I viewed them at dusk, through a telescope, from a ridge overlooking the area they were hunting. This northern fox really does look red, unlike the pale, sandy-coloured animals I saw in Georgia in 2019 ( below ). I’ve yet to see an English pine marten, but I once watched one hunting red squirrels in the Bialowieza Forest in Poland.

The Ruffed Grouse is a bird of the forests across much of North America, from Alaska and the mountains of the west through Canada, and in the east down through the Appalachians to Georgia. It is a beautiful bird and well worth taking examining closely if such a situation can somehow be arranged.

Frigatebirds are known for their piracy, but they actually get most of their food from hunting flying fish far out to sea, a fact determined by studies utilizing GPS trackers, heart-rate monitors, and accelerometers, all attached to the bird. A little disappointing–no parties, no shopping, no love affairs.

Over the winter, the universe lost four whooping cranes to what appears to be recreational shooting: three gunned down together in Georgia on December 30, 2010, and another in Alabama on January 28, 2011. More states will doubtless join the queue of those proposing hunts. It gives one to wonder why this designation was made.

I have a strong hunting instinct, and digiscoping gave me the satisfaction of bagging my quarry. Hoopoe and barbed wire, photographed in Georgia with an Olympus EM-1 and 75-300mm lens DT birdwatching in Andalucia. It was fun to come home from a day in the field to load my photographs on to my lap top, and later my iPad.
