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.

DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES; THANK YOU FOR VIEWING, FAVING AND COMMENTING MY DIGITAL OBSERVATIONS.
While watching these least chipmunks play around on the rocks, I got to see some cool behavior. Suddenly, they all became very attentive and grouped up on this rock. One was calling out with a little chirping call, while they all looked down from above. We were around 10,000 feet in elevation and the only predators that are supposed to exist up there, to my knowledge, are lynx, western garter snakes, and birds of prey. They were looking almost directly down, and I could see that there were no lynx or birds of prey around so the only thing I can think is that there must've been a garter snake around.

So today I received Richard's Predator. And I must honestly say that this is one of the best, if not the best Predator sculpt I've ever seen. I decided to show him off in this picture without the mask because the sculpted head is absolutely stunning.
I thought it'd be nice to display my own Predator from a while ago next to his, alongside Richard's line of figures from the Alien Franchise (Namely, the Alien and Facehugger).
If you haven't picked one up yet, do so now before he runs out, it's absolutely worth the money both as a collectible and as a challenge to paint.
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.

Yesterday we had wild weather in Ocean Shores. We were treated with three bald eagles while we were beachcomber afterwards. This one was snacking on a seagull.
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.

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.

The Lispe is a genus of true flies, belonging to the family Muscidae. The adult are predators of small insects. Larvae are also predators, living in damp sand and mud.
Many thanks to John Carr and Nikita Vikhrev from diptera-info for the ID.
As you can tell by the blood on this Coopers Hawks talons and beak, this true predator, and swift hunter, quickly eats his prey, (a Pidgeon), I know because I watched the whole thing, and then vanishes in plain flight.
