This is definitely my favorite!

Gorgeous photo!

Marvelous! I love the colours!

Coyote - and his communication skills are quite clear. Step back.

Do you wish me to out-fox you? I can, you know...

Stunning capture!

The most beautiful image of Instant Death I know of. Ermine - their skull - consists of a huge brain- with a small face stuck on the front - all teeth.

Jack Gladstone sings a song about one of the Blackfeet names for bison: "Faces The Blizzard". They do.

Oooh, I am hoping that was a telescopic lens!

" I was just telling Gertrude about that Tusker in 1954, what a time we had "

Oh my heart! Cheetahs are my absolute favourite animal!

Is he charging through snow?!!

*Turns to the bartender*: “You can’t imagine the day I’ve had”

lol! If you've ever had a hummingbird feeder for a whole season- you've probably seen them fight. This one- looks po'd! "he is little- but he is fierce."

Thought his nostril holes were his eyes at first heehee

Awww...

Just hurry up and take the pic ,I'm busy.

They look like they have so much disdain.

I have never seen this bird before . Just so beautiful.

Eagles have an unfair advantage. One look at them- and you're "Yes? What can I do for you? "

We called 'em "horny toads" when I was a kid in Texas. Entirely harmless - easy to handle for moment, and let go.

Barn owl; iconic but struggling

How do you make such a photograph and live to post it?

Well. Exquisite. Would be the word.

Looking for the movie set around here? I'm not a dinosaur; but I play one...

Unfair!! Unfair!! .....(yes, yes, anything you want!!)

One of the Trickster Gods of the western Native Americans is- Coyote. Not exactly like Norse Loki - but in that neighborhood. This is him- right here. Why yes, I did just eat your cat. Tasty! Got any more? Look him dead in the eye- and you can hear him say it.

Quintessential Ursus. Major, of course.

Gorgeous yes. Sometimes- I can see one just by looking up out my window. Its astonishing.

"I'm freezin' my bálls off over here!"

The detail in the feathers is marvelous!

En garde. So not kidding. Pret? Allez.

Spoonbill

Red-Legged Honey Creeper. Gorgeous!

Dinner is served!

Pika - related to rabbits not squirrels; exist in N America Asia in the stone piles on high mountain tops. They whistle - sometimes it's the only way you know they're there. This one is making hay for the winter- they cut it, put it to dry in the sun, when dry they store it under the stones.

i wake up like this

How do you get such detailed photos of such tiny, fast-moving subjects??!!!

When I was a young warthog!

I frequently forget that their feathers have that iridescent touch to them.

Well hello.

Sure, it's all fun and games until you're driving through a mountain town and there is a sudden big-horned sheep flashmob.

Mexican Pronghorn

Dik-dik antelope

It's surprising how many tourists decide they want to pet the big fuzzy cow. My friend, that animal is the size of an SUV and will drop-kick you through the gates of heaven.

It looks like it's made of ceramic. Not well camoflauged.

All those spots? Turns out they are sensors. Only took us forever to notice.

"Yes, I am thinking of biting. You, possibly."

He's bugling. If you want to know what that sounds like; get about 3 feet of 3/4" black poly water pipe - and blow like a trumpet (may require learning, and lungs). Not too close to the elk- they might come.

The alert has been raised, the warning given . . . .
