Nature Unlimited, 17 May 2024


Recommended Posts

This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum

Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Many members will appreciate any information you are willing or able to provide regarding location, shooting process, exposure settings, equipment, and information on the subject(s), including scientific and/or common names.

I'm starting this week's thread a day early as I will be away from my computer tomorrow.

Back on the April 15 Monday in Nature thread, I posted another image of this Galapagos Hawk on a tree, and the legs were obscured. Later on the hawk found this dead fish on the beach, and I noticed that the legs were heavily banded.

Hi Bill what will you do with yourself once the owls are gone? It's been fun to follow their nesting progress, thanks.

Hi Roger....One owlet fledged Tuesday Night, and the one that is still in nest will fledge in next day or so.  Parent will then spend a couple of months teaching them to hunt, and teaching them to fly.  We partnered with Cornell Lab for the first time this year to install a Live Owl Cam.
