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.

Sasha and I found this scared and hungry fellow in the dumpster by North Point Marina. The dumpster was very big and he couldn't get out without help.
To find long piece of wood around the marina was almost impossible, so we ran to the woods next to the marina and found old big branch on the ground.
It was very heavy but my 9 year old didn't complain so I didn't :-).
The second we put the branch into the dumpster he came out. I didn't have a chance get my camera.
He looked at us for couple seconds and ran away.

Mit Karin am letzten Tag im Naturschutzgebiet Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen haben wir diese Füchsin beim erfolgreichen Jagen einer Maus beobachtet.
With Karin on the last day in the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen nature reserve we dobserve this vixen successfully hunting a mouse.
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.
Having successfully traversed the spiral tunnels and the Kicking Horse Pass, CP 1401 winds its way through the S curves on the approach to control point Ottertail. Having shot this location in the past, I knew this scene with the peak of Mt. Carnarvon in Yoho National Park off in the distance was a must when I was location planning for this trip.

A Common stork often seen in fields, grasslands and in dry lakebeds and easily identified by its black body and white neck. They are resident birds in the country and can be seen throughout the year.
The colors of the bird are quite interesting and the wings and head feathers are iridescent. They are pretty tall around 80-90 cms and taller compared to the other herons / storks we have here. The birds are seen in small groups, though they forage alone like this one.
We sighted this in a grassland and the rains made the landscape very beautiful. These large storks were hunting for insects in the semi wet ground and seemed quite successful in getting a good meal.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
Seen at Tawharanui Peninsula, New Zealand.
Saddlebacks were widespread in New Zealand, but their numbers rapidly declined following the introduction of predatory mammals, especially ship rats and stoats, by early settlers. By the early 1900s, North Island saddlebacks were confined to a single Island off the northeast coast of the North Island. A series of successful bird translocations started in the 1960s. There are now 15 island populations and five at predator-fenced mainland sites.
The population here on the Tawharanui Peninsula were introduced in 2012, and they are now thriving in the relatively safe predator-fenced environment.
Spotted Flycatcher - another one from earlier in the year. The pair were feeding chicks that fledged successfully, wonderful to watch these normally illusive birds. Another unforgettable experience!

And, I am still learning how to use Photoshop!

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

Mira and Nelli, not searching for the weekend
but for the first mouse they ever saw
(and finally successfully caught) in their lives.
TGIF !
Red-necked Grebe; a rare bird this far south. Because of the dark lines on its cheeks, this is likely a first year bird.
I can't say the same thing about the photographer, since I forgot to reset the shutter speed on my camera and had a lot of blurry shots! (I'm surprised I got any in focus). The Red-tailed hawk flew across the road in front of me and caught a mouse or vole. It proceeded to devour its prey in all its bloody goriness. Those of you who hate that kind of shot will be happy to know they all came out blurry. It took less than a minute for the prey to be devoured.
