Breakfast of Champions by Renee Dawson
Featured in Ladybugs May 23, 2009 and in Urban Wildlife July 11, 2009 Featured on RB’s Homepage August 15, 2009 / All summer I searched for ladybugs in our gardens. I did find a few but not near AS MANY as in my own home over the winter months. I lost count of how many I gathered up from nooks and crannies and placed in a little aquarium in one contained apartment. I do NOT like to kill bugs and putting them outside in the snow was not an option. My next dilemma…what to feed them? Apparently they like Cheerios! For those just itching to know, they also like raisins and sliced green grapes :) Little droplets of water each day and they made out just fine. Now that Spring has arrived the surviving ladies have all been put back outside :) Canon Rebel EOS XTi with Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. Manual Mode, SS 1/80, f/5.6, ISO 200. Photo taken in my home, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. / / Beautiful Bugs / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

Downward Fox by Jay Ryser
It’s been a while since I was at my fox hole, and decided to go to today to see how the place is. Damage from the storm has progressed to the point that all the back trails are again open and much of the debris from the storm has been removed. There are still piles of limbs here and there, and a LOT more open sky. I ran into this fox within about 50 meters of the parking lot. I’m not familiar with this fox. He sat and watched me for a bit and apparently decided I wasn’t too much of a risk and went about his morning rituals, including a long series of stretches. Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) / Wheat Ridge, CO / Sony a700 / Sigma 300/f/2.8+1.4TC / Jobu gimbal, Giottos tripod ISO 400, f/2.8, 1/80sec

Great Blue Heron III by D R Moore
Click images for a larger preview The Great Blue Heron , Ardea herodias, is a wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae. It is the largest North American heron, with a head-to-tail length of 91–140 cm (36-55 in), a wingspan of 167-201 cm (66-79 in), and a weight of 2–3.6 kg (4.4-8 lbs). Although the Great Blue Heron eats primarily fish, it is adaptable and willing to eat other animals as well. Several studies have found that voles (mice) were a very important part of the diet, making up nearly half of what was fed to nestlings in Idaho. Occasionally a heron will choke to death trying to eat a fish that is too large to swallow. This image was captured in the Jupiter, Florida / with a Canon 450D using an EFS 55-250mm lens / Focal Length 250mm / Exposure Time 1/1000s / Aperture F5.7 / ISO-400 Click Images below to visit my Gallery / / Contact D R Moore Here is another place to find my images / Thank You for Visiting my Gallery / Gallery Maintained by envelope150 / © COPYRIGHT NOTICE: NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO REPRODUCE OR DOWNLOAD ANY IMAGES WITHOUT MY EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION.THESE IMAGES ARE NOT TO BE USED IN ADVERTISING OR MASS REPRODUCTION OF ANY FORM.

About This Group
There is a huge abundance of natural wildlife in our towns and cities and this group is for all those wildlife colour photographs you have taken in the urban environment that don’t really fit into other nature groups. We don’t mind if your bird is perched on a chimney, your butterfly is on a wall, or if your polar bear is raiding a garbage bin. We simply want to see those images that have not been taken in the wild or country. We are happy to see pictures of all wildlife including insects and wild flowers as long as they have been captured in the urban environment including gardens and parks. However, we do not wish to see zoo animals, insects or exotic pets kept in captivity.
We hope that this group will be partly educational, and for that reason we ask you to try to identify your species before submitting it to the group. The internet is a vast resource and “North American Butterflies” or “European Birds” when typed into a popular search engine will reveal a host of useful sites, enabling you to discover what it is you have photographed. Any additional information, such as general location, that you can impart to Redbubblers in your descriptions will be greatly appreciated, as it all adds to the educational experience for others.
