Actually, I was in this area near Lovelock, NV looking for a place to indulge in my nightscape adventures. Turned out I would not have been alone, but it was cloudy and I did not go out for the evening. Ya gotta love these wild burros, especially the back row in this image.
Portneuf (Québec) - En photo animalière, il faut parfois prendre des risques, au péril de sa vie, pour réussir un cliché. Après avoir ouï les rugissements féroces (genre miaou) de ce qui me semblait être une meute de bêtes sauvages cachée dans sa tanière, dans l’enrochement en bordure du fleuve, je décidai de m’approcher doucement, en rampant, mon lourd attirail à la main. C'est alors que j'aperçus ces deux individus qui, eux aussi, avaient décelé ma présence. Il fallait donc faire vite. Clic. Puis, l’un d’eux entreprit de s’approcher lentement, de son pas félin, m’adressant un regard à glacer le sang (si si). N'écoutant que mon courage, je décidai de rester et j’appuyai frénétiquement sur le déclencheur. L’animal poussa alors un autre rugissement (remiaou). Cette fois, c’en était trop. Je me levai et je pris mes jambes à mon cou. Ouf.

Sometimes, a wildlife photographer has to take risks, even put his life in danger, to get the shot. After hearing what seemed to be wild, ferocious cats roaring (actually, it was more like meow), I grabbed my gear, got down on the ground and started crawling towards the den, in the rocks along the river. Then I saw these two beasts and realized they had also detected my presence. Click. One of them started to move slowly in my direction, giving me a scary, killer look. Courageously, I decided to stay and take more pictures. But then it roared (meow). That was too much. I got up and ran as fast as I could in the other direction, hoping I had a shot I could post on Flickr.

Allium ursinum, known as wild garlic, ramsons, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek or bear's garlic, is a bulbous perennial flowering plant in the lily family . It is a wild relative of onion, native to Europe and Asia, where it grows in moist woodland. Quoted from Wikipedia.

These photos were taken on May 10th which was the last day of my adventure with four friends to Point Pelee.
On this day we arose early in hopes of seeing an elusive Woodcock. We heard one but could not see it.
We couldn't help but stop for Wild Turkeys once again. We do have them in Alberta but I have never seen one in my travels.
Thanks everyone for your views, comments and fave's! They are appreciated!
Wild burros were hanging around Rock House Recreation Area that has a visitor center, parking, and boat launch facilities.
This Bureau of Land Management (BLM) site is 13 miles east of Parker, Arizona on Parker Dam Road... along the Lower Colorado River in the Parker Strip Recreation Area (on the California side of the river).

It's been 48 hours of weather chaos
with torrential rain,
fierce winds snapping trees in half
and squashing cars
wild surf conditions crippling boats
and yatchs, plus
lengthy power cuts

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

They were down the hill looking for food today. At the wild goat park, Galloway forest park, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
A great opportunity to get close to the goats that have been roaming this area since the 1970s. Around 50 live in the Park while several hundred more live in the surrounding hills.
These hairy, long-horned beasts are British Primitive Goats. Goats like these were kept by our ancestors, who valued them for their milk, meat and skins.
Had a great encounter with a group of young wild boar. this one came within 15ft to work out what I was
One of group of about 6 wild turkeys that were foraging along the side of the road in RMNP.
All comments are appreciated. TIA.
Allium ursinum – known as ramsons, buckrams, wild garlic, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek or bear's garlic – is a wild relative of chives native to Europe and Asia.[1] The Latin name is due to the brown bear's taste for the bulbs and its habit of digging up the ground to get at them; they are also a favorite of wild boar.
Habitat
Allium ursinum grows in deciduous woodlands with moist soils, preferring slightly acidic conditions. It flowers before deciduous trees leaf in the spring, filling the air with their characteristic garlic-like scent. The stem is triangular in shape and the leaves are similar to those of the Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis). Unlike the related Allium vineale (crow garlic) and Allium oleraceum (field garlic), the flower-head contains no bulbils, only flowers.[2] In the British Isles, colonies are frequently associated with bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), especially in ancient woodland. It is considered to be an Ancient Woodland Indicator (AWI) species.
Edibility
The leaves of A. ursinum are edible; they can be used as salad, spice,[4] boiled as a vegetable,[5] in soup, or as an ingredient for pesto in lieu of basil. The stems are preserved by salting and eaten as a salad in Russia. A variety of Cornish Yarg cheese has a rind coated in wild garlic leaves.[6] The bulbs and flowers are also edible, though less famed for their taste than the leaves.
The leaves are also used as fodder. Cows that have fed on ramsons give milk that tastes slightly of garlic, and butter made from this milk used to be very popular in 19th-century Switzerland.
The first evidence of the human use of A. ursinum comes from the Mesolithic settlement of Barkær (Denmark), where an impression of a leaf has been found. In the Swiss Neolithic settlement of Thayngen-Weier (Cortaillod culture) there is a high concentration of pollen from A. ursinum in the settlement layer, interpreted by some as evidence for the use of A. ursinum as fodder.
Similarity to poisonous plants
The leaves of A. ursinum are easily mistaken for Lily of the Valley, sometimes also those of Colchicum autumnale and Arum maculatum. All three are poisonous and possibly deadly. A good means of positively identifying ramsons is grinding the leaves between one's fingers, which should produce a garlic-like smell. When the leaves of Allium ursinum and Arum maculatum first sprout they look similar, but unfolded Arum maculatum leaves have irregular edges and many deep veins while ramsons leaves are convex with a single main vein. The leaves of Lily of the Valley come from a single purple stem, while the leaves of A. ursinum have individual green-coloured stems.
