaves and lead them to the orifices of the ear canal. The ruffle of tiny mouses between autumnal grasses is enough to locate them with pinpoint precision. The same fine feather structure on the upper side of the relatively broad wings guarantees a stealthy flight.

When you go fishing, you know that a lot of preparation, skill and time is spent in obtaining your fresh catch. Right? Well, it's no different for the brown bears ... but they also possess an incredible amount of patience to go with it. Especially if you're this particular bear.
See, this bear was cruising the creek for salmon. When he (let's assume that it was a he ... not sure) saw us, he decided after a brief time to park himself along the bank of the creek, but staying in the water. I was excited because that usually means that it's time for some quick action, lunging shots of the salmon pursuit ... you know, bear claws, intensity in the face of the predator, and lots of splash. I set up my gear and tried to exercise some patience. Well, bears win on the patience front, that's for sure. This guy just sat there for what seemed to be an hour (OK, maybe it was 15-20 minutes) and stared at us, while he intermittently stared down a few salmon as well. At his personal "dinner table", the brightly colored salmon swam by him in numbers. He waited for just the right one ... the nice big fat one full of roe. You guessed it too, I missed the lunge shot! Oh well. LOL. There will be lots more lunges, as this bear continues to "fatten up" for the winter.
This is how I feel while waiting for the year end holidays. Anxious for them to get here, carefully choosing my activities, and getting ready to plan for the future.

It was amazing to watch this Merlin pursuing a Goldfinch a couple of weeks ago: I was rather lucky to capture this shot as the raptor dived in for a killer blow, but missed the lucky finch by a gnat's whisker!
Yellowfin tuna flank a female great white shark off the coast of Mexico's Isla de Guadalupe. While the tuna are a preferred prey item of the shark, their speed and maneuverability allow them to keep a safe distance from their predator. The sharks have to rely on stealth in order to ambush attach the speedy prey.
While it's not uncommon to see yellowfin tuna at Guadalupe, they seem far more abundant around the island in the past couple of years. I'm not sure it's a result of El Nino effects or not, but I definitely saw noticeably more tuna around the sharks than usual on this trip.
Giraffes are best known for their long necks and the striking coat patterns of irregular brown patches on a lighter background. Each giraffe has a pattern that is unique to that individual, like a human fingerprint. This may help hide them from predators, particularly when they are young, since the bloches tend to break up their outline when they are among trees. Giraffes are divided into several subspecies depending on their geographic location, color and coat pattern.
In this case, it's a bit difficult not to feel sorry for the prey. Paralyzed and then liquefied doesn't seem like a pleasant end to life.

Peek-a-booing one morning... Bird was under healthy green foliage (in the foreground) I saw bird landing in the woods but it took me a while to figure out the exact location of the bird. I am sure she was watching the whole time thru the small opening :)
The branch upon which the eagle is perched is thick and sturdy, and is covered in a layer of moss and small plants. This suggests that the eagle has been perched in this spot for some time, and is likely well acquainted with its surroundings. The forest in the background is dense and rich with trees, creating a natural canopy that provides ample cover for the eagle's hunting ground. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful, with the occasional chirping of birds and rustling of leaves.
Mongoose : formidable predator which originates from North Africa and found in Spain . Mongoose were thought to have been introduced to Spain by the Arabs during their occupation from 8th to 14th century, however Mongoose bones have been carbon dated to the 1st century A.D. and it's entirely possible they always were in Spain when it was adjoined to N. Africa before the land masses separated
