Love the Bots shots, my favourite is the lion peering from behind the thornbush with flowers in the background, apart from an interesting scene/expression how often do you see lions and flowers in the same photo?
We have little pardalotes (sp?) here that puff themselves up to look all important, kinda funny as they are only about 2" long

Love the horny Red Wing doing his thing. A sure sign that spring and summer are arriving.

That is one of the younger "black mane" lions of the Kalahari....the Kalahari is in full bloom in the middle of February and actually resembles a green and yellow flowered valley than a desert. The giraffe picture was taken at the same time and I believe the lion was watching the giraffe.

Not a Pinyon Jay but a male Mountain Bluebird. Great Picture! Beautiful little birds.We are surrounded by bluebirds here in New Mexico! This little guy is a Pinyon Jay, isn't he cute?

We have an osprey nest in our back yard, so I've been trying to nail a few images each day
lOVE THE OSPREY LOOKS LIKE A JATTO TAKE OFF ASSIST.

Really? I tried to find it in my bird book and I thought that what it was. Ok, Mountain Bluebird it is.
It sure is beautiful!

Great picture. Very beautiful. I am 90% sure it's a mountain bluebird due to the deep blue color and small beak and the apparent body size in the picture. Pinyon jays are much more a grey blue with a larger beak and are about 75% larger than bluebirds and are kind of short-tailed often with a light mottling/striping on the upper breast under the beak. I in no way am an expert though and did not mean to be disruptive to your excellent picture.Really? I tried to find it in my bird book and I thought that what it was. Ok, Mountain Bluebird it is.

No disruption at all, just naturalists talk.
This is the same bird, maybe it's better to tell what it is from this picture?
