I happened upon this bullfrog with a polliwog too large to make a quick meal of it. Never did see the adult tadpole tail disappear. After an hour the frog moved on to other parts.
Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Thanks for the visit!
I spotted this juvenile Peregrine Falcon just as he was finishing up a breakfast of "freshly un-cooked" bird, courtesy of the maternal catering service.
Junior clearly had a look of deep culinary satisfaction on his face, though he was admittedly less than prepared for a formal portrait. With his feathers completely disheveled and heavily stained from his morning meal, he looked exactly like what we used to call "ridden-hard and put-away-wet."
Unfortunately, my own schedule forced me to pack up and leave before he had a chance to freshen up and look the part of the sleek, gorgeous speedster of the sky he is destined to become.
______________________________
Powerful and fast-flying, the Peregrine Falcon hunts medium-sized birds, dropping down on them from high above in a spectacular stoop. They were virtually eradicated from eastern North America by pesticide poisoning in the middle 20th century. After significant recovery efforts, Peregrine Falcons have made an incredible rebound and are now regularly seen in many large cities and coastal areas.
Peregrine Falcons are very strong fliers and often reported to be the fastest bird in the world. Their average cruising flight speed is 24 to 33 mph, increasing to 67 mph when in pursuit of prey. When stooping, or dropping on prey with their wings closed, it's been calculated that Peregrine Falcons can achieve speeds of 238 mph.
When hunting, Peregrines start by watching from a high perch or by flapping slowly or soaring at great height. Stoops begin 300–3,000 feet above their prey and end either by grabbing the prey or by striking it with the feet hard enough to stun or kill it. They then catch the bird and bite through the neck to kill it. Peregrine Falcons do have other hunting methods, including level pursuit, picking birds out of large flocks, and occasionally even hunting on the ground. Though the Peregrine Falcon is an elite predator, it does have its own predators, including Gyrfalcons, eagles, Great Horned owls, and other Peregrines.

“Nothing good comes easily. You have to lose things you thought you loved, give up things you thought you needed. You have to get over yourself, beyond your past, out from under the weight of your future. The good stuff never comes when things are easy. It comes just when you think it never will.”
― Shauna Niequist
It must be about time for the good stuff! Right?!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Don't allow the "little stuff" to get to you. Keep looking up, and the little stuff eventually loses its power over you!
It's fun to think of how these rocks were shaped, that sure is old stuff 😊
They make the coastline quite spectacular I think
I am not sure if this is yard art or Halloween stuff..But it was spooky to me..In Arkansas, on the rural roads , entrance to somewhere right off the highway..Who would not stop for this..
A photographer’s dream come true! I couldn’t believe my luck when I saw all of the cool stuff in one spot—ghost signs on an old building, a bottle tree, blue windows and doors, and then…STUFF! Whirlygigs and springs and a birdbath and rust! I’ll be back, little spot on historic C Street in Springfield, Missouri!
A popular golf club displayed a stuffed toy tiger on a window presumably to honor a famous golfer . The monkey on the roof kept a respectful distance !
