Grevy’s zebra abstract closeup, captive animal.
I love this shot. The Wife and I were doing the down river canoe ride. I had the long lens and this beautiful bird flew up on a dead tree branch to show his stuff I guess. I pulled up the camera and the river was gentle for the capture. Lucky and happy too.. I decided to try to clean up the old slide image a bit. 6-11-2008 Perfect To Hang In The Den

This is Storm the Golden Eagle…found at Pacific Northwest Raptors in the Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island BC….what an honor to be able to photograph this beautiful bird so close up….he was so special…
Praying Mantis. This insect gets it’s name from the way in which it’s two front legs are bent and held together, suggesting the position of a prayer. Any profits made from the purchase of this piece, will be donated to the Wildlife-appeal / /

Bateleur Eagle / Terathopius ecaudatus The Bateleur eagle is the most famous of the snake eagles. Bateleur is French for “tightrope-walker”. This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics. Its pitch black feathers with white under the wings, bright red face and legs and black beak are characteristic markings. Unlike most creatures, female Bateleur eagles are larger than males. A big thanks to Deb for choosing this image to be showcased in Pay It Forward. Please take a look at her stunning portfolio here This is what she had to say about “Snake Hunter” “This is my all time favorite piece on redbubble. This was a very difficult choice to make!!! I have such a passion and love for nature but most of all……the birds of prey. So I gravitated in that direction. The piece I chose is of a bird of prey. It’s titled “Snake Hunter” by bobbymcleod. I love this brilliant shot and have chosen this to be my favorite. One reason being, that you don’t see many shots of these eagles. And secondly, these eagles like so many birds of prey……. have such power/determination in their eyes and they are just so incredibly beautiful!! Bobby has captured all of those elements in his brilliant photo of this stunning Bateleur Eagle.” Thanks again Deb!

This was taken at my work. He let me get about 4 ft from him. I am sure I could have gotten closer but his sharp claws and beak scared me LOL. Yes sitting on our mailbox :) He is a Goshawk. Possibly still a juvenile but I am unsure. Taken in Atlanta, Georgia – My Atlanta Hawk / Nikon D80 / 55-200mm Tamron lense / 200mm / f/4.5 / 1/80 / ISO 100 I did crop out the numbers on the mail box other than that as is from camera. / Hope you enjoy it. /

This is the quickest moving animal on the planet, the Peregrine Falcon. These birds can dive in excess of 400 kilometres per hour! This is faster than free fall speed, as they flap their wings to get even more speed on the dive.. Their prey is mostly flying, like birds and bats, so speed is a great advantage. They also hunt small mammals, small reptiles, and insects. They are the most wide-spread bird of prey, found in almost every country in the world. Canon 50D 300mm Australia Zoo QLD, I decided to re-do this photo without the blackened background, got a bit carried away earlier in the year with ruining photos.. Available Large, and best viewed Large!

The Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium to large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia. It is typically between 51-57 cm in length with a 110 to 130 cm (48-60 inch) wingspan, making it a medium-sized raptor. There are around 40,000 breeding pairs in Britain. Pairs mate for life. To attract a mate (or impress his existing mate) the male performs a ritual aerial display before the beginning of Spring. This spectacular display is known as ‘the roller coaster’. He will rise high up in the sky, to turn and plummet downward, in a spiral, twisting and turning as he comes down. To then rise immediately upward to repeat the exercise. This broad-winged raptor has a wide variety of plumages, and in Europe can be confused with the similar Rough-legged Buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the only distantly related Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus), which mimics the Common Buzzard’s plumage for a degree of protection from Goshawks. The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale ‘necklace’ of feathers.
