  To get this shot, My friend Jack talked to the bird, starting from across the field. Eventually he was close enough to shoot this, and even pet it. / You just have to see him do it to believe it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/robandstephanielevy/714249061/ / – Frogmouth being petted / http://www.flickr.com/photos/robandstephanielevy/891690163/ / – Jack and his friend

  Gyptian
  by Mundy Hackett

  This cougar’s pose reminded me of so many statues and other works of art from ancient egypt depicting the sphinx. / / American mountain lion, aka cougar aka puma. If you would like to see the version from the NEW SIGNATURE SERIES that utilizes the painterly effects of photoshop combined with the emotive scenes of the natural world to create a visual feast for all discriminating art lovers go HERE. Because of the signature this line will not be available as cards, I apologize about this but I have the same shots available for purchase as cards but without a signature. They can be located by browsing my portfolio. This line will continue my broad efforts to promote awareness and raise funds for endangered species globally. One half of all net proceeds (50%) are going to The Cougar Fund / / Those who may prefer a more traditional photograph can view the original image by going HERE / / “Puma concolor: / The Latin name for the cat of many names Cougar. Catamount. Painter. Panther. Ghost cat. Puma. Mountain lion. In speaking of the many names of cougar, one folktale tells the story of Native Americans who would bring pelts to trade in what is now New York City. When the Europeans and white settlers would question why all only skins of females (given the lack of manes) were brought for trade, the Native Americans explained that the males lived far away in the mountains, playing a joke of sorts on the naïve newcomers—this is why cougars, who are not specific to mountain regions at all, came to be known as “mountain lions”. The etymological history of the word cougar comes from French naturalist-explorer Count Georges-Louis Leclerc Buffon, who called Puma concolor “cuougar”. This usage was derived from the Brazilian Portugese word cuguacuarana, which in turn came from the Tupi Indian word susuarana, which means “false deer”. We find that this word aptly captures the international allure and cross-cultural nature of the species, while distinguishing our organization from a popular brand of athletic shoes—Puma. Erie as in Erie Canal, Erie Street and Erie Boulevard were named after Lake Erie which in turn was named after the Indian people who lived along the lake’s southern shore, an area where cougars were abundant. The cougars there were called Erielhonan, meaning “long tail” and the Native Americans living there were called Erie or Cat Nation. In 1600, some 14,000 Eries lived in villages between what is now Buffalo, NY and Sandusky, Ohio. In 1656, the Erie were almost exterminated by the Iroquois League. The surviving captives were either adopted or enslaved. Symbolism, Lore and Native American Experience with Cougar “Ghostwalker” The spirit of the Cougar chose to take the earth and walk as a spiritual hunter, to teach unconditional leadership, patience and determination. “The strengths they represent have a powerful lesson for those that are willing to learn from them” -Nancy Wood Taber, artist According to animal totem lore, cougar is the energy of leadership. If we listen to Cougar we learn to become the leader that people follow by choice, not by force. Cougar has the wisdom to lead through love, not through fear. Cougar is a take-charge totem or energy. Cougar people are such natural leaders that others tend to take their leadership for granted. If no one else is leading, cougar will naturally take over. Cougar is graceful and balances intention, strength and responsibility. Others are always safe when cougar is in charge. The cougar is very elusive and is rarely encountered in the wild. Because of this quality, cougar can appear without being noticed and quietly take control of a situation. Sometimes this can lead to conflict with others over territory. It is often noted as an animal that is independent, shy and withdrawn. The same characteristics are often found in people with this medicine. Cougar is associated with leadership and teaches decisiveness in the use of personal power. When it attacks it does not hesitate. When threatened it goes for the most vulnerable place. Cougar is not often allowed to show vulnerability. True leadership through gentle assertiveness is what cougar teaches those with this totem. Cougar people are often very sure of themselves, not taking any unnecessary steps or exerting any extra energy beyond what is required of them to achieve their goal. Most cougars learn by trial and error, which strengthens them and hones their skills. In life, cougar people may find that others will not like these assertions. Cougar people mustn’t allow others to keep them stationary—cougar people stretch their muscles and show their capabilities. Those with the cougar medicine are often attacked by others, especially by those who have grown comfortable with the status quo and do not wish to see those who have this totem grow. Even still, they may never admit when a cougar person does grow. A cougar will leap at opportunities. Those with cougar medicine take control of their life and circumstances most effectively.” ~Excerpt from The Cougar Fund The Eastern cougar, native to states in North America East of the MIssissippi River, is gone from over 99% of it’s range and is listed as an endangered species of critical status.

  Mramba II
  by Mundy Hackett

  Black and white version of Mramba, to me this has a whole different level of intensity. Which version do you like? Captive animal. / / / / The future of African predators is in peril. It is estimated that only 10,000-15,000 free-roaming African lions remain, down from 50,000 a decade ago. African lions are now listed as Endangered (West African subspecies) and Vulnerable (East and Southern African subspecies) by the World Conservation Union and are on Appendix II of the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) list. African lions are in danger of disappearing altogether due to disease (FIV, bovine tuberculosis, canine distemper) and habitat encroachment. Today’s modern world subjects lions and other wildlife to many dangers. Mankind constantly seizes more and more of the remaining wild areas of Africa, forcing lions onto smaller and smaller parcels of land. Large-scale developments destroy the lion’s natural habitat. In areas inhabited by livestock, lions are frequently shot, snared or poisoned. And sadly, the hunting of these amazing animals for “sport,” for man’s pleasure, is still encouraged as a revenue producing industry by many African governments. African predators simply will not survive unless they are protected. 100% of proceeds from any sales of this image will be donated to the Virginia Zoo

  Tawny Frogmouths
  by yorgi

  These three Tawny Frogmouths came to visit our backyard for a couple of days in Montmorency, Victoria. They were all very placid and relaxed and not bothered by me sneaking up to take photos. This shot was taken with a Nikon D 80 with a Nikkor 18-200 mm lens. Edited in PS CS3. This image was also featured in the local community newpaper.

  Tawny Frogmouth
  by reflector

  I went over to this tree to take some photos of things on the ground around it. I looked up to see if there was anything that really caught my eye as a potential shot. As I looked across the branches I saw a Tawny Frogmouth just sitting right there and forgot about the tree altogether ! I got my first Tawny Frogmouth capture, ever ! They are not owls, but they are awake at night and sleep during the daytime. Unlike owls that hunt and catch prey using their claws, the Frogmouth catches it’s prey in it’s beak.

  Curving To The Grand
  by A.M. Ruttle

  The Grand Teton is truly as remarkable as it seems in images, and every shift in the weather or season shows yet another side of it many facets.

  Tawny Owl
  by Shaun Whiteman

  Taken with a Canon 50D, Tamron 90mm prime macro lens, F2.8 shutter speed 1/800 second ISO200, edited in Photoshop Another shot from my local bird of prey centre… www.turbarywoods.co.uk/ The Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) is a stocky, medium-sized owl which is common in woodlands across much of Eurasia. Its underparts are pale with dark streaks, and the upperparts are either brown or grey, with several of the eleven recognised subspecies having both variants. The nest is typically in a tree hole, and eggs and young are fiercely defended against potential predators. This owl is non-migratory and highly territorial, and many young birds starve if they cannot find a vacant territory once parental care ceases. Please view large
