Most raptors suffer from repeated harassment from crows,ravens, and in this case, – a magpie.
This was taken at Cape Cross along the Skeleton Coast in Namibia. / There are about 100,000 Fur Seals here making it possibly the smelliest place on earth. The seals feed on the rich fish stocks created by the cold Benguela current and amongst the colony run Blackbacked Jackals and rare endangered Brown Hyenas. / The Jackals prey on weak seals, pups and placenta. They converge on potential prey but are usually seen off by the aggressive seal bulls – as seen here. / The jackals persist and usually get their meal but not always and can be injured in the process.
The crow, which has a nest nearby, is trying to get the bald eagle to move on. The bald eagle is not very happy about being harrassed and is announcing his displeasure strongly enough to attract me with my camera. I captured this image on Willow Creek, in Campbell River, British Columbia. Technical: Nikon D300 camera body, with 200-400 mm F/4 lens, on a monopod, 1/1000 sec. at f10.
A common sight everywhere in sub-Saharan Africa, the huge Marabou Stork is both a scavenger and a predator. This one is harassing a much smaller Yellow-Billed Stork in the South Luangwa River – Zambia.
Most gulls, particularly Larus species, are ground nesting carnivores, which will take live food or scavenge opportunistically. The live food often includes crabs and small fish. Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea. The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Gulls nest in large, densely packed, and noisy colonies. They lay two to three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, being born with dark mottled down, and mobile from birth. Gulls—the larger species in particular—are resourceful and highly intelligent birds, demonstrating complex methods of communication and a highly developed social structure; for example, many gull colonies display mobbing behaviour, attacking and harassing would-be predators and other intruders.In addition, certain species have exhibited tool use behaviour. Many species of gull have learned to coexist successfully with humans and have thrived in human habitats. Others rely on kleptoparasitism to get their food. The urban gull population in the United Kingdom has been growing quickly, probably due to laws such as the Clean Air Act 1956 which prohibited the burning of garbage by local landfill owners, thus increasing the availability of food for the gulls

Someone scratched this painting on purpose. I had to fix her. She was better the first time. It wasn’t very nice, and it is the kind subtle and not so subtle harassment I have to deal with all the time because of politics. JANE À PARIS Writing and Image Copyright ©2008 JANE À PARIS
