Any other wildlife photographers care to share some images?

Some from last year.

[CAPTAIN COORS]

keep them coming

[flyingwil]

Thanks Randy, that one made me yawn! :D

Sweet pics!

[salsataco]

That pig is having a bad day.

[CAPTAIN COORS]

the pig is a wild Javelina and the thing in its nose is jumping cholla which is very painful, Most people think of Javelina as "pigs", just a desert variety of the common barnyard animal we all know so well. The fact is Javelina do share common ancestry to old world pigs and even similarities in appearance. However, Javelina have many significant differences. They have a different number of teeth, a different gestation period, a complex (versus simple) stomach, and a musk gland on their backs--the fact is, they are not "pigs".

Both Javelina (collared peccaries ~ tayassu tajacu), and pigs are members of the order artiodactyla, suborder suiformes, sharing a common ancestry dating back some 30 million years. But, because of significant anatomical and genetic differences they, have been placed in separate families - pigs in the Suidae family and Javelina in the tayassuidae.

[salsataco]

Thanks for the lesson. What is the javelina's range? There is some definate talent in this forum.

[pwc]

I like moose. they're pretty cool

Here's a couple I can muster for now

Morpho Butterfly and a Red Eyed Tree Frog

[slooowr6]

The color of that frog is amazing!

[pwc]

Yeah, I could have stayed there all day staring at them. It's amazing to see them hidden as well, I'll see if I can find that photo as well.

In the mean time, here's a couple more. I love the eyes of the osprey (http://hiddencreekphoto.smugmug.com/gallery/2368143).

PWC,

Great frog shot :)

[neliconcept]

great bokeh in the frog shot

did you use a macro lens for that or just a good lens with a good close up focusing system?

lovin all of these.

[pwc]

thanks!

The frog shot was actually taken by my wife, but with 'my' camera (not so much mine any more :( ) It was shot with a 24-105 lens at 105mm and a distance of maybe 1.5' with ISO400 setting. I love the Canon 5D as a 100% crop gives you the eye below.

The second picture is the little guy all closed up. they are hard to spot.

If I had the money id upgrade to the 5D, Fullframe is awesome. I have a 1.6x crop 30d, does me well though and Im still learning different methods

[Ursidae69]

The color of that frog is amazing!


I have to agree on that frogshot, it made me pause for a moment and just stare. I wish I could see one of those frogs in the wild and be able to get that good of a photograph. Just awesome.

This is the first time I've seen one of these birds. Northern Harrier. It just swooped into our backyard hoping to grab some sparrows from our feeders.

PS, Africa is cool.

[pwc]

One more as he flew away. Or she. I'm not sure.

[Ursidae69]

Harriers have a white rump in flight and a more owl-like face. Your bird is most-likely a coopers hawk. They love to eat birds off feeders. Cool photos. :clapsmile

[pwc]

You know, you're right. I think. Looking back at the book it noted that Cooper Hawks are 14-20". Which way do you measure that? When I went foot to head it was closer to 8.5". Also, in one of these photos it looks like the brown on the chest goes all the way up, where as my Audobon book picture shows the Cooper with more white on the neck and the smaller Sharp-Shinned Hawk as more brown all around. So now I'm just confused.

You must have tons of great pictures from your time on the Galapagos. :lurk:

[rvrfish]

We have a coopers hawk that comes by our yard/feeder every once in awhile I thought it was a sharp shin but from you description that “Coopers Hawk frequent bird feeders” I’m assuming it’s a coopers hawk.
My wife and I would like to start bird watching this year it’s amazing how many birds you see if you just stop walking and start looking. We are waiting for a class from out local Museum of Nature history this spring. until then, we just have our Sibley’s
http://www.amazon.com/Sibley-Field-Guide-Western-America/dp/0679451218

can you recommend any other books that would help us?

Back to the birdfeeder and coopers hawk, totally amazing to watch the happy birds flittering around the feeder, then swoosh! predator run/fly away!!!! We have even seen the hawk go threw hedges after prey. some times he just swoops threw the yard and lands on the fence as if to say “I’m the king look out!”

O yeah, our humming bird feeder is a lot of fun also but I have bored you all enough…

Matt W

PS I too would like to see more pictures from the Galapagos.

[kcowyo]

Per a discussion with Chuck, I had to dig deep to find any wildlife photos in my stuff. Unfortunately nothing exotic like a Jaguar, (who can top that?) but I did find a couple of critters in my collection -


#1 - Momma Grizzly Bear in Yellowstone NP
#2 - Momma Griz in YNP, giving me "the look"
#3 - Bison in YNP
#4 - Wild (?) Peacock along the Salmon River near Shoup, Idaho
#5 - Young Ram on the road along the River of No Return Wilderness, Idaho
#6 - Adult Ram near Babb, Montana
#7 - Collard Lizard on the White Rim Trail, Utah
#8 - Chuck wrangling a Midget-Faded rattlesnake on the WRT, Utah

[pwc]

Yup, it was a coopers hawk then. that one you have is much smaller

I've got another "what is it?" that I can't figure out. This is in the Puget Sound area.

[Ursidae69]

Great photo. It's a northern flicker (http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/framlst/i4120id.html), a type of woodpecker.

[SinCity4r]

A hawk that was "stuck" near my office:

[pwc]

That last shot is nice and probably the last thing a lot of small critters ever see.

I'm assuming the Northern Flicker was a Red Shafted by the range described. I actually came really close to figuring it out. I saw a Gila Flicker was really close in looks (because my books shows more of the Northerns with a distinct red mark on the head mine didn't seem to have) but obviously the wrong habitat.
Thanks again. you're now officially "that one bird guy on that one site you go to" according to my wife.

It is the red-shafted flicker variety. They do look a lot like the Gila WP. If you were in southern AZ, I would have looked a lot closer at the photo. I have some photos of northern flickers in the hand someplace, can't seem to find them now.

Nice Cooper's hawk Joel. :clapsmile

[upcruiser]

Are the Flickers common in the midwest? When i used to work vineyards, we'd see a bird that looked alot like that during harvest time. They seemed to really enjoy eating the harvest. Would a woodpecker do something like that? The resemblance is uncanny.

Flying foxes are cool. My wife loves bats , she would have a pet flying fox if she could. That spider is creeping me out though.

[kcowyo]

This is an Elephant Seal (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12732&d=1196398699), correct?

I saw and heard a couple of them playing in the shallow surf near Cambria recently. The weirdest noise I've ever heard, one calling to another. Their heads are so prehistoric, it was tough to tell them from a rock when they surfaced.

Hi Kcowyo, Yeah it is an Elephant Seal. He was about 10 feet long and close to 4 feet across. My wife and I were out hiking at Pt Reyes St Park and came across him on one of the beaches. His bellows were pretty amazing!

These are from Sequoia National Park. The Bear with the two cubs was right behind our campsite. Sorry they are so far away but that is all the zoom the wifes' S500 Canon has. Somewhere I have pics I took with my 35mm. If I get them digitized I will post them too.

Great shots! Nice to see the little ones.:sombrero:

Thanks.

I wish we could've seen one on the beach but they stayed in the water. I couldn't even begin to describe that sound to others. Amazing indeed. We really enjoyed the Monterey Bay area.

Mark, do you still have your FWC?

Hi KC, They are amazing. If you are ever in Northern California in late January, check out around Point Reyes National Seashore area. They are often sitting on the beaches sunning themselves.
I still have the FWC and still love it.

THis was from the Galapagos. It's a raw unedited image. I crawled into a tidal pool to get it about 3' witha small Olypus SW 720 pocket camera. We had been snorkeling so I did not have my 10D unfortunetly.

These are from a few months ago I was on the Hillsborough river doing a guided trip. These were a few highlight shots from the day again unedited just raw stuff.

Another cool visitor (or should I say visitors) to the homestead. A group of Cedar Waxwings decided to drop in today - probably the lack of water around the area drew them to our oasis.

An amazing bird really - beautiful colors, and a cool crest (not shown).

Here's a couple recent wildlife shots..

1) Zebra's captured on film, on a recent wildlife safari with my wife. Really, we were just up in San Simeon for the weekend and they were along the road below Hearst Castle.

2) Rattle Snake on the Mojavi trail somewhere near Kelso.

XT is pretty good. Believe the XTi is better. Cost a good bit more. Yeah Nikon has some really good cameras as well. I prefer Canon over Nikon but I'm not aganist owning a D40 or any D series by Nikon.

Looking at 40D's. The main thing keeping me from Nikon is the button layout. I have an older semipro 35mm eos that I love even more than the XT because of its size and layout.

Nope, but I've considered getting one for myself for diving. The UW housings for SLR's are extremely expensive, but ones for the point and shoots are about 1/10th the price.

[Mudpro]

One of my favorites. It was about 10 degrees early in the morning at Yellowstone and I sat watching this coyote play with a rodent in the icy grass for a good half an hour before snapping this one:

This afternoon I looked into the cove in front of my house here in Baja and saw dolphins moving in. I took about 160 photos and then 45 minutes of video. They came in so close to where I was shooting that their tail slaps were getting me wet. I am semi deaf, to many big waves slamming me when I was younger, and was able to hear them breathing. The light was terrible as I was shooting at almost an overhead sun.

Well, I have been looking around here for a while, then someone told me there was a forum here to, and that I might try selling my trailer -- so, I should probably contribute in some other way also. Thanks for having this dedicated photography thread. I'm a frustrated photographer, my motto is: I still haven't found what I'm looking for. Still... and 16 years later, still looking...

Anyway, here are a couple of the few wildlife shot's I've captured:

Ok so some older shots that were taken over the past 4 years.

This was taken last year on the Hillsborough river. The pigs are common but most people do not get to see them. I was on a private guided trip with a small family. about 4 miles intot he trip these 2 adults along with the piglets came down tot he river and were messing about in a small bog about 30' from us. I was only using an olympus sw720 for this so no real zoom.

Several years ago in Baja we passed quite a few instances of a vulture sitting on top of a saguaro warming its wings in the morning sun. It was a beautiful iconic site. With all the Baja travellers here I scanned the thread hoping to see one posted. No luck...

Anyone have one to post?

We did the same, nursed a Kestrel like that back to health after it was caught by some yahoos who didn't know how to take care of it. Long story, but they turned it over, finally, to the San Diego Wild Animal Park/Zoo, and because of some connections we had with people we knew, we got to keep the thing for 4 weeks then release it. It was really great for three boys in grade school to be able to have something like that in their home for that time -- we fed it mice on the kitchen counter.

Can't remember what the bug is.

The snake is a Gopher snake, used to catch those all the time when I was a kid -- they can get really big.

Went for a hike today in the hills above beautiful downtown Burbank. I stopped to take a picture of some of the few remaining Spring wildflowers. As I knelt to take the picture I noticed a repetitive pattern just above my head. This is what I found. Much more interesting than the flower I shot.

[Zeero]

There is some great shots in this thread...nice work guys!

Heres my additions, all were shot in the wild with the exception of the Sumatran Tiger....that was at a local zoo.

The good thing is, it's not a Coral snake. It looks similar to a Western Shovelnose snake. That's the closest thing I could find in my Audubon Guide to the Desert.

This dove showed up about a month ago and now hangs around all the time,besides letting me get close he comes down when i lay out the sunflower seeds!Since its been 100+ during the day he also lets me spray him with the hose to cool down,neat bird!

SWR,

That is a sonoran mountain kingsnake (Lampropeltis pyromelana).

Here is a link with more info: http://www.reptilesofaz.com/Snakes-Subpages/h-l-pyromelana.html

I've caught dozens of them, they rarely bite and are amazing to look at with their colors. Nice find. :)

Cool story on that dove lqhikers, it is a eurasian collared dove, a european species that was introduced by accident into the Bahamas in the 1970s, it then made it to Florida in 1982, and has since spread across the entire nation. They are pretty and have a nice call.

Maybe you are a good person to ask....

I came across this bird at a local park about 2 years ago. I have never been able to identify it. Any thoughts?

Waterfowl commonly hybridize, especially where there are domestic flocks present like at a park. Your bird is a hybrid muscovy duck, no idea what it hybridized with, but that is common. Check out this link: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/crows/domducks.htm

[Starscream]

Thanks! I figured that it was some form of genetic mutation or hybrid. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Cardinals have almost become cliche in terms of their beauty and representation in the American songbird hierarchy. But when you are out of their range and don't see them much, that color and beauty is striking. Great picture!

I'm so jealous! My wife and I hiked this same trail last year and the whole time we were talking about being able to photograph one of these!

Those are great shots too!!

I'm not sure if this should be in the Wildlife thread as it's just one lonely egg right now and hasnt hatched yet

We found this in a clay planting pot behind the shed while visiting Cindy's sister in Louisiana

Took a couple of bird pictures over the weekend on a birding trip to La Joya Wildlife Area near Bernardo New Mexico.

I wish I had a 400mm lens or larger, but I don't. These were taken with the Canon 70-200f4L. Someday I'll save up for the big lens. :coffeedrink:

So I was out paddling the river thursday and came across an alligator snapping turtle. 2nd one I have seen on the river and only my 3rd in the wild. THanks to my olympus stylus I was able to get some underwater pics.

Dang Nullifier, that thing is HUGE! I'd have been scared to put my hand anywhere near it. Wind up losing a finger:Wow1:

LOL I guess it is all relative. About 15 minutes before I saw it I was standing in the water cutting a downed tree with 2 large gators about 15 away. I guess you could say I have no fear.....I mean sense when it comes to getting close to wildlife. I think when you deal with wildlife on a daily basis you realize there are much scarier things in life like zombies and hieghts :yikes::yikes::yikes:

These little goslings were just too funny.
