Well, Sis and I spent all evening and this morning -- cameras in hand! We usually have hawks all over around here. Do you think one would come around for us to snap a picture? NO!
But we did manage to make some of the "animals of prey" a bit nervous by stalking the yard trying to get pictures of them.
I made collages, because we managed six "birds/animals of prey" each. These are updates for both @GroguFan and @stratasfan

The neighbor's outdoor cats pretty much live in our bushes, but they are super scared of people. We tried photographing them, but no dice. So, we took Oliver outside as our Feline entry!
Oh, and even a skunk was nice enough to come around for a bit under the bird feeder. Maybe he figured it was easier to come out than have us looking for him! I also got a raccoon on the deck, though Sis wins! She got a picture of the whole racoon family eating at the bird feeding station. They come in pretty much every night.
Across the street live attack Dobermans which have been trained to attack everything and everyone in the neighborhood, so we had to include them.
We went down to the lake at the end of the street (hoping to find a Hawk), and we ended up finding Cormorants! They're migrating, so they're not here for very long.



@CanaDaLE I included the Vulture pics here, because maybe it's easier for you to see the six prey animals separately from the complete alphabet photos.

We took my in laws to the zoo yesterday so I was able to get lots of good shots. The plants are all from my yard, along with the butterflies, bat, rabbit, hummingbirds and nest and the hawk. This was fun!!!!

bad picture of a grizzly bear... LOL
 
That is so cool! Love all the zoo animals. What a great day to be going.
 
Wow! I am SO impressed by all the birds. That is absolutely great. I would love to have done that. We have lots of bird here, but not a wide enough variety to get that many different names. Amazing!!!

So glad you are posting these pics! I love seeing the Williamsburg scenes. Sis and I were just watching a walkthrough of Duke of Gloucester street. We'd love to go there!!
(Have you ever read the Elswyth Thane Williamsburg series? Those are so good -- not for kids, but very good.)
 
This game happened to coincide with a day when my husband has relatives in town from out of state so we might have been playing tourist with them no matter what and today is Juneteenth so there’s a lot of special events going on for that we wanted to attend. It’s been events downtown in the historic area and around non-stop for us for the past couple days.

I love the creativity.

I would like to give extra points to noone for taking pictures of all birds and the misunderstanding of the way I wrote the challenge. I was travelling all day yesterday and didn’t reply often to thread with clarity.

Thank you, i actually had more bird of prey photos that i didn't use because i thought it was bonus for birds in general and was focused on getting all the letters covered
