Trudging through the wilds of the botanical gardens I looked up to see
the beady eyes of this viscious predator ready to fly out and savage
me. Only the nearly instinctual lifting of the camera to my eye served
to keep him at bay:

Nanook of the desert!

Oh the horror! They were everywhere. Everywhere I tell you. I will
never forget the sound of their beating wings, the shadows as they
passed overhead, and then the screams....

Phoenix, AZ

What you might think is a really terrible bokah comes from fine
netting in the background.

Screams? Of delight as a class of grade-school children entered.
