Precious Offspring U8A8472 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: A week doesn't seem like much time but it's amazing how much a young deer grows and accomplishes in such a short time. Still, a little fawn spends much of the day alone and in hiding until it has grown enough to keep up with the other deer. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to see them grow and I am humbled that their mothers feel that our yards are safe havens for their precious offspring.

Much Maligned U8A9908 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: The much-maligned coyote is still persecuted and hunted unmercifully. This beautiful girl spends her day along the Madison River, doing what coyotes do best… hunting for prey. We first encountered her finishing off what looked like a duck. Within 10 minutes she had located and successfully predated an ermine. For now, she is safe within the park’s borders. Her fate is far less certain outside the national park borders.

Glimmer 3I0400 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: The warm sun lights up the fur of her back and the tips of her ears with an auburn glow. She has just captured a Coho salmon and turns, with a glimmer in her eye, to make certain she is not being pursued for her prize. Her long claws glimmer too, like those of a high fashion model after a manicure. Nature’s beauty is here for those who take the time to appreciate and safeguard it. #BrownBears

All Legs 38W9508 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: One doesn’t have to look hard to see the love between a dam and her foal. This colt is likely no more than a day or so old. He is still a bit wobbly but horses stand within minutes of birth. They have to in order to nurse, and they must nurse in order to survive. They usually begin trying to run within a day and this little guy is no exception. You can see from his stature, he is all legs. The legs of horses at birth are proportionately large compared to adults. The reasons for this are clear. #WildHorses

What's a Mother to do? 0268 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Like most bear cubs, polar bear cubs are not infrequently rambunctious and fidgety. Finding just the right spot to sleep, nurse, or do just about anything isn't done with precision and planning. It's all about fulfilling a need and finding comfort. To that end, mother bear is patient beyond belief, and like so many mothers of so many species, she even seems to enjoy their activity. What's a mother to do? Just sit back, smile, and know they love you! #PolarBears I've been trying to share a video to Flickr without success. Here is the link on Youtube for those who are interested. youtu.be/LDVO8SCIjO8

Mother and Child 3I8476 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: There is nothing more tender than the bond between mother and child. The phenomenon isn't species specific. The moments may be brief and fleeting but they are there for those who choose to watch and wait. On their meandering path across the open plain, this young filly is comforted by a gentle nudge with mom. Though young horses in captivity will usually be weaned by 6 months, wild horses will sometime nurse up until about one year. This intensifies the bond between mother and child. #WildHorses

Glass Houses 075A0101 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: They say that “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” I imagine the old adage doesn’t really apply to bears. For this young female brown bear seems to delight in the activity whenever she enters a stream. I was photographing coastal brown bears on the Cook Inlet as I have done for over a decade. I have seen bears play with sticks, stones, and shells before, but not as avidly and repeatedly as this young female. At times she would simply drop the stone. Other times she would let it roll off the back of her massive paw and down her leg. At times, however, she launches the stone like the forward on a basketball team. Having the opportunity to see these bears enjoying themselves is something I have grown to love. Their lives are much more multifaceted and complex than many believe. They aren’t simply the eating machines that some would have us believe.

Docile Stranger U8A5987 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: I had the opportunity to spend some time with this docile stranger. A 4 foot pine snake in encountered on my travels. They are a rare find here in Southern NJ and considered a threatened species in this state. I found it trying to cross the road in oncoming traffic. One would think that this would be easy for a snake but they take an average of about 2 minutes to cross a two lane paved road. They are constrictors that can climb trees easily taking advantage of the rough surface of the tree bark, but the smooth surface of the road does not allow them to gain much traction. They spend a lot of time slithering "in place" while tryin to cross the road. Thankfully, I got to this one before the 4 oncoming vehicles did. This area of southern New Jersey is hot spot for these beauties that can grow up to 6 feet in length. The nearest colonies are in North Carolina.

New Kid in Town... 6952 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Spring is a favorite time of year but not because of its weather. I cherish the flurry of animal activity that characterizes the season. Most of all, I love the new lives coming into existence and watching them make their way through life. Yesterday’s new kid in town chose a neighbor’s garden to make her debut. Mom knows she is safe there while she goes out to forage. The evening light was beautiful filtering through the grass and the little fawn’s ears.

Live Long and Prosper U8A3682 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: I love finding little things that make my day. This Eastern Box Turtle hatchling certainly falls into that category. At about one inch in size, it's a little more than a gulp for many predatory animals. With luck, however, these turtles can live to be as old as many humans. And this little one will likely see years long beyond mine.

A Splash of Color U8A3501 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: I have had Baltimore Orioles stay throughout the winter. Such was not the case this past year. Today, however, my feeders have been bestowed with bright sunny colors we are so lacking this weekend. What is likely a mated pair has been showing up every few minutes or so. A rare solo male has also shown up and caused a bit of a raucous when he does. They clearly don't like sharing the space.

Graceful and Slender6U8A4517 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: The Black-necked stilt is one of my favorite waders. It’s a tall, slender bird with graceful flight that inhabits wetlands. A recent, short trip to Peaceful Waters played out with the usual cast of characters but the light and low angle on this bird made it an opportunity I did not want to pass up. The low angle and dark vegetation behind the bird accentuates the graceful, slender profile of this agile little bird.

Where Kings are King 6U8A5176 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: The glow of a rising sun bathes a King Penguin in an auburn aura. Having just waddled out of the ocean, the bird stretches and shakes the glistening drops of brine from its feathers. It’s the start of a new day on Volunteer Beach in the Falklands where King Penguins reign.
