Saw a lot of animals eating other animals yesterday. Monsoon season is good eating for everyone who doesn't get eaten. This roadrunner was carrying off the lizard instead of eating, so perhaps headed back to nest?
What lurks beneath? Frogs.
Check out the second pic for a look at a fascinating adaptation. You can see the frog's skin is muddy brown anywhere it's submerged and waterweed green anywhere above the surface. The crazy thing is this changes, wherever he goes.

Edit: After an extensive debate between some world class bird nerds (nirds) this has been declared an immature goshawk! He was making a lot of noise and acting very traumatized over being attacked and chased by his lunch's family.

It was impossible to keep the lens clean while taking this photo. 3500 cubic feet per second of muddy water dropping 180 feet puts a LOT of spray in the air. The crazy thing is it could be dry next week.

A pair of ants farming aphids. In exchange for the protection of the ants, the aphids secrete a sweet nectar for the ants. Dozens of tiny green aphids feed under the watchful eyes of this pair.

Technically, a kestrel, but whatever.
