I took a series of photos of this Yellow-Crowned Night Heron as it ate this crawfish for breakfast. At first, I thought it was just playing with the crawfish as it kept throwing it around and shaking it in its beak. Then, my son helped me realize what it was doing—breaking off the pointed, jagged claws and feelers that would have made for a lot of discomfort going down. By the time the heron swallowed the crawfish, all its sharp-edged parts had been snapped off! Pretty clever! This photo was taken at the rookery/bird sanctuary at Lake Martin in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.

Poison
by Mark GautiThis is an image of a skull and cross bones and a clam both made with Pacific northwest coast native design elements in them. I made this image to represent the pollution that has happened to my tribe’s beaches which has made the clams and other shellfish unsafe for human consumption with out following procedures to clean the clams. The pollution is fecal coliform caused by human waste from sewage that has contaminated the beaches. The contamination is caused from all the uncared for septic tanks which people use around the beaches and when it rains the water flowing to the ocean carries the waste to the beaches. There are ways of cleaning the clams by bringing them to a place where they flush out the dirty water. Also bacteria in fecal coliform can be killed with proper cooking but the problem with shellfish is that many people steam it which does not kill the bacteria like boiling does. For me personally even if I do kill the bacteria there is the thought that I am eating someone’s shit molecules, which really disgusts me. Canada’s lack of environmental laws has failed my tribe once again and these beaches could have supported a sustainable natural resource that could feed my tribe as well as provide a commercial aspect with selling them. We have a treaty that states we can always carry on fisheries as formally, but the pollution prevents us from carrying on fisheries as formally because we can no longer just go to the beach and gather one of most important traditional foods without the chance of getting sick from eating it. The attitude that our society has towards the environment needs to change before we lose everything.

View this art with other framing options at My Gallery This artwork was featured by RB group: / Imaginative Realism / For my sister, who loves shells! A conchologist would recognize this shell configuration as not quite earthly but then again, most dreams aren’t – and who knows what a shellfish dreams? (4 spirals instead of 1 – a quadruplet!) I love the patterns, colors and reflections in this piece. And it makes me think of the beach; a big attraction to me. This version is slightly cropped on the top from the original.

A lighthouse at the Taylor Shellfish Farm near Bellingham, Washington. Wonderful people over there, if you are driving around on Chuckanut Drive pull in and enjoy some great seafood! It had been cloudy most of the day and as the sun was going down the clouds broke. It was lovely. Blog / Email Me / Galleries

Ewwwwww! I know it’s nature and it natural and it’s the way stuff is supposed to be. But ewwwwwww! This crawdad was so big it qualified to be an honourary lobster. And Big Bird here was your everyday, normal sized cattle egret so he wasn’t what you’d call “thick-necked” by any means. Once I saw how big dinner was and how small that neck was, I actually got ready to run to the bird’s aid if it got choked. What was I gonna do? Wait for God to tell me cuz I wasn’t trained in avian Heimlich maneouvers when I got my CPR certification. I figured either He was teaching a crash course or I was gonna get to photograph the THIRD part of the food chain coming down to gnaw on the dead bird! Ultimately, here was no need. Biggie here realized claws were not a positive thing inside the throat so one was removed (minor ick factor) and the head was still thinking of ways out of this untenable situation so Biggie bit it (moderate ick factor). But from then on, the ick factor maxed out so don’t read any further unless you’ve got a strong (and empty) stomach. YOU ARE FOREWARNED! Numerous bites in every direction failed to break the shell and there didn’t seem to be any urge to ‘go human’ and eat just the legs and tail. So the egret found a hard spot on the ground, possibly with a rock I couldn’t see, and proceeded to drop the crawdad repeatedly. No head shakes and no pounding or throwing motions. That eventually cracked the shell enough for the bill to pulverize the rest of the exoskeleton and…uh, ...consume the juice. (You were warned, damn it!) This left the rest of the crawdad a lot thinner so after a quick drink of the hunting waters, the egret was able to semi-chew the crawdad into a swallow-able shape, base-ick-ly whole. Relieved I wasn’t going into surgery I wouldn’t be able to film while performing (Hey, Anything For The Shot, remember?), I waited to get another one of those sweet shots of an egret flying by at eye level. Not a chance. Would you believe this sucker went back to the water and caught two more fish before I gave up on him flying??? I guess he needed to make sure there was enough in his guts to keep that broken shell’s pieces from making their departure quite an eye-opening experience. ** / Yolo Causeway Wetlands Preserve, between Sacramento and Davis, California / Taken with a tripod because the 300 MM Nikkor I have *doesn’t have VR (Arrgh!) / Taken with a Nikon D80 with a 70-300MM Nikkor telephoto lens so the bird was never in the slightest bit annoyed by my constant retching… / The bird’s colour is a bit warm from the morning sunlight; the colour balance is correct. / F-number: 5.6 / focal length: the full 33mm / Exposure time:1/200 / Metering mode: pattern / Exposure program: manual / Exposure compensation: +1 / Shot taken: 11/15/08 at 7:45am

This shot was taken at the Scottish Sea Life Sanctuary, Barcaldine, Oban, Argyll. / www.sealsanctuary.co.uk / The camera was on a tripod & the shutter was on a go slow setting. I’ll need to check to see the details. / So its not faked in anyway & I think it makes good wall art & cards too. It might even find its way onto a T-shirt!! / Its not straight out of the camera though. It went into the memory card 1st then onto the PC then uploaded to the bubble!! /
