An Eye for Art
A bison, refreshing in the Yellowstone lake, appears to be admiring an impromptu stone sculpture.

The bison is clearly thinking what fun it'll be to knock that silly cairn down.

…A bison, refreshing in the Yellowstone lake, appears to be admiring an impromptu stone sculpture.
…
No way, with that bellicose eye, this bison doesn't show any admiration. I'm with Eric on this!
-
It looks wary to me, ready for fight or flight. Maybe you interrupted it's contemplation of gravity.
Great shot.

Chris, that one was very elegantly composed and executed.

This is what he does when you do get too close...but then I prefer an inflight shot, so no worries for me.

Since deer has no plural, you can never tell if I spotted the second one (I did) ;)

What, no deerses. Dear, dear, we must write Webster for an explanation.
I have to admit I did not see the second deer until you mentioned it...old eyes, I guess.

Nicely done, but this is actually a hoverfly (Syrphidae), or a 'bee imitator'. Bees taste bad to birds, so these guys try to camouflage themselves along those lines.

Well, there's a first I did not know, Cattle Egrets eat mice. Do tell!
Egrets, storks and herons will eat anything that moves and they can fit in their mouths. They are the least discriminationg of any predator I can think of. They eat other birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, insects, you name it and they will eat it. Google images for "heron eating" it's pretty amazing and the egrets aren't much more pickey.

I would like to ask for some assistance from the birders if they would be so kind. While I was out trying out the new Nikon 80-400 AFS lens on the local pelican population I ran across a feathered critter I have never seen in my over 50 years in these parts. I have never seen a diving bird go after catch and eat a blue crab. Could anyone supply a name?

Amazing warbler photos!

Yes, these are good shots.
Small lithe birds like these warblers are incredibly difficult to photograph well.
Takes a lot of planning - if it wasn't for the fact that they have favourite perches photographing them would be a true lottery - they rarely stay still for more than a few seconds at a time.

I was told if the egret had black legs it was a "Great" egret and yellow legs, a "Cattle or Common" egret...but Snowy Egret works for me and I like it better as a name. To me, they are just as regal as the great blues.

It gets complicated in south Florida. Not only are there Great Egrets, Cattle Egrets and Snowy Egrets, the immature Little Blue Heron is white and the Reddish Egret and Great Blue Heron both have a white color morph - and I've seen Cattle Egrets with dark and yellow-ish legs:
Cattle Egret, Yolo County California:

Cattle Egret, Kaneohe Hawaii:

immature Little Blue Herons are the size of a Snowy Egret or Cattle Egret but have a bi-colored bill:

while the Snowy Egret has a dark bill and dark legs with yellow feet (sometimes obscured by mud):

The Great Egret is larger than the Snowy & Cattle Egrets & Little Blue Heron, has a yellow bill and dark legs:

no photos, but the white color morph of the Great Blue Heron has lighter-colored legs than the Great Egret and is somewhat bigger. The white color morph of the Reddish Egret has a bi-colored bill like the immature Little Blue Heron but more reddish, and a shaggier appearance.

This is called a "Little Blue" heron here.

Yup, this is the adult. Note the bill color and compare with the immature Little Blue Heron above.

Some Wildlife SX50HS shots.
Heron was taken through wire fence, lens was just small enough !

Almost looks like a Cabella's mount. Very nice.

Here´s a shoot from late 2011 during a fishingtrip.
Somewhat different from most of the other once in this thread...but as usual with my shoots I like the simplicity !
-
Very elegant in its simplicity.

Living room slider & drapes cracked open just enough for my tele. First couple of frames he wasn't looking my way, but in this one he was looking for the source of the clicking sound. One of those lucky happenings. As you know coyotes will very rarely "look you in the eye."

A very expressive shot. It seems to think "Do I run or can I eat him? I'll watch him watching me."

I liked the way the light worked here...

Finally got to spend some time with bears in Kodiak. People talk about seeing them in their backyard. I've been here 2 years and this is the first time I've seen them at all! Definitely glad i had my camera with me!

I'm not surprised! That's a really lovely shot.

Brace yourself for "cutesy"...but I couldn't resist taking the shot.

Nicely done!
Reminds me of an older shot of mine... Close encounters with horny things, Cornettes de Bise, Chablais, France.
No surprise even the name of the summit means "Little Horns", there's a bunch of them in there. Devil territory, did you say?
Capra Ibex, as usual here at these distances.
-
Not sure of its genus but I liked its color.

Blue Morph Release
Odd, to live so long and not know that butterflies never get larger than when they emerge from the cocoon. They are as big or small as they'll ever be. Weird, but true. This was a release at the Museum of Natural History's Butterfly Pavillion, Gainesville, Fl
(http://s20.postimg.org/60ypgvo9p/blue_morph_release_fw.jpg)

Many species of adult butterflies (there are exceptions) live less than two weeks, so there isn't a lot of growth time in there!

Mike.
Does this mean that Monarchs take two weeks or less for their great migration?
-
According to the butterfly guy at the pavillion, they never get bigger or smaller than they are when they emerge from their pupa. Some, like the Monarch do live longer as do many moths. Te average life span is in the 20 to 30 day range. This does include early Monarchs though their later in the season brothers who make the long migration live up to eight months. There are many speicies that live no more than 2-3 days. that's about all I know about the fun little guys who are an absolute biotch to capture in flight.
This is the release shot.

This kayaker was close enough to the manatee to be in the "harrassment" range and was fortunate not to be seen by a park ranger. Having lost so many this year to a stange and yet undetermined malady, their safety and well being is right at the top of every wildlife officer's list.
But, it makes for a great shot and am happy for her silliness. Note the dog in the life vest in the kayak. Personally, knowing the size of the gators in that area, I'm not so sure I'd be in a kayak that small.

Found a cool bug at my sisters house (actually found 13 of them in about 15 minutes..).
Not sure if a bug qualifies as "wildlife"..
