One of the rarest and most impressive birds of prey in the world has been spotted in Windsor, N.S.
The Steller's sea eagle, which is native to eastern Russia, seems to be making a tour of North America, having previously been spotted in Alaska, Texas, New Brunswick and Quebec.
Phil Taylor, a biology professor at Acadia University, was the first person to spot the bird in Nova Scotia.

Viens no retākajiem un iespaidīgākajiem plēsīgajiem putniem pasaulē ir pamanīts Vindzorā, N.S.
Šķiet, ka Stellera jūras ērglis, kura dzimtene ir Krievijas austrumi, dodas ceļojumā pa Ziemeļameriku, jo iepriekš tas bija pamanīts Aļaskā, Teksasā, Ņūbransvikā un Kvebekā.
Fils Teilors, Akadijas universitātes bioloģijas profesors, bija pirmais cilvēks, kurš pamanīja putnu Jaunskotijā.
Atšķirīgs izskats ar milzu dzeltenu knābi, lieliem baltiem plankumiem uz spārniem un lielu baltu asti un nav zināms, vai putns ir tēviņš vai mātīte, taču tas ir pieaugušais un ir lielāks par apkārtnē biežāk sastopamajiem ērgļiem.

Fantastiskas draudzības stāsts starp pelēko vilku mātīti un brūnā lāča tēviņu,
ko izdevies pieredzēt somu fotogrāfam Lassi Rautiainen 10 dienu garumā.

Unusual Friendship Between Wolf And Bear Documented By Finnish Photographer
https://www.sonyaz.net/foto-galeri/unus ... 53/resim/5
Nature photographers will often come across some rather eyebrow-raising things out in the wild. Nothing is a better example of this than what Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen managed to capture – a wild bear and wolf keeping a close friendship out in the wilderness.
It's very unusual to see a bear and a wolf getting on as this" Lassi explains, yet the female grey wolf and male brown bear seem to be getting on fine as evidenced by the photographs of them with one another. They were actually spotted together for a whopping ten days, where they would enjoy each other's company for quite some time, often between 8 pm and 4 am.
"It's very unusual to see a bear and a wolf getting on like this".Isnt it?
This unlikely pair was spotted by Finnish photographer Lassi Rautiainen.He photographed the female grey wolf and male brown bear every night for ten days straight.
"No one had observed bears and wolves living near each other and becoming friends in Europe".The two "friends" were even seen sharing food.
"No one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends"."I think that perhaps they were both alone when they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone".
"I came across these two and knew that it made the perfect story".
"It seems to me that they feel safe being together".

Baboons Caught On Camera Grooming Baby Lions In Kruger National Park
https://www.sonyaz.net/foto-galeri/babo ... 24/resim/4

The video seems too incredible to be accurate, but that’s what the safari operator, who witnessed the incredible scene, also thought. Luckily, he caught the moment on film in time. Otherwise, no one would have believed him. But indeed, a baboon taking care of and grooming a lion cub is hard to believe. However, it happened in South Africa’s Kruger Park.
It was early in the morning when Kurt Schultz – driving a safari vehicle full of tourists – came across a group of baboons. A ubiquitous sight for South Africa's largest game reserve, but soon he discovered something very unusual. One of the baboons, holding a lion cub in his arms. The scene intrigued Schultz, who had never seen anything like this for over 20 years since he was a safari guide.
Schultz explained: "I went to a very active area with lion sightings recently and came across a group of baboons that were really excited and playful, which is normal in the early mornings. "There was another vehicle seeing baboons, and it was said that there may be a lion cub among the baboon troop." The incredible sight that appeared surprised Schultz because baboons are highly aggressive, especially with leopards or lion cubs. So the safari operator initially thought the cub was lifeless, but he quickly realized he was wrong. Even more, the baboon was carrying, acting like the cub was its own baby.
"The baboon crossed the road and climbed the marula tree…then it was grooming and caring for the lion cub as if it were a young baboon," said Schultz. "The males groom a lot, but the care given… was like the care a female gives to one of her young. "Everything happened so fast. I was quite nervous because I knew no one would believe me if I didn't get the footage." While this scene is nothing but sweet and touching, it certainly won't have a happy ending. It seems that the lion cub did not survive because the pride of the lion will never be able to take it back. Either way, Schultz believes what happened was "100% natural".
"It was nature at its best," said Schultz. "That may seem cruel to us, but if this baboon [hunts down] a predator, he knows in two years his role will be reversed if the lion gets the chance."

Floridā kāda amatierfotogrāfe Laurie Wolf savas mājas pagalmā uzstādītajā būrī nofotografējusi Austrumkrasta pūčmammu (Eastern screech owl) un Koku pīles (Wood duck) mazuli. Pūcīte atradusi pīles izdētu olu un izperējusi to kā savu. Kad sieviete gribējusi izņemt pīlēnu, tas izlecis no būra un devies uz dīķi.

Owl Mistakes Duck Egg For Her Own And Raises It
https://www.sonyaz.net/foto-galeri/owl- ... 521/resim/
Animals are hilarious, kind, and intelligent at the same time, and sometimes, I believe they can outsmart and even out human us. Animals can be very loving and kind, the duo a Florida woman discovered in her backyard proves this. Laurie Wolf found an owl and a duckling living in her Jupiter, Florida backyard. A wildlife artist and amateur photographer, she took a picture of them and sent it to the National Geographic.
"The two of them were just sitting there side by side. It's not believable. It's not believable to me to this day." She first noticed the Eastern shriek owl that had taken up living arrangement inside a home box she has in her patio. Yet, about a month later, Wolf says she saw a cushioned thing in the crate with the owl, so she figured it was an infant owl that was settling with mother. The Eastern screech owl had decided to raise the duckling as its own. This little duck was a wood duck – wood ducks have been known to live with shriek owls."Both of them were simply staying there next to each other. It's not convincing. It's not convincing to me right up 'til the present time."
Yet, Laurie was worried about the owl's intentions and feared that it might eat the duckling.She contacted a local bird expert to ask if these fears were valid, and they confirmed there was a possibility. She then contacted a wildlife sanctuary to see if they could take the duckling, and they agreed.However, when Laurie and her husband went to the backyard to capture it, it hopped out of the box and headed to a pond. That was the last they saw of it.
Laurie says:
"I don't think I'll ever experience anything like that in my life again." While we cannot be sure that we understand the motivation of the duo, we want to see it from a positive perspective, that the owl was happy to adopt its unexpected delivery.Christian Artuso, the Manitoba director of Bird Studies Canada, explains that wood duck birds practice "brood parasitism."The phenomenon is apparently not that uncommon as wood duck birds are not fond of laying all their eggs in one place. They will often lay them in other bird's nests in the hope that some will hatch and that the genes will enter the next generation. Artuso said: 'It's not commonly documented, but it certainly happens.' He recalled an incident in 2007 when an owl incubated and hatched three wood duck chicks."You could think of it as not keeping all your eggs in one basket. If you spread your eggs out, then your chances of passing on your genes are increased slightly, especially if you lose your own eggs to a predator."
Artuso says it's impossible to know what a wild owl is thinking, but that it could be a case of what scientists call supernormal stimuli. He believes that female owls react with their mother's instinct to nurture the egg instead of wondering where it came from."The parents might be thinking, 'Oh my god! This egg is huge!" We're going to have the best baby in the world!'" He continued:"We realize this happens, however, we truly don't have the foggiest idea about the recurrence. So I was glad to see another case of this."Artuso thinks the Florida duckling may have survived:"Wood duck chicks are precocial, which means they are pretty independent of the get-go. There are also many documented cases of chicks from one brood joining up with those from another brood."

Vientulību izjūt ne tikai cilvēki. Aizkustinošs stāsts
Attēlā divi pingvīni apskaujas. Viņi ir pavērsti prom no kameras un skatās uz Melburnas panorāmu Austrālijā.
Baltais pingvīns labajā pusē esot vecāks un partneris viņu bija pametis. Jaunākais pingvīns kreisajā pusē arī nesen esot zaudējis savu dzīvesbiedru. Ar to stāsts nebeidzas. Acīmredzot abi pēc tam regulāri satiekas, būdami viens otram mierinājums. Pingvīni apskāvušies stāv stundām ilgi, skatoties uz otrā krastā pilsētas dejojošajām gaismām.
Dažas dienas vēlāk viņš vēl vienu nofotografēja un sniedza vēl vienu stāstu par divu pingvīnu apskāvieniem. Viņš teica, ka aina ir unikāla visā kolonijā. Visi pārējie pingvīni skraidīja vai gulēja, bet šie abi vienkārši stāvēja viens pie otra un pavadīja stundas, iespējams, sarunājoties savā pingvīnu valodā. Skumjas bija iemesls, kāpēc viņi apvienojās. Mīlestība dažreiz ir atrodama visnegaidītākajās vietās.

12 aizraujoši putnu uzvedības piemēri / 12 Fascinating Bird Behaviors ... Diemžēl aprakstā tikai 11 !
https://www.audubon.org/news/12-fascina ... GTxpRZEykU

1.Romantika visu gadu
Ziemeļu kardināliem / Northern Cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) ir ilgstošas pāru saites. Pāra locekļi parasti uzturas kopā visos gadalaikos neatkarīgi no tā, vai viņi pievienojas migrējošajiem bariem ziemā vai paliek savās vairošanās teritorijās. It kā vēlreiz apliecinot savu apņemšanos, viņi veic dažādus uzmanības rituālus jebkurā laikā no ziemas beigām līdz vasaras vidum, izrādoties viens otram. Tēviņš bieži baro mātīti, piedāvājot tai sēklas vai sulīgus kukaiņus. Nav skaidrs, ko dara fotoattēlā redzamais pāris, taču tas, iespējams, ietver kādu putnu romantikas versiju.

[Lianaliesma]

2. Celtniecības materiāli
Dzeltenais ķauķis / American yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia).
Putni mijiedarbojas ar zirnekļiem dažādos veidos. Lielākā daļa putnu, kas ēd kukaiņus, arī ēd šos zirnekļveidīgos, kad vien ir iespēja, un daži lieli tropu zirnekļi ēdot putnus. Bet zirnekļa tīklu unikālās īpašības paver vairāk iespēju; daudzi mazi putni savāc tīklu gabaliņus, ko pievienot savām ligzdām. Dziedošie putni, piemēram, šī dzeltenā ķauķa mātīte, bieži pārklāj zirnekļa tīklus pāri ligzdas ārpusei un zariem, kas to atbalsta, palīdzot to nostiprināt vietā.

[Lianaliesma]

3. Kaimiņu strīds
Sarkanspārnu strazdi / Red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus)
Lielākajā daļā putnu sugu tēviņi lielāko daļu ligzdošanas teritorijas aizsargā, un sarkanspārnu strazdu tēviņi šo uzvedību pielieto galējībās. Viņi dzenā pat lielākus putnus, tādus kā vanagi vai gārņi, kas lido pāri, un enerģiski aizstāv savas teritorijas robežas pret konkurējošiem tēviņiem. Teritoriālie kaimiņi parasti cīnās, dziedot viens uz otru, bet dažreiz viņi satriecas, cīnās gaisā un turpina cīņu pēc tam, kad nokrīt zemē vai ūdenī.

[Lianaliesma]

4. Būrīšu kari
Koku bezdelīga / Tree swallow (Tachycineta bicolor) un Austrumu zilputniņš / Eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis)
Zilputniņu popularitāte ir bijusi neveiksmīga koku bezdelīgām, jo abi izmanto vienāda izmēra būrīšus. Tā kā piemērotu ligzdu vietu parasti trūkst, var būt intensīva konkurence. Rūpīgi mājsaimnieki bieži samazina strīdus starp zilputniņiem un bezdelīgām, izvietojot divus vienādus būrīšus apmēram 10 pēdu attālumā viens no otra. Ja zilputniņi aizņems vienu, tie aizdzīs visus pārējos zilputnus, un, ja bezdelīgas aizņems otru, tās aizdzīs visas pārējās bezdelīgas, atstājot vienu pāri, lai mierīgi ligzdo.

[Lianaliesma]

5. Tas tik ir stiepiens!
Amerikas avozeta / American avocet (Recurvirostra americana)
Bridējputni, piemēram, avozetas, veic daudzas stiepšanās kustības, šķiet, tikai komforta nolūkos, piemēram, izstiepj vienu kāju atpakaļ, vai vienu spārnu. Bet, kad amerikāņu avozeta izstiepj abus spārnus uz augšu virs muguras, dažkārt tā var būt “nodomu kustība”, kas liecina, ka tas gatavojas lidot. Avozetas bieži veic šo divu spārnu izstiepšanu, kad tās tiek traucētas vai pamostas no snaudas, vai dažreiz bez redzama iemesla.
