Yes, but peacocks are kinda cocky and don't listen. Maybe that's how they got their name? I can think of only one other reason . . ... never mind!

Yea...I don't get out to shoot wildlife of any kind very often...generally there is some pretty crazy wild life late night on Friday nights in the general area of my keg, but that doesn't result in many photos (for many reasons)!
I do hope to be shooting more wildlife over the coming months though...

Do these have to have been taken this week? Or could they have been taken months ago?
They could be from any time Alden
Excellent question Nikonian. My sea gull, above, was taken a few years ago. What should be the time parameters be Daniel?
I think no time restrictions
MEAN PIGEON - Sorry for the late entry but this all I can get and will have to be my submission of the week unless I see something different today. Pigeon in one of the mall parking lots in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Note: There is no time restrictions for photos being submitted. You can go as far back as you like from when the photo was taken and submit.

It looks like one to stay away from.
I agree and kept my distance using my 80-400mm for the shot.

Here is one I took at the end of October - wildlife - but from the local zoo. It's a caracal, also known as the desert lynx, and they are widely distributed across Africa, Central Asia, and Southwest Asia into India. I love the little tufts on top of the ears.
Nikkor 105mm

I saw hawks all day across Nebraska, and try as I may, I could never get close enough. At one point, I parked on an off ramp and followed one pair probably 5 miles round trip trying to get a shot. I finally saw these two and stopped on the interstate shoulder, big no no by the way, and this was the best I could get. I'm really feeling the limitations of the D3200 here. Can't wait to get my hands on a real camera. A close crop has a ton of noise in it. Perhaps it's something I'm doing wrong?
D3200, Tameron 70-300 @250mm (second bird flew in and out quick, snapped at the length I was at). f5.6 @ 1/1250

I find it that when the lighting is not good then the photo gets noisy. How I approach Hawks is that when I see them I will not stop right away but just keep going past and then turn around a little ways away and approach slow, then gradually slow down and gently stop. Also will either get a shot out the window or get out of the vehicle slowly without banging or shutting the door. Hawks don't like it when you stop fast or make loud sudden noises.
