The lake consists of a large body of open water, a belt of tall yellow grass (where a big orange cat can blend and disappear if it chooses so) and, all around it, thick forests of predominantly teak, interspersed with thickets of bamboo. As our Gypsy comes to a halt, one Oriental Honey Buzzard is investigating the new arrivals.

If it doesn’t find enough to eat, it might become too tired to watch for predators and be snatched up by a domestic cat or any number of animals that are always watching, eternally waiting for an easy lunch. Bay-breasted Warblers have to be careful.

New Zealand was once home to Haast’s Eagle , the largest eagle in the world. It isn’t actually known if Haast’s Eagle ate people, but considering its prey was human sized giant birds it hardly seems unreasonable conjecture to state they probably at least made spirited attempts to do so.

Just stepping away from the birds for a minute, because you can’t really do any kind of story about Kruger National Park, and not at least mention the animals. The best I could do to mix both the birds and the animals was in the picture at the top of this story. The African Fish Eagle was a great first day bird.

Black Kites , Whistling Kites , Brahminy Kites and White-bellied Sea-Eagles are soon chased off if they fly along the coast in the vicinity of the nest and the Pied Oystercatcher returns to the eggs. The animal walks from nest to nest and it is clear that the nest had been there some time by the number of footprints.

A branch of Palm Beach County's Animal Care & Control that has been closed for a long, long time and has reopened. The cats are getting harder to trap, and I think even if I finally were able to get the spay RV from up north I don't see how I could trap 30 cats in a day at this point no matter how many people volunteer to help.

They are a commensal species, meaning that they are a wild animal that lives in close association with humans, not as a pet or as a farm animal but more like a parasite, to the extent that it is hard to find them in truely wild settings, and it is hard to find human settlements without them.

Big Tom was the guest most anxious to leave my humble abode and was returned this morning, to a ghost town of a colony, with few cats in sight. As for the eagle's nest, I think all of the people who surround the nest each morning are mistaken. Duffy cannot be in a home with a cat.

Once we’ve established that it’s a Golden Eagle, I ask the ten-million dollar question. Somebody shot an eagle?” The outdoor cat owner who brings a rehabber a shredded songbird may learn not to let their cat out. The kids’ eyes widen. Hands raise and wave.
