You are beginning with a false premise "The irrigation canal has no fish or crawdads in it, because its only full for a short time." Abstract.—Irrigation canals can be a major source of mortality ...
Epaulet skimmer, a kind of dragonfly, in Ein Gedi, Israel, July 2019.
Spring to fall is the breeding season. While they can have a litter every 28 days. The best research I am finding suggests they have 3 to 5 litters per year, with 1 to 8 kits (babies). By some est...
Diogmites on Manzanita 25 Jul 2005, Tonto National Forest, Arizona. I was hiking the Highline Trail below the Mogollon Rim when I came to an area with a lot of manzanita, just west of Horton Sprin...

One more even though I'm late. I took this picture at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago in September 2019 using a ZTE Axon 7 cell phone.
Oops, I forgot about this, so even though it's now August I'll share. I took this picture at the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium in October 2015 using my then-current cell phone.

Non-expert guess here, but I think that's some type of robber fly. Those are predatory flys, generally have the shape you show, and are rather large for flys. There are many species. Even expert...

Birds with young regularly clean their nest by removing droppings and usually deposit the results some distance away, presumably to avoid making the nest site too obvious to predators. Nestlings o...
A few nights ago I saw some minks in the grass right next to a seasonal irrigation canal that is dry most of the year shortly after dark. The irrigation canal has no fish or crawdads in it, because...
As the summer goes on, the cottontail rabbits are getting bigger and at the same time I am seeing fewer of them, presumably as predators whittle their numbers down. What percentage of baby cottonta...
Firstly, make sure there isn't an underlying issue that makes the horse want to avoid that kind of work. Discomfort from badly-fitted tack, an undiagnosed injury, or a poor/unstimulating routine ...

Wag bags are used in areas where human waste has to be carried out. How many wag bags should a group pack per day given that plenty of people will try to avoid pooping in the outdoors and that numb...
Balance... A vest for a limited amount of stuff, is a quick easy replacement for Combining a Frontpack with a Backpack while hiking
This took a while, but I promised, I'd come back to this. And here I am. It should be fixed now (once the change has been deployed).
A backpack bounces around too much when running. You need something tight-fitting and light. A vest with a few pockets is a lot better at that than a pack.
I keep seeing trail runners who instead of a small light backpack, have a running vest with small front pockets and then one on the back. What is the advantage of a running vest over a small backpa...

This weekend I was sitting next to a pond and multiple times there was a crow who had something white in his mouth flying down from a tree to within several feet of the pond's surface, drop the whi...
I would definitely say that the Akita has the capacity to be a hunting dog. For clarity, there are two main variants of the Akita; in the US, they are lumped together as just the Akita, but in coun...
