Life of Riley
19. February 2012 by David.
I’m sure living at the zoo isn’t the greatest life.
When I took this photograph this kangaroo didn’t seem to mind. I walked around quite a bit and I don’t think this kangaroo moved a single inch or muscle.

Sun Worshipper
18. February 2012 by David.
What does a seal do in the dead of winter.
Sun themselves on the unseasonably warm February day. This fellow is going to have a new much larger home this summer. Maybe he was dreaming about that.

Hawk
16. February 2012 by Friedhelm.
I took my usual walk with my dog around Rahilly Park in Merced when I saw this hawk sitting in a tree. Luckily, this day I took my heavy 100-400mm lens with me so I was able to photograph this wonderful bird which was observing us closely. The hawk gave me all the time I needed to adjust the camera setting and posed for this shot.
Enjoy and have your gear ready at all times!

Another Show-off
11. February 2012 by David.
Many of the animals at the zoo where somewhat shy, not this one.
Just like people some animals like all the attention and some don’t. I think most of the ones in the zoo just tolerated people because they had to.

Buy a Zebra
5. February 2012 by David.
If you like lines in your photos like I do the answer is to buy a Zebra.
Or at least visit them at the zoo.
The problem with animals is they move. The other problem is they don’t. I had to be very patient with this zebra as it walked around finally getting the right angle and a bonus of the lined shadows as a background.

Ready, Mr. Deville
3. February 2012 by David.
Went to Fresno’s Chaffee Zoo last weekend. Took a few animal portraits.
I think this little fellow likes to have his picture taken. When I first walked up he was in the water. He got out and walked along this log just a few feet away from me. Then he stopped and raised one leg, interesting action. He has a wonderful crown but didn’t seem to want to show it when I was ready to shoot. Oh well.

Let’s Get Outa Here
2. December 2011 by David.
There’s nothing quite like being near a flock of geese when they take off.
I was lucky, these Ross Geese gave me enough time to get out of my car and I had my very clear telephoto lens (thank you Tamron) already on the camera. When they take off they squawk a lot. I can understand why they make great watch “dogs”.Later while on the other side of the Merced Wildlife Refuge I heard them again and wished I was closer.

Great Blue Heron
20. November 2011 by David.
Here’s another patient bird from the Wildlife Refuge.
I think the birds were a little slow waking up that morning. Usually you have to be very slow and careful as they are quick to take flight. Of course once they wake up it’s back to stealth mode, if you have the patience.

Great Egret
19. November 2011 by David.
Last weekend I went to the Merced Wildlife Refuge looking for some foggy landscape shots.
Instead I found clear skies, great light and some cooperative birds. This is a Great Egret (thanks Wanda) one of the species that nests year round. This time of year there are Sandhill Cranes, Ross Snow Geese, Canadian Geese, some ducks and many other species including pheasant.

Birds on Wire
10. November 2011 by Friedhelm.
While my car was in the shop I walked around downtown Merced to hunt for some images. I discovered the birds gathering together for their big journey and I took a few shot.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
