It’s the largest egret in the Old World, and thus has garnered the name Great White Egret. But in the Americas, the white form of the Great Blue Heron is larger and warrants that name. In the United States, the Great Egret used to be called the American Egret but that was hardly appropriate, since the species range extends beyond America and indeed farther than other herons.

Eurasian Eagle Owl ( Bubo bubo ) This little girl who has no pet name as yet they just call her baby she is only three weeks old and is part of a successful breeding program and probably the cutest bird that I have uploaded to date she was just adorable…. (-: Description: When of adult size the upperparts are brown-black and tawny-buff, showing as dense freckling on the forehead and crown, stripes on the nape, sides and back of the neck, and dark splotches on the pale ground colour of the back, mantle and scapulars. A narrow buff band, freckled with brown buff, runs up from the base of the bill, above the inner part of the eye and along the inner edge of the black-brown, “ear-tufts”. Habits: Active mainly at dusk to dawn. Flight is noiseless, whith soft wingbeats interrupted by gliding when flying over long distance. Will sometimes soar. Voice: A deep, monotonous “oohu-oohu-oohu”. The female’s call is slightly higher than the male’s. When threatened, they may bark and growl. Hunting & Food: Eagle Owls have various hunting techniques, and will take prey on the ground or in full flight. They may hunt in forests, but prefer open spaces. / Eagle Owls will eat almost anything the moves – from beetles to roe deer fawns. The major part of their diet consists of mammals (Voles, rats, mice, foxes, hares etc…), but birds of all kinds are also taken, including crows, ducks, grouse, seabirds, and even other birds of prey (including other owls). Other prey taken include snakes, lizards, frogs, fish, and crabs. / The most common type of prey depends largely on relative availability, but are usually voles and rats. In some coastal areas, they have been known to feed mainly on ducks and seabirds. / Pellets are somewhat compressed, irregularly cylindrical or conical shaped, averaging about 75×32 mm (3×1.25”). Habitat: Eagle Owls occupy a variety of habitats, from coniferous forests to warm deserts. Rocky landscapes are often favoured. Adequate food supply and nesting sites seem to be the most important prerequisites. Distribution: North Africa, Europe, Asia, Middle East.

Featured in Color and Light, Dimensions, All Countries~Wetlands, Ponds, Lakes, and Rivers, Eagles Only, and in Alphabet Soup, Top 10 Challenge Winner Alphabet Soup (Letter E). This juvenile bald eagle carries the carcass of a mallard duck, he may have killed himself, or stolen from another eagle. Life in the marsh can be difficult, and all its inhabitants struggle to survive during the winter. This image was captured at a marsh in the Comox Valley of Canada’s Vancouver Island in February of 2009 using a Nikon D300, a Nikkor f4 600 mm lens, on a large Gitzo tripod, ISO 400, f4, 1/500s. Within a few seconds of this capture, the eagle loses his grip on the duck and drops it into the waters of the marsh in an image I titled, The Gruesome End

Went to go spend the day with Storm, Hank and Shaya today….and as luck would have it… / Hank decided to go for a bath….Oh my gosh…was I lucky or what??? / The white you are seeing in Hank’s eyes is something called a nictitating membrane. This eyelid is transparent, and sweeps across the eye from side to side. It grows in the inner corner of the eye, right next to the tear duct. This is a protection against getting any water, blood, etc in the eye…So all my bath pictures have Hank with his nictitating membrane. Nothing is wrong with his eyes at all…

I am so excited to announce that this photo is being published in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC! It will be in February 2010 issue…YAY!!! such an honor

A Black Lahu boy with his decoy parakeet. In the early mornings he will place his chained bird in a tree near his family’s rice fields and surround it with bamboo sticks that he has coated with a sticky glue made from pulverised tree bark. When his bird calls, it will attract flocks of wild parakeets that he hopes will land on his sticky sticks and become glued. The captured birds are plucked, grilled and smashed up with chilli and salt in a mortar, a nutritious accompaniment to mountain rice. One of the first ‘toys’ that hilltribe boys master, is a slingshot. This boy, Kali, has one in his hand, and he is an expert at hitting anything edible, usually birds and squirrels. The hilltribe people in northern Thailand have always relied on wild foods to supplement their cultivated rice. This photo was taken in a remote village near the Burma border in 1979. Kali is now the village headman, and has several of his own children.

I love watching herons wading in the shallow waters searching for their dinner. Sometimes it is really funny! They have some humorous antics! This art work has been FEATURED in the “Impressionism Cafe” group! :)

Entitled, “Tracking The Bobwhite”. Artists collaboration between myself and Bunny Clarke. This work has been FEATURED in the “Wolves in Art” group! :) Here is Bunny’s original design that I added my design ideas to: Bunny Clarke’s design When I first started playing around with Bunny’s original design I had another idea in mind, then went in a totally different direction using fall colors. Bunny’s design reminded me of a bobwhite quail’s feathers, so I went from there…...
