Great White Egret - Ardea Alba
The great egret is generally a very successful species with a large and expanding range, occurring worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. It is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. In North America, large numbers of great egrets were killed around the end of the 19th century so that their plumes could be used to decorate hats. Numbers have since recovered as a result of conservation measures. Its range has expanded as far north as southern Canada. However, in some parts of the southern United States, its numbers have declined due to habitat loss, particularly wetland degradation through drainage, grazing, clearing, burning, increased salinity, groundwater extraction and invasion by exotic plants. Nevertheless, the species adapts well to human habitation and can be readily seen near wetlands and bodies of water in urban and suburban areas.
The great egret is partially migratory, with northern hemisphere birds moving south from areas with colder winters. It is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
In 1953, the great egret in flight was chosen as the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which was formed in part to prevent the killing of birds for their feathers.
On 22 May 2012, a pair of great egrets was announced to be nesting in the UK for the first time at the Shapwick Heath nature reserve in Somerset. The species is a rare visitor to the UK and Ben Aviss of the BBC stated that the news could mean the UK's first great egret colony is established. The following week, Kevin Anderson of Natural England confirmed a great egret chick had hatched, making it a new breeding bird record for the UK. In 2017, seven nests in Somerset fledged 17 young, and a second breeding site was announced at Holkham National Nature Reserve in Norfolk where a pair fledged three young.
In 2018, a pair of great egrets nested in Finland for the first time, raising four young in a grey heron colony in Porvoo.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
And he was successful. Seconds later, he caught a Zitting Cisticola for a meal. This is a migratory raptor from Central Asia that come in large numbers during winters to India. They can be commonly seen across the countryside and mostly in grasslands where they roost communally.
We sighted one on this fence preening and he spent around 5 minutes cleaning himself up. Then suddenly he dived flew behind the vehicle and landed in a far away field. He had a Zitting Cisticola, a small warbler in his claws which he finished pretty quickly.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.

This Bad Boy is the Villain of my feeder. He seems to know exactly when I put out bird food of the type he likes. Within minutes, he’s marauding around the feeder throwing food-bits left and right until he discovers the treat he is looking for : )
American Crows are large, intelligent, all-black birds with hoarse, cawing voices. They are common sights in treetops, fields, and roadsides, and in habitats ranging from open woods and empty beaches to town centers. They usually feed on the ground and eat almost anything – typically earthworms, insects and other small animals, seeds, and fruit but also garbage, carrion, and chicks they rob from nests.
American Crows congregate in large numbers in winter to sleep in communal roosts. These roosts can be of a few hundred up to two million crows. Some roosts have been forming in the same general area for well over 100 years. In the last few decades some of these roosts have moved into urban areas where the noise and mess cause conflicts with people.
Young American Crows do not breed until they are at least two years old, and most do not breed until they are four or more. In most populations the young help their parents raise young for a few years. Families may include up to 15 individuals and contain young from five different years.
Crows sometimes make and use tools. Examples include a captive crow using a cup to carry water over to a bowl of dry mash; shaping a piece of wood and then sticking it into a hole in a fence post in search of food; and breaking off pieces of pine cone to drop on tree climbers near a nest.
The oldest recorded wild American Crow was at least 16 years 4 months old when it was recaptured and rereleased during a banding operation in New York. A captive crow in New York lived to be 59 years old.

The evening light was hitting this mountain very nice and the clouds behind created a beautiful atmosphere on my first day in Damüls. I'd call it a successful photography walk.

PARENTS: You need money? NO. Here is money. You need a car? NO. We got you a car. You need a house? NO. Here are the keys. You want to be as successful as them? No. You have to SUCCEED. What do I need? Nobody cares.
Life is full of pressure. The pressure has crashed my life.
the less successful the pictures turn out to be :-)

To be as successful as Johnathan Jefferson LaVeaux means to first have your true priorities straight. The priorities that all good citizens should use as their only guide post. THE HOLY TRINITY of PRIORITIES! Say it with me Kids!!! ONE...WORK, your J-O-B. TWO...YOUR CHURCH. And THREE...YOUR FAMILY. That's right. And the world's favorite man about the Planet is a shining example, a real man who holds these priorities faithfully. For that he has earned his success and he deserves our undying respect and admiration.
No man seems to work at his job more. Johnny's involvement with his Church has been the driving factor in taking them from a small local group to a HUGE International Movement...and all you have to do is look at the prosperity, the life style and the smiling faces of every member of Johnny's Family and extended Family to know how loving and attentive of a patriarch the man truly is. Yet somehow after all the time he gives, once in a great while he gets some Johnny time to do something for himself....
A successful hunt for the Pied Kingfisher - - but the fish is almost as big as him - - he carried this around from one side of the pond to the other; trying to hammer it on a number of different shaped rocks in the hopes of killing it - in hindsight video would have been really good for this but its never where my mind is
Having successfully kept Rebel Rooster under his protective care, Jasper stood tall and proud. It was a rousing chase around the family room.
I use the term "under protective care" loosely. On Rebel Rooster's first day with Jasper, he lost an eyeball to Jasper's teeth. But luckily, in between being a fighter jet pilot and being a nuclear physicist, I spent some time as an eye surgeon so I was able to reattach Rebel's eyeball and he's fully stereoscopic again.
Successful Fishing

Hi Everyone!
A successful fishing trip and a little bit of jealousy! It turned out that the Pelicans on the left tried to grab the fish. During the scuffle, the fish was dropped into the water and immediately snatched up by a totally different pelican!

I appreciate you taking the time to view and comment on this image, THANK YOU! Have a wonderful day today!

after so many dull, grey, rainy and cold days, we finally get some sunny, cold days. Perfect weather for the peregrine falcon to hunt. In this case a feral pigeon, the main food source for peregrines at this site at the river Rhine in Cologne. I wonder if I can ever witness a peregrine's parakeet-hunt.
وش حيلة اللي صابته رمية الهديف
خويك صويب طايح تنزف طعونه
مما جرى لها يطلب النجد والتسعيف
عيونه تخونه لين ما باح مكنونه
صويب الغزال اللي رعى عالي التنيف
في مرتع عسر على اللي يرودونه
غرير حسين الوصف ومكمل التوصيف
نذير يصون العرض واهله يدارونه
تبعد يميل الصيد شم الهوى طريف
وارموا مكانه وين كانوا يحيدونه
لو كان رماي ٍ على شارته هديف
على الشلش ولا تركد على هونه
