2009-03-22Date uploaded / 1805Views Now I’ve lived in Florida for oh 5 nearly 6 years now and have never come across such a gorgeous moth. This moth is 4.5 in width, quite large species. Here is my original photo taken this morning of this stunning moth. He/she is still sitting on the fence and quiet content. I had 4 dogs over playing and running back in forth, and children running around yelling. All the while it wasnt frighten off! We were able to touch it gently, open its wings, pet its head and belly and it seemed happy enough to indulge our curiosity. But something tells me this creature came for a reason, so of course i did my research and learned about the spirit animal Butterfly/Moth! It appears to be precisely on point too. So I returned and thanked the creature and offered my habititat on any occassion and welcomed its presence. Personally I hope it visits daily as it really brighten my day and reminded me life is fleeting and beauty even so small is worth stopping and taking notice. For more educational information go here to learn more about these LUNA MOTHS. Note I read this too: / About luna moth life cycle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atOSro3_W7c also read an article that said this: Relationship to Humans: People rarely see Luna Moths, mostly because they fly late at night. It is a treat to see one, because they are very beautiful insects. Humans have caused Luna Moths to become endangered by pollution and loss of habitat. Luna Moth caterpillars do not do much damage to trees. Guess we were really blessed to see one, sad thing …they only live 1 week! Image copyright © 2009 Lisa C. Weber.

I was totally in Awe as these beautiful birds flew overhead yesterday evening shooting in the Noosa Basin again.. I noticed them in the distance a few days back, with my earlier shots, and was determined to get these close. I didn’t manage to get too close unfortunately, but did snap this one. They come here in the evenings to hang out on a small dead tree. I will get these close one day soon :) Fingers crossed they hang around for a while. They have a beautiful “sing” call, rather than the other species of cockatoo seems to be more a “squark”.. Canon 50D, 400mm. Noosa Basin, Noosaville, Queensland. This was the last shot I managed to get with the 1/400 shutter, then most the captured were blurred due to low light. Available Large, best viewed large!

Another of the wonderful creatures being mended and kept healthy by the good people at the Lathrop E. Smith Environmental Education Center near Olney, Maryland. Once back on his feet … er … wings … out into the wild he’ll go!! I love to hear them calling outside my house!! Based on the full size images that I have of him, I believe this to be a red-tailed hawk. From Wikipedia: “The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) is a medium-sized bird of prey, one of three species colloquially known in the United States as the “chickenhawk,” though it rarely preys on chickens. It breeds throughout most of North America, from western Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies, and is one of the most common buteos in North America. There are fourteen recognized subspecies, which vary in appearance and range. It is one of the largest members of the genus Buteo in North America, typically weighing from 690 to 1600 grams (1.5 to 3.5 pounds) and measuring 45–65 cm (18 to 26 in) in length, with a wingspan from 110 to 145 cm (43 to 57 in). The Red-tailed Hawk displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females averaging about 25% heavier than males. / The Red-tailed Hawk occupies a wide range of habitats and altitudes, including deserts, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, tropical rainforests, agricultural fields and urban areas. It lives throughout the North American continent, except in areas of unbroken forest or the high arctic. It is legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. / Because they are so common and easily trained as capable hunters, the majority of hawks captured for falconry in the United States are Red-tails. Falconers are permitted to take only hawks in their first year. Adults, which may be bred, are not permitted to be taken for falconry. Falconers prefer to train first year hawks, which have not been locked into uncooperative adult behaviors. / The Red-tailed Hawk also has significance in Native American culture. Its feathers are considered sacred by some tribes, and are used in religious ceremonies.” Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens on June 10, 2009.

A south eastern red tailed black cockatoo poses for some shots, he almost looks a little shy ! There are 5 subspecies of Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo in Australia. The South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii graptogyne) is only found in south-east South Australia and south-west Victoria. With an estimated population of about 1400 birds, the South-eastern Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo is in danger of extinction,which is why it is so important for breeding programs like those at the Melbourne Zoo to try to keep these guys safe now and in the future Information from Redtail.com.au Canon 450D / EF 75/300 lens
