M had the same attitude toward whip-poor-will. When she was a kid one would set up outside her bedroom at night and "whip, whip, whip" for three to five hours. I experience that a few times when visiting her parents early in our marriage. You cannot imagine how at 2 or 3AM you get an intense craving for whip-poor-will stew.

This bird is not known for singing, yet there are some who don't welcome its company.

American Alligator, big enough to start being significantly dangerous. Scan

Ended up at a beach on the California coast yesterday after touring Hearst Castle. What a sight!

You are blessed Charlie! the 2nd last one is a sighting of a lifetime!

Another of those rogue Cheetah brothers that inhabited Addo Elephant National Park for a while.

I think M & I were on that same beach sometime in the 90's. I know I have chromes of elephant seals hauled out, but there were only a handful when we were there.

Our decidedly more bland version.

Here's a bird that excites tourists on their first safari outing, then ignore on their last.

Once you discover their intelligence that will change, or get them at their nesting hole, with the female "locked in" that changes to more excitement.

Another of that Great Snipe from Pilansberg National Park

Cape Sparrow giving itself a scratch, leg over wing.
