Here is an eclectic assortment of images from near my home in Fremantle, Western Australia for the months of January and February, 2014. Being a coastal and historical port town, there is much variety and options for activities and scenery.

I hope you enjoyed this brief sojourn around where I live. More posts of Fremantle will follow over time.
Thanks for viewing 🙂

Assorted non-avian critters from Australia, Belize, USA. Most taken with Canon 30D camera and Canon 100-400 mm lens (predominantly handheld). All of these animals (excepting the domestic dog and horses) are wild and “free”.

Bottlenose dolphin and red snapper.

American Alligator.

American Alligator and Roseate Spoonbills.

American Alligator - a mating behavior.

a very loud, and in this case fatal, chomp on a turtle.

American Black Bear just prior to hybernation.

American Black Bear (same individual as prior image).

Australian Shepherd and snow - not wildlife but a handsome dog nonetheless.

Bee (unidentified).

Bee and Morning Glory flower.

Another bee, another flower.

Black Iguana.

Green Iguana - cryptic coloration.

Green Iguana.

Coyote - "fearful and aggressive" behavior. This individual has been ravaged by sarcoptic mange, hence the lack of fur and the open flesh wounds. The temperature was 20 degrees F on the day I captured this image - surely this individual perished soon thereafter.

Coyote. This individual heard the camera shutter and looked "straight at me" but I was apparently sufficiently camouflaged to not "spook" it. Also, the wind was blowing strongly from right-to-left in this image so my scent was apparently not detected.
