'Tierische Begegnungen' #FotoVorschlag
'animal(ic) encounter'

I wasn't sure if I have a good or funny one to share with this topic. But I remembered visiting a wildlife park nearby at an autumn day.
It was a beautiful stroll through the park, watching the wildlife there when this situation came to be. Unplanned, just by pure luck.

And well.. I think it was worth sharing with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Enjoy your Friday!

#photography #nature #wildlife #autumn

A magical autumnal scene unfolds in this serene forest setting. The forest floor is carpeted with a thick layer of golden and orange leaves, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Sunlight filters through the tall trees, casting a soft, golden glow that illuminates the scene and highlights the vibrant colors of the foliage. In the center of the image, a majestic animal with large, curved horns stands gracefully amidst the fallen leaves. Its presence adds a sense of tranquility and natural beauty to the scene, harmonizing perfectly with the peaceful forest environment. The trees, with their tall trunks and sprawling branches, create a natural canopy overhead, adding depth and a sense of serenity to the image. The overall mood is one of calm and quiet reflection, capturing the ethereal beauty of an autumn forest. The image beautifully conveys the subtle elegance and tranquility of nature during the fall season.

Caribou in the tundra near Stony Hill in Denali National Park in early September.

A bull caribou stands in profile in colorful autumn tundra near Stony Hill in Denali National Park. The caribou faces left, its brown body and lighter neck contrasting with the landscape. Its antlers are fully grown, branching upward and outward with multiple tines. The surrounding tundra is dense with low shrubs in peak fall color, including bright yellow, orange, and deep red vegetation stretching across rolling ground. The animal stands partially framed by knee-high shrubs, with no trees visible.

Whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo whoo, did someone say it's Superb Owl Sunday again! 🦉

Go Owls!

Strix nebulosa (Great Gray Owl). (Best Latin name in the business, don't you think?)

Grays are so cool! They can focus sound with their large "ruff" (facial disk) to hear prey under as much as 60cm (2ft) of snow. Grays will hover over deep snow while listening & then snow plunge to catch their prey! Grays are certainly Superb Owls!

Kuu kiurusta kesään?! No, ehkä se ei päde tunturikiurun tapauksessa.

Archeology Southwest article: More than a Pet: Exploring Canine Cultural Histories in North America, "Throw a stick for a dog, & chances are the dog will excitedly wag its tail, charge off at a gallop, & return with the stick in its mouth. Throw a stick for a wolf, & it will look at you quizzically before trotting off to do wolf things. How the latter ever became the former is a subject of much contemplation."

Hm, wolf things? 🤔

(Photo mine.)

Say, "Hi!" to Rocky the rock rabbit!
Ochotona princeps (American pika).

Pika are so cool. And they like it cool. Sadly, climate change is causing them to climb ever higher up their mountains, & in some areas, the mountains are no longer high enough. Pika don't hibernate. They live in their little caves under talus & scree, munch on the haystacks they built over the summer, beneath tons of snow. And they make the cutest call, "Eeeep!"

A male Centrocercus urophasianus (greater sage-grouse) at dawn trying to attract a female at a mating lek. They are known for filling giant air sacks in their chests and letting out a low thumping noise. They also strut around while doing the thumping call / display. It's kind of cute, in a strange way. They are extremely sensitive birds and you can't get very close without spooking them. This photo is cropped way in.
