Toucan On a Limb

The bill of this Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan makes up one-third of the bird’s length. Toucans, like this bird from Costa Rica, cut off fruit and pods with their saw-edged bills and then toss their heads back before swallowing.

Rough-Legged Hawk II

Rough-Legged Hawks can often be seen near the Jackson Hole Elk Refuge sitting on fence posts and perch hunting. They scan the empty spaces by the roadside looking for voles, mice, and other prey. And then, they pounce!

Straight On

The melodious sound of a Barred Owl hooting is ubiquitous in Southern Swamps. Barred Owls prefer to nest in deep woods with big trees like the Spanish Moss covered giants that surround Lake Martin in Louisiana.

Miles To Go

For over a thousand years, Sandhill and some Whooping Cranes have followed an ancient migration path called the Central Flyway. This hour-glass-shaped fly route stretches from South America to the Arctic regions of North America. Happily for the exhausted Cranes, the flyway bottlenecks in Nebraska’s Platte River Valley where there are plenty of open corn fields and resting spots in and near the Platte River.

Mediterranean Sea Horses

For generations, Camargue horses have adapted and thrived in the coastal marshes and coastlines of the French Mediterranean.

Observer B+W

The Spectacled Owl is a resident breeder in Costa Rica and other rainforests in the neotropics. They are not easily seen because they
hide in the dense foliage of the rainforest when they nest or hunt.
