#WildHorseWednesday! 'Stallion school' on the north Onaqui range. The young grullo, Cooper, is getting a lesson from band stallion, Clorox. Sparring keeps the skills sharp for the older stallion and teaches the younger one skills he will need to win and keep his own band one day.
Yellowhammer (Goldammer) relaxing in the sun. Always difficult to tell our yellow birds apart from one another unless they stay still or sing — luckily, this one did both! (Enger, Germany)
Spring bunnies are a delight, so cute and so many of them this year, great to see their numbers going up at least.
Did you know there are estimated to be fewer than 700,000 wild rabbits left in Scotland due to the recent RHDV outbreak 🙁🐇
The Western Ground Parrot is an endangered species endemic to Western Australia. This illustration was created for the @wildlifewednesdaychallenge that aims to raise awareness of endangered birds and animals. #MastoArt#art#CreativeToots#illustration#birds#wildlife
We were driving on a back road into town when we saw four vultures perched on a fence. I had the "wrong" lens for a great capture, but I love the essence of this one as he took off towards the trees. I think vultures are very cool birds.
A frightening virus is killing a massive number of wild birds.
Vox reports: "The ongoing outbreak of avian flu has killed hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of wild birds, including endangered species like the California condor. It’s one of the worst wildlife disease outbreaks in history."
#MustangMonday! Sorry that I have been absent from here lately, but I have been in the west desert making new #Wildhorse#Art! Spring on the desert brings new grasses but there is still snow on the mountains. These three mares are from Chic's band in the north Onaqui herd and they are enjoying the new grass as they move to the waterhole.
