Some great shots Kerry!
Last night I got to watch a pair of coyotes stalk through the northern section of Cuyamaca, and though the sun had set, I kept watching them move over the rocks near a watering hole. The male sat on a rock and I decided that instead of pushing the ISO further, I'd see how long he'd stay stationary.
1DX 600F/4 II w/1.4 III .5S : f/5.6 : ISO 2500 27 minutes after 'official' sunset in the mountains.

Hi ERHP.
Nice shot, good call on going long, he did sit still didn't he, doesn't even appear to have moved his ears.
Cheers, Graham.

Three of these guys visited my bird feeder tonight. I shot a few pictures of one of them. Cute creatures. Interesting to watch them. Fun antics of these little guys.
Using 100mm f/2.8 II L, with speed light. The front of the lens was less than 3 feet from the flying squirrel.
First two photos nearly full size, last is cropped to maybe 60%.

I read today that "Cecil", an absolutely Beautiful Animal, was recently Shot by a "Hunter" just outside Hwange Park in Zimbabwe.
The attached Image (not one of my Best unfortunately) was one I managed in 2011 inside Hwange National Park, I think Cecil was around 9 Years Old at the time, had 3 Female Prides he attended to, he was also just getting over a muzzle beating from a pair of Brothers that had invaded his territory (which he won), and He is still one of the 3 most Beautiful Male Lions I have had the privilege to Photograph in the last 20 years.
The "Hunter" used a Bow to Kill the Animal, it apparently took 40 Hours to finally track the wounded Animal down & shoot him.
For anyone that might be interested to know the story, Google "Cecil killed by Hunter", it's a damn sad tale.
I'm 65 now, I still find things like this simply leave me almost in tears, what an end to such a magnificent Animal.

I read it a few days ago and was shocked that it happened. Very sad that hunting is still around.
Respect animals.
