Shooting Bluejays

"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” ~Harper Lee

Saw a post of this shot from Where Is Everybody?, the first episode of The Twilight Zone, but it was split into multiple GIFs, which I think ruined the effect a little

Proboscis Bat Rhynchonycteris naso

It is found from southern Mexico to Belize, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as in Trinidad. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: most of them line up, one after another, on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row.

In the photo, the two bats on the lower left are carrying young.

Two European hares/fältharar doing their very best to become invisible among the vegetation, ears folded back and bodies held perfectly still. Their opinion of my presence was communicated with admirable clarity. I took a couple of quick photographs and then quickly left them in peace. Marttila, Finland (24 May 2026).

A rarely seen, highly endangered Andean mountain cat and her kitten in Santiago, Chile. Bottom right: older kittens following their mother through the snow. These small felines have long, thickly ringed tails and plush coats with a striking marbled pattern, handy for traversing the chilly, wind-swept ridges of the Andes.

One of South America's rarest felines, the Andean mountain cat is traditionally considered a sacred animal by indigenous Aymara and Quechua people.
