While hiking in the early morning near Morro Bay we spied a male California Quail in perfect light perched on an old dead branch. He cooperated very nicely for his portrait.

We were absolutely captivated by how this particular fox kit was always near its mom. It was continually affectionate and loving towards her.

While hiking through pastures and small groves of trees in Point Reyes National Seashore we heard the plaintive call of an owlet to its parent. We followed the calls until we spotted this juvenile Great-horned owl in an old dead tree. We photographed and observed from a respectable distance and were surprised when a Cooper's Hawk flew overhead. Immediately the Great-horned adopted a defensive mantling posture until the perceived threat few away.
