A Reddish Egret in early dawn light
From birdnote:
The Reddish Egret, a particularly glamorous heron, is best known for its startling antics in capturing fish. When fishing, the egret sprints across the lagoon, weaving left and right, simultaneously flicking its broad wings in and out, while stabbing into the water with its bill. Fish startled at the egret’s crazed movements become targets of that pink dagger. At times, the bird will raise its wings forward over its head, creating a shadow on the water. It then freezes in this position for minutes. Fish swim in, attracted by a patch of shade and . . . well, you know the rest.
a fox hunting
The fox was far from me, more than 100m and I was behind a fence.
He was in search of food, maybe rabbits as there is a lot of them here

Lake Meligkou or Moustou, Kynouria, Astros, Arcadia, eastern Peloponnese, Greece.
The Lake Meligkou, better known as Lake Moustou, is a wetland system consisting of two lakes, Lake Moustos and a smaller, Lake Cherronissos. It is located in the center of the bay of Astros, behind a sandy beach.
The Lake is formed by the waters of a spring that flows from the edge of the hill to the east and goes directly into the sea. The lake has many spas and many visitors swim close to the source.
The Lake Moustos is one of the most important wetlands in the geographic region of Peloponnese, Greece, with priceless value for the ecological balance. As a wetland, this ecosystem enriches the underground water reserves, filters the stuffed water that they receive, binds carbon dioxide, regulates the local climate by storing or releasing heat, supports the food chains and provides shelter to many plant and animal species. It is the only place in the area that presents a gateway for the migratory birds. For this reason the area is protected and it belongs to the network of Natura 2000. The predominant vegetation consists of dunes, salt marshes and reed beds, while the interesting wildlife of the lake includes fish, reptiles, amphibians and a wide variety of birds. Moorhens, mallards, herons, swan and coots spend winter at this area while the coastline is inhabited by Caretta Caretta turtles.

Normally I wouldn't post an image where the subject was flying out of frame at thirds, but in this case it just works for me..I hope you don't get bored by a few images of this shoot being posted so close together between other genres of photography... I usually like to keep my stream varied so as not to bore people to death with the same subject in a million different incremental positions...I only choose to post the best of what I capture from any given shoot and i throw the rest away.This image isn't completely noise free as I'm working with a 7D mark 1 and it's very unforgiving with noise when working over 400 ISO at 1600th shutter speed and at 7.1 aperture { Which is the sweet spot on the 7d when shooting BIF }... I really would love a 7d mark 3 and a better lens than my Sigma 150-500mm... It's a terrific lens but when you're at the full 500mm, the image quality is a bit on the soft side, and your subject is still out of full range and, you have to crop in, and with a 7d mark 1 you don't have the latitude for noise correction and crop, and it grates through my bones to throw so many potentially good captures away... Well, enough of my rant...
Please press L on your keyboard for the best view...Thanks in advance for any faves and comments...Always appreciated...Andy :-}

One from yesterday. It was a funny old day weather wise, very cold with rain, snow and hailstones but I was not bothered in the least after seeing and watching this beauty.

This coyote has given me some great photo opportunities lately. He has been seen in a cemetery that also has fields, woods, and a swamp area surrounding it.
These guys were working the tall weeds around a prairie dog village today at North Boulder Open Space. Heavily cropped and hand held resting on the car hood!

Along the coast, many brown bears (Ursus actos) hunt for the clams uncovered during low tides. They probably use all of their senses to find them as they walk around with their nose close the ground.Silver Salmon Creek Lodge, Lake Clark National Park on the coast of Cook Inlet. Alaska.
