Usually Great Blue Herons move very slowly in the water and are very still before they pounce on their prey. In this case, though, this bird spotted a fish, ran wildly, then dove in for the capture.

Great capture, Woody. That head-on angle and tight focus on the eyes really makes for a menacing mien!

Just this morning someone posted a few photos on Facebook of a coyote in their backyard. This area is very suburban - farmland is at least 15 minutes away but not even much of that around here. Great image, Woody.

Thanks, I admit that I really like this shot.

Thanks! Coyotes are very adaptable to different situations. We had one in our backyard about a month ago, as well. Poor thing had a bad case of mange.

Looking at this Black-billed Magpie's tail you can see it's been in a few tussles. I saw some Magpies this morning swooping at and scolding a Coyote to try to make it go away. They had a nest nearby. They were protecting their young. Nothing could be more important.
