This image shows a female bird grasping a branch of an acacia tree to pull the branch to her mouth. She will clip the branch from the tree then while holding the branch in one claw, she will eat the seeds from the pods.

A silver gull focused intently on a dragonfly. The gull is floating on the surface and with the dragonfly not too far from the beak. The gull is hunched down getting ready to pounce.

A welcome swallow leaves a branch to go after an insect. The back ground is a nice golden color and the branch is grey and quite dead. There are small branches in the background behind the swallow.

A black and white photo of a Raven in a tree. The tree is dead so you see the bones of the tree reaching out from the lower left corner of the frame. The raven with head bowed is looking down at something in the water.
