Let me start by saying yes, I'm exaggerating with that title; I wouldn't be hiking regardless of the mountain lions. In case you need a reason to stay inside this weekend, here's an "Oh Crap" moment you have to see to believe.
I just hope this gentleman wore his brown pants on that hike...
A flock of birds landed several times in fields on Friday morning near Grand View Drive. I was lucky enough to have my camera with me at the time, and was able to snap a few photos of the black birds.
Hawks look beautiful, and are fun to watch as long. Unless, you are in their space.
If you have ever been on a walk, run or bike ride on a Magic Valley country road, and seen a hawk, you may think they are fun to watch until you get in their space.
I know, I know. Everyone has a post about a video that you just "have got to watch."
But trust me on this one. You won't regret taking the time to watch this time lapse video of mother nature in action. It was shot and edited by Randy Halverson from April - November 2013 in South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming...
This is another reason why I love technology so much. How often to we get to witness, first-hand, a pelican learning to fly. A crew in Mahale in Tanzania rescued a pelican who was abandoned by its parents following a storm.
The attached a GoPro camera to its beak and documented its first successful attempt at flight...
When I saw this, my jaw dropped. I knew eagles were big and capable of taking down large game but it's just something I've never quite pictured in my head.
