A male Anna’s hummingbird shows off his iridescent gorget. His throat feathers can look brownish black or bright purple depending on the angle of the reflecting light.

A bobcat takes a rest after gopher hunting in the Marin Headlands.

I watched this cat hunt for a while in the tall grass and eat three gophers in a row. After that, he needed a rest. Usually they rest in the tall grass as well, making them virtually invisible, but for some reason this one chose an open spot right across from where I was sitting to relax and perhaps keep an eye on me.

Hunting coyotes do a lot of listening. When they hear the rustling of a gopher near the entrance of its hole, they hang back, look and listen until the gopher peeks out. This is when the coyote pounces.
