Title: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: Toolman on Apr 20, 06, 07:53:20 AM
How about some pet and wild life photos to share?

 My two pals didn't want to look into the camera on this day. Kinda glad they didn't.

Great looking dogs!

Its great they have tags! I wouldn't recommend leaving choker chains on all the time... I've heard many times of dogs getting caught on things and hanging them selves and playing dogs have been known to get there teeth stuck in the links and some pull there teeth out. They are a great tool to use for training or when taking them for walks. I know, I've got siberians. Do they chew collars off each other? Thats just my  :2cents:

This guy sheds more than any animal known to earth.  He doesn't just shed in fall and spring either.  It's CONSTANT!!!!

This is my first attempt at posting a picture so bear with me here.

"I will fill two or 3 big carpenter trash bags of hair before their winter coat is gone.Help "

Angelwolf, I recently purchased a grooming rake that is imported from Germany. I have 2 German Shepherds, one with long hair. The grooming rake works great....and makes their coat so shiny after raking them.  I am sure there are many places to buy them, here is the link to where I ordered mine.

I got my shedding blade at Target for $5.00, couldn't be happier with it.  It does a great job on dogs and cats, if you can get them to stand still long enough.  And on the cat, it gets almost all of him with each pass, which is why I like it more than the rake we had before.

I have two siberians and it is never ending, everything black I wear has white hair on it, even if it's fresh out of the dryer and not brought into the house.  LOL 

I will fill two or 3 big carpenter trash bags of hair before their winter coat is gone.

Help  :-\

Spent $60 on a rake last weekend and It really gets that under coat out....

Awww, Chuck, what a precious, gorgeous baby!  Congrats!  How old is Winnie?  She looks sooo much like my little Petey did as a puppy - we got him in 1986 and he went to doggy heaven in 1999.  Doxies are the only dogs I've ever had, and I just love them!  My baby is a tiny black and tan short-haired one, she will be 3 on May 30.  Love those wiener dogs!

Winnie is wonderful!!!!  What a great little dog. I sure hope someday I can have a little dog. I love my bigger dogs, but little ones are so darn cute!! And heaven knows I love doxies :2thumbsup: I just want  to kiss her little nose..

Saw this big rattler up on 3N1 today.  This is such a pretty place up this road...  I'm glad I went exploring....

Quite a day, SurferDude brought me a baby squirrel which I met Tonya from WMS and gave it too, she fed it with a small small bottle and will keep it alive until it is ready to release!  Saw a snake and saw a small bob cat, (the size of a small dog) on LPC.

Well, I am not a rattlesnake lover...got bit by one at age 10 and almost died...But as for that "Winnie", she is the cutest  and sweetest little dog I have ever known.  It makes my day, any day I get to see her.   Licks and cuddles and the softest warmest belly ever.

That's a decent timber rattler.
It's time to get out the tall boots and snake gaters...
Came across one myself today....
Couldn't get my camera out in time.
They are so considerate to let us know when we get too close...
It's better that stepping on them!

Each time they come out of hibernation, they shed their skin, and with each skin shedding (molting) a new rattle appears. During the rapid growth of the first few years, they may molt three times annually. Thus, the number of rattles is not a true indicator of age. Rattles also wear out or break off, so it is unusual to find an adult snake with more than 8 or 10 rattles.

Great info on the vipers!
Someone should start a rattlesnake thread..
I wonder if Timber Rattlers would respond to the flute the same way Cobras do?
That's the only way I could get macros of them.
Rattlesnakes are so fiesty!

Looks like that might be a:
Southern Pacific Rattlesnake
Crotalus oreganus helleri

The color scheme and pattern is right for the body, but not the head.
There might be variations within the species.
What do you think?

I think you are right that it is a Southern Pacific Rattlesnake.  The below picture shows my snake with a picture showing the S. Pacific Rattler.  It sure looks like a match to me.

Mogli

This little guy is plum worn out, took him to Mountaineer Days on Sat, then to the Inn where he slept on the deck while I had a few adult beverages, then to a friends house....

Today, he slept 6 hours, then off to town for a bit more socialization and home to play...

He has learned to run up and down the stairs, in one day and where he wants to sleep, under my bed.  LOL

Oh the joy of a puppy, great but tiring.  I have learned, just like a baby, to sleep when he does....  He is getting to know the big dogs, but my mail is being a bit territorial and does this growling that sends Mogli onto my lap...  He has spent about 20 min alone with the dogs twice with his new mom peeking out the window.....

He is actually (or so I was told) Golden Retriever/Shepard mix.

Here's another one I found of our little princess in those growing up years testing her boundries. We had just returned from Costco, putting things away and she got into that huge bag of paper towels.....she is soooo busted. You notice how she managed to reduce the size of the roll in a few feet. We followed the uh...paper trail sort of speak...

EEEKS!  Sorry about the oversized photos.  :P

I'm kind of a computer illiterate type AND am on dialup.  I get so frustrated (the only way I can get DSL is by paying $50+ a month for a sat. hookup) and get to pressing buttons before I can really see what I'm doing. 

We are going to the beach tomorrow for one last run  :'(.  These pics are taken with a disposable camera--not too bad a quality all things considered.  I don't want to take an expensive camera to the beach and get sand inside.  (O.K.  true confessions, I lost the hardware that goes from my 8 y/o digital camera to the computer.  I'm using it as an excuse to get a new camera with a memory stick.... ::)). 

Oh, Miss Sadie just HATES going to PT....  Once she comes out of the pool for her icing of her hip, it is all you can do to keep her from running up the ramp and jumping back in the pool.   :D

K9luvr,

do you take them to the beach between Huntington and Bolsa Chica?

http://www.dogbeach.org/

We rode our bikes on the trail there last wekend and stopped quite a while and watched all the happy pooches and people playing. It was a blast to watch.

Too bad Fancy is old and crippled. She loves water. Never had her at the beach. I am sure Mr D would run up and down the sand, carefully avoiding the water ;D

Thanks gypsywolf for the great link! I had no idea there were that many dog beaches. I knew there was one in San Diego and one in Ventura, now I see there are four in L.A. County. I will have to check out one of the closer ones to see if my pooch is afraid of the water like she is afraid of everything else, including the car ride to get to anyplace. K9luvr, your light colored pooch looks an awful lot like my Sara. Cute pictures!

Thank you ForestGal that was awfully sweet of you to say. One of these days she is going to have to go on a hike with your Heidi. Does Heidi get along with Bisquits as well as Sara does? Oh, Sara said I should give you some karma for saying nice things about her. ;)

K9luvr,do you take them to the beach between Huntington and Bolsa Chica?

No, I've been to that beach but I go to one north of Ventura on Hwy 101.  Both are about 2 hrs from my house (I don't live in WW) but the one at Ventura is a little less crowded. 

Two weeks ago at the beach Sadie was so cute playing with a little mix dog that weighed about 8-10 lbs (she weighs 50).  She was so careful not to knock the little guy over but they were running all over the beach.  And I was soooo proud of her at her last PT session.  There was a chocolate lab that had had a stroke and they were working on getting her to be able to walk again.  Sadie was playing with her and "Jamocha" was having a great time.  Plus Jamocha was stretching her bad leg and wagging her tail.  The (canine) physical therapist said it was the best PT that Jamocha could have because she didn't even realize she was stretching and exercising.  We stayed an extra 15 minutes just so Sadie could give Jamocha a workout (and have fun doing it).  The other dogs don't like to play with Jamocha because of her partial paralysis.

Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: angelwolf326 on Aug 31, 06, 03:58:33 PM
Thanks Wildman and Cinchy. 

My dad said is was a young deer and you could tell he was young cuz the velvet was still there. 

I was actually 3 ft from him.  Hopped out of the car, he was in the median and walked slowly up to him.  Had the 18-85 lens on and I looked him in the eyes as I squatted down to capture him and he kind of said okay to me with his eyes, but get NO closer.  I took some shots, told him thanks and got back in the car. 

My dad said I was crazy that he could have tore me up....  I was not scared at all.  I gave him his space.  His eyes were so beautiful... 

I got another pic of a young elk with velvet on his antlers but I have not cropped it yet.  I will post when I do.

We took them on August 23rd.

We were soooo lucky that day. Apparently, Mt. Evans, Co.  is usually very cold and windy. The day we were there it was big, puffy monsoonal clouds and warm. The elevation there is 14,258 feet.

Can't recommend that drive enough if anyone gets the chance. First time I have ever been in an alpine tundra environment.

Hey Toolman (Mike),
  I don't know if you could have dogs at the "beach" part of Silerwood where the marina and all that are, but I go to the other side of the lake. Take the dirt road that is right there by the dam and drive until you are like right across the lake from the dam and then hike down to the water. Just make sure you go during the week because the weekends are a zoo. The water is super warm too. I think I might head out there tomorrow maybe while the weather is still good.

i'm not sure if Mr. Bunny qualifies as a pet or wildlife.  he allows me to carry him around in my backpack, but he still poops on my desk every time he naps there.  and i've learned to NEVER come between  him and his carrot cake!

but Mr. Bunny is not just an ordinary, one-dimensional lagomorph.

he loves nature:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/somenaturewecanhold.jpg)

even little rodent friends:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/bunnymakesafriend.jpg)

maybe he loves nature too much...here he is on a dead whale, just to the right of the whale's missing eye:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/bunnyonwhale.jpg)

he's got other friends too, like Mr. Weasel:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/mrbunnyandweasel.jpg)

and Miss Mountain Lion (I think they play too rough sometimes):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/mrbunnyandmountainlion.jpg)

he's so devoted to friendship that he made this box-end canoe out of Western Red Cedar bark so that he could paddle them around Lake Crescent in Olympic Nat. Park:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/bunnytakesfriendscanoeing.jpg)

sometimes he tries to visit Mrs. Ground Squirrel, but carrot cake has made Mr. Bunny equatorially-gifted, if you know what i mean...he can't fit into the burrow!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/mrbunnychasinggroundsquirrels-1.jpg)

when his friends aren't around, Mr. Bunny has been known to go mud-sliding (and guess who gets to clean everything up?):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/bunnywentmud-sliding.jpg)

even bunnies have to answer the Call of Nature:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/readingwhilegoingpotty.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/bunnygoesnaturepotty.jpg)

but don't worry...even though he doesn't go poopy like wild animals do, he can handle himself in nature.  he knows to bring his backpack, with lunch in tow...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/bringyourbackpack.jpg)

and he wouldn't go out in inclement weather without his hat and raincoat (Ziploc brand, of course):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/layersandraingear.jpg)

Mr. Bunny has an academic side as well.  he loves to teach stone age skills to children.  he even wrote an article so that he could reach more people!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v190/stormbythesea/other/mrbunnyisfamous.jpg)

yep--i'm very lucky to know Mr. Bunny.  we're like two carrots in a pod...

well, since we're "confessing," it bothers me when i place mr. bunny somewhere where his face is pressed against something--as if i'm concerned with his breathing or something (is something wrong with me?  ;)).   i "take care" of him in ways that are usually reserved for live entities. 

it's about time mr. bunny took care of me for a change!  i wish i could ride around in his backpack...

hey Bud-- :offtopic:

whatever you think you saw in Hillbilly's last post---it doesn't seem to be there.  i suggest you practice what you preach and Get Over It.

i suspect there are very few people on this forum that care to endure your verbal terrorism.  when i click on a thread entitled, "Pet or Wildlife Photos," i don't expect to be subjected to what you are offering.  it's a real downer...

perhaps WW's "alternative" forum is better suited for you...

I dunno, Storm, look at all of the whole stuffed toys in the backround, not just the duck. Doesn't look like Mogle has a taste for polyester fiber fill... now at our house, although my 'fully functional' bunnies are fine, we'd have to give bun-bun 'protection'. From the pictures Mogli looks like a big goofy guy, his expression and eyes are just like the Great Pyranees puppy, Mr. Buster, next door. He's two now and a goofy moose, his new best friend is a 6 year old beagle that they just adopted. Pretty darn funny when they're 'wrestling', eventually Beagle Bailey winds up on top giving him 'why I oughta'  ;D   I should get some pix for this thread, although video would be better!!!

Everybody else, take a deep breath and a time out. :stop:

From Mogli....  Now if the Jettmeister got anywhere near Mr. Bun Bun, well, it would be a sad sad tale (tail?).  Jett can demolish any stuffed toy within minutes.  I got so tired of spending $3-10 on a toy that would last less than 5 minutes, went to Jo-Ann fabrics and bought a huge bag of stuffing for $2 on sale.  All the old socks go in an old grocery bag and when it comes time for a toy rip fest, the old socks get stuffed with the cheap stuffing and "away we go!"  (yee gads, quoting Jackie Gleason--I really AM showing my age!).

What IS it about the fluffy stuff?  My dogs disembowel their stuffed toys almost everyday.  Than I get to restuff and sew.  They just make a new hole farther down the seam and go at it again.  Can that fiberfill actually taste good?

I know this is a bad picture, but if you notice, this hawk only has one leg. He was hopping around on the ground when I first saw him, but by the time I got my camera he had flown to this spot which was a fairly good distance away from me. I just thought it was kind of sad, but he seemed to be coping with it.

Haha I have to teach her about rocking chairs, shoes (friends, not food), not to be affraid of the dog door, and how to use the stairs outside back. 

She'll be going to school, getting spayed, getting her shots and learning how to use the dog bed we bought her (laying ON it, not beside it).  She's just a love!  We made a great decision bringing her home.

What a great picture Breezymtns! You sure picked a sweet looking girl Mazzy!

This guy has had me up since 3am, driving my dog crazy. He learned to unsnap the lid from my old dog food container and help himself every night. I replaced the old container with a new locking one from Mountain Hardware today and he was trying for well over an hour to figure out how to get inside. He sure does not look like he has missed too many meals.

3PinkRoses,

Those puppies are just darling!!!

I have seen plenty of "darling" pups at the pound. PLEASE screen all buyers and make sure they really do qualify as responsible dog owners!!! Please make sure they have forever homes!! I know some people that breed pups and just hand them over to the first person that comes along and forks over the dough!!! It breaks my heart to see animals treated like this :( Yes..I know man has "dominion" over the animals. If one has dominion over something, surely there is an inherent responsibility for the caring of said creatures.

I know.. I know...gypsywolf is harping on the same old thing. Normally I don't get riled. But breeding any dog, purebred or not, for a profit, when there are PLENTY of animals out there already that need homes, just makes me see fiery red :fa-devilwink:

Our family adopted a Long-Haired German Shepherd from a GS Rescue in LA. I thought raising an "older" dog might be easier on me and my health. I knew from the git go that the dog we adopted was younger than the "3 yrs old" we were told by the rescue. Well, today the Vet told us that our dog is a puppy! Maybe as old as 1.5 yrs old!! His name is Skylar, and as I was training him, I thought he acted more like a puppy! It sure explains why he acted the way he has!! I have lost 20 pounds since we got him! I did not rescue him, he rescued me :)

Mogli's 2nd graduation.  This time from intermediate school.  He can sit, shake, back up and take a bow, speak, lay down, stand and roll over...  He can also loose leash walk and heal.  He is doing well for being only 6 mos old...  He did not like the graduation cap too well.  :)

I was in heaven today. My best friend recently inherited a second horse and we can ride together again. I got to go on my first ride today and he and I hit it off. He didn't try and dump me and I let him pick and choose his trail and stayed of his mouth. It was a great arrangement!

Here is Blue Boy and I on our first (hopefully first of many) trail rides through the desert.

Thank heavens for best friends!!

 I am so envious ;) as a kid growing up in Northern Idaho I got to ride all the time. We had the land, but I never had my own horse and my buddy didn't have his own dirt bike. We would trade time together between two wheels and four legged fun. I taught him how to ride two wheels and he taught me to ride four legged.  It seemed so surreal with the quietness, other than him yelling at me to do this and that. ;D I wasn't even in my teens then and I learned a lot....especially helping to shovel the barn. ::)

 I miss horse back riding.... :'(

Check out those claws!   :o  What are his/her/its teeth like?  What do you feed it?  Does it live in a cage?

Last March when I was in Cabo San Lucas, on a day excursion on the Mexican cruise I was on, my friend and I were walking along, and there were these guys with iguanas along the walkway, waiting to bait tourists for pictures.  Before I knew it, I had an iguana on my shoulder (about a foot long, I guess), and another in my hands, with a little sombrero on its head.  I almost freaked, but the man assured me they wouldn't bite!  They didn't, and I gave him my last $ left over from Acapulco the previous year, a 50 peso note (about $5).  It was worth it for the pic that my friend took of us!

Well, that pic is still on the memory chip in my little camera - I haven't figured out how to get it onto the computer.  One of these days.....  ???
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: KWBoy on Jan 25, 07, 09:51:30 PM
His teeth are small but as sharp as a razor blade and they hurt... It is probably the cheapest animal we own... Kale, lettuce, bananas, grapes... It lives in a cage and has out grown it. Time to build him one. Oh and it doesn't crap that much.  ;D
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: ForestGal on Jan 25, 07, 10:10:27 PM
How does it relate to your dogs, and vice versa?  Not that I'm thinking about getting one, just curious.....  Has it ever bitten you?  I guess so, if you are able to state that the teeth hurt.  ::)  Needless to say, after handling those in Cabo last year, I washed my hands before I ate lunch!

Mocha is growing rapidly and changing looks by the day.  We have identified at least five different breeds she could be other then a Stater's pup.  We'll see in a few months.  Not exactly the lap dog my wife wanted but will be a good ranch dog and companion to Buzz and Sketchy.

Well, T-Bone sure is a beauty, if that's any consolation!  ;D  (So is Harley.)  How old are your babies?

I was awfully glad when my dog outgrew puppyhood!  She's a miniature dachshund, weighed 2-1/2 pounds when we got her at age 11 weeks or so, and it was hard to imagine that a creature that tiny could have so much destructive energy!   :P  She'll be 4 at the end of May, weighs all of 10 lbs., and still has all that energy, but outgrew the "destruction" many moons ago.  She's a lovable sweetheart!

Harley is 2 - about 100 lbs and T-Bone is 3 months and 30 lbs.  We have some big boys...but would not have it any other way.  My husband took T-Bone to work with him so Harley and I could get some sleep today  :)

(I really don't know and curious if that's a common practice)

Yup!  I don't travel without my dogs being either crated or belted in.  If you look at Jett's pic very closely, you can see he has a black seat belt harness on.  The harness has a loop tha the center shoulder belt slides thru and attaches.  Again, you have to look closely but there is a black nylon webbing to the left of Jett in the pic. (that is not his rear leg going to the left of the picture).  He is a big boy.  With his illnesses, he has dropped to about 80 lbs but can you imagine if he was not belted in and came flying into the front seat in a crash.  It could kill him and getting hit by such a big guy could kill me too. 

I was in PetSmart yesterday and they had a whole section called "auto safety" where you could get different kinds of restraints for your pets.  I have to leave the seat belt harness in the car because if I accidentally touch it in the house, Jett goes ballistic and there is no peace unless we go for a ride--even if it is just around the block   ::)  Spoiled boy!

I love rabbits and the last few years we have seen them return in our area.  I haven't seen many Jack Rabbits, mostly Cottentail.  Today I caught these Jack Rabbits trying to avoid me on a walk around Pinon Mesa.

 ;D ;D

I know that, basically, but in my opinion, squirrels are very cute, and snakes aren't.  Maybe I've still got the willies from the rattlesnake encounter last summer, on the high road between Grassy Hollow and Jackson Flat.

I just don't like to be startled - last Monday Nolena and I, a friend, and 3 dogs were enjoying a nice hike up the road at McLellan Flat.  A butterfly flew into my face, and from my reaction, you would have thought I was being attacked by a pterodactyl!   :o

That's a stink bug, isn't it?  I actually don't know how they smell, when I see one I take the broom and brush it a loooong way away.  Don't think I've ever seen one in the house.  Be veeeerry afraid...... :o  Actually, when you touch one (not with my hand, mind you) - they stick their little rear ends up into the air, and I don't know where the stink part comes in.  Never got close enuf to tell.

My son is in 4-H and his main project is Boer Goats, which are a meat type goat (no we do not eat them, they are to dang cute) He owns 1 buck and 3 full grown does as well as 3 yearling does. The 3 big girls, Miss Jamia had 3 kids that are 2 weeks old now (2 boys and 1 girl) Tuff, Stretch and Miss Ellie, WeeBit had 2 girls, Rayne and Storm (who I call the trouble sisters, Born the same day as Jamia's) and now Jazzy who has these 2 cuties. We haven't named them yet. Now out of the 3 yearlings (Valentine, Tank (who truly is a tank, lol) and Pinky), 1(Valentine) is due next month, then we are done kidding for this year. These animals are amazing, they are very smart, and so loving and each one has their own unique personality. If you ever want to have a great time, come on down and sit with my goats, they are so entertaining. It is so much fun to watch the babies Bounce.  And they are Great weed eaters!

My ex-stepdad, a former science teacher at Sylmar High, had a wide array of animals at his home. One was a raven named Myrtle. Myrtle was friends with the miniture collie we had named Boots. It was all very natural, as there was only one alpha animal, my stepdad. Everything else followed his lead. Both Myrtle and Boots ate kibble from the dog food bowl and drank from the water bowl.

He later acqured a red-tailed hawk that had hung around the 5/14 interchange. It was hand-trained, and all he had to do was hold a piece of steak out and it came to him. He did what he could to retrain it to hunt, but I don't know if he succeeded in his efforts.

He was a real naturalist, and instead water in his above ground pool, he had set up a habitat for a pair of chipmunks he had. He also had a couple snakes and showed us (13, 11 and 8 years old) how to feed mice to the snakes without potentially harming the snakes. I won't repeat it here, as it may disgust some people.

Sounds great to me, now we just need 1 more and I can get them regestered this week! We also are pretty positive that they are both going to be naturally poled, meaning they will not have horns, their Mom is naturally poled. No Horns, No bruises on me or their owner when they get older! lol

I can't blame the bear. (btw, it looks like a grizzly) He was basically just letting his captors know who's boss and that he wasn't happy.

Post by: love_walnuts on Feb 26, 08, 04:09:18 PM
Quite an impressive set of snapshots. It really goes to show no matter what, you must always keep in mind the wild nature of these animals. This was probably something they had done before without problems, and will probably do again. However, the comment about releasing on a bridge is a good one. It limits the escape routes the bear had. I wouldn't be surprised if the cage is modified to allow remote release.

Note to self: Make sure when bear releasing that I am wearing a hat that I don't mind losing.

Yeah, I think that's it... If you click on the "red X", a new browser should open, with the image. You'll probably get a "page not found" message.. if you get that, try refrshing that page.. then it works.

At least that's the way it works here. I wonder if Bob/ForestGal perhaps have "accounts" on FreakingNews.com. If they do, maybe its "ok" for them to view images that were hotlinked from somewhere else.

This all just proves that Bob is a high maintenance kind of guy. :)

Wow, Angelwolf.
Those are some challenging topics - the honeybee in flight and the grackle (?).

I tried some honeybee shots on our apple blossoms a week or two ago, but I wasn't able to freeze them in flight. I'll post some of the better ones (not in flight) eventually.

And the grackle - any black subject is always a challenge to get in focus (if you use autofocus) and to get the proper exposure.
I've had a heck of a time getting good shots of our Rottie.

Great shots!

Post by: angelwolf326 on May 19, 08, 11:01:53 PM
Thanks Jon.  The bees were pretty easy, they were feeding for along time.  I am not allergic to them, so I get right up on them up in the tree or the flower....  Had my camera on the fastest shutter speed as well.

I love those black birds.  In the evening the sun is right in a certain spot that they always go for seeds.

Good Luck.

Here is a Blue.

I've been all around Catalina on the Gray Whale trip.

Don't mind at all. Sharing is what it's all about.  :)
One was in the backyard, the other in the front yard. So I guess you would say they were in the same general area.

Tumblebush, for now, I've chosen the fawn that's practically hidden in the grasses.  Can't believe how large its ears are, for such a tiny creature.  I love baby animals!  I visited my sister in NW Portland a couple of weeks ago.  Their home is very near Forest Park, if you're familiar with that area.  They have lots of deer that visit regularly in their neighborhood, and while strolling several blocks in the area, I saw several pots of what were supposed to be flowering geraniums, but instead saw potfuls of stems and leaves, no flowers.  I would think geraniums would be too pungent, but I guess not.  My sis seems to now have deer-proof plants in her front yard, but we'll see.....

Sweet nothin'....they are a pain in the you know what at times.
roughly 15ft
They get so used to you around here it gets scary sometimes. Drive the dogs nuts because they'll stand right outside the run and tease them.

I hate it when they look at me like that when I'm sitting out chewing on a piece of venison jerky. And no, I'm no deer hunter (yet). I'm lucky enough to have a neighbor lady that is though. 100% Indian (as she always reminds me) and doesn't waist a thing. Not like most of those idiot trophy hunters.

Thanks LG.....  it's not too easy to brush a wolf though, they tend to eat the brush.  LOL

Niwah would groom you, she loves hair and rubs her head all over yours messing it up pretty good and if you have a pony tail, she will pull it....  (in a playful way)

Thanks. And as for selling pics like that. Heck, everyone up here would be rich. And yes, thats my living yard art. They come in for their salt lick and look around the house to see what there is to nibble on. Mostly shrubs and old garden plants. It's so temping to want to feed them in the winter, but it's not right or natural and could be bad for them.

One of my sisters lives in Portland, and during my last visit up there in mid-Sept., I walked in the neighborhood several times (NW Portland, near Forest Park).  There were several lovely gardens, with many pots of geranium stems.  In other words, the flowers were all gone, just pots of stems.  And we knew who the culprits are!  They get deer all the time in their yards.  Up here, it's a real treat to see one out in the forest.

And, I stole this photo for my wallpaper on the computer for now, it's perfect for the holiday season.   :2thumbsup:  Hope you don't mind.

Yeah, they can be quite destructive on a garden, that's why I just plant mostly Daffodils around here. They don't like them. Although occasionally a yearling will sample one and spit it out.

Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: DesertRat on Jan 22, 09, 03:37:05 PM
Thanks for the well wishes! His name is Kiwi, kind of keeping an Australian/New Zealand theme with my other pets. I have another dog named Dingo and a cat named K-roo.

I've been really lucky with my shelter adoptions in the past. My first dog was a wonderful Border Collie mix, very smart (passed away a couple of years ago) and my dog Dingo is a Keesehound mix, super sweet and very patient with the new hyper addition.

Kiwi is the first older dog I've adopted and so far has worked out well, learning the house rules pretty quickly :)

Oh my goodness TB, Katy is beautiful!!!

Out of curiosity, is the upkeep on mules less than horses? They seem so much more hardy...

Like most kids I always wanted a horse, but now I'm of an age that if I ever had the opportunity a nice-tempered mule (is there such a thing?) might be better and maybe more fun with their personality?

Like most kids I always wanted a horse, but now I'm of an age that if I ever had the opportunity a nice-tempered mule (is there such a thing?) might be better and maybe more fun with their personality?

I think she is a dream. My neighbor owns Katy and her side kick Belle along with her small herd of Appaloosas that she breeds.
I used to be the same way, always dreamed of the day I could own horses and now that I have the land and time...well....I'm just not the age I once was and find that two dogs and a husband are enough of a challenge these days. ::)
Besides, it seems that I have always been lucky enough to live close to someone that already owns them and end up being able to get all the horse therapy I ever wanted. :)
As for upkeep, mules vs horses....well....like any animal...they both have maintenance and if you're looking for personality....Mules definitely have lots of it.
Vet bills and winter feed are what shy me away from owning them or horses....just the other day, old Belle ran them a vet bill of 500bucks. Of course she is up there in age and had to have x-rays because of some back trouble.
Katy is a hug-a-bug but will sneak into the chicken house with Belle if given the chance. Or sometimes, they will see an opportunity to take a stroll along the road to go visit the neighbors.
As for hardiness?....I have talked to a few mule owners that agree mules seem hardier than horses, but they also said because mules are more laid back than horses that it tends to be harder to tell when they are getting sick as it's a little harder to read the signs.
And yes, I believe there is such a thing as a "nice-tempered mule", just like there is such a thing as a nice-tempered pit bull.
Temperament is all in the way they are bred, raised and handled and I would say it reflects the personality of whoever owns one. Hence,  if you have a stubborn mule....you probably have a stubborn owner who is lacking in patience. Animals are really good at reading people...specially mules.
I'll ask my neighbor and see if she'll list some of the differences out between the two since she's bred and raised both Mules and Horses for years.
Anyhoots, I better scoot tail off here before I babble on too much more......once a hermit starts talking....sometimes it's hard to get them to shut up. ::)

I guess its true what they say-you need to have at least 3 hummingbird feeders if you want alot of hummingbirds to come and visit.  I just have one and a very aggressive hummingbird that sits on a branch and just waits for another one to come for a drink. When one comes anywhere near the feeder it divebombs it to scare it away, then goes back on watch duty.  Beautiful picture of all the hummingbirds.

Thanks for the nice comments!

These were shot at the San Diego Zoo. Pandas are only at a few zoos in the U.S. and only on loan for a considerable lease price paid to China.

I have seen them at the National Zoo (D.C.) and plan on making a trip to Atlanta this Summer.  That will leave only one U.S. "panda zoo" that I know of on the list, Memphis.

I still need to make it to Forever Wild.

The SD Zoo has a program that lets you feed the giraffe and the proceeds go to the underprivileged in Africa.
The keeper said the monies from just  giraffe feeding session will feed a child in Africa for a whole year.

Mogli at the Walk for Animals.  We only did one lap as it was his first time at an event in his chair.  It is very hard to get him in and out so he was in it the whole time.  We stayed for about an hour.  He seemed to have a good time.

I saw that dog in town yesterday, and I thought "Bless that dog owner!".   :)   I see so many dogs, especially during Mountaineer Days, just doing dances because the pavement is burning their paws.  I always think that if a person can't walk barefooted on pavement cuz it's too hot, that the poor animals shouldn't be subjected to it either.   >:(

Is that on your property, SkierBob?  You've got quite the wildlife out there!
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: SkierBob on Oct 26, 11, 12:05:28 PM
The water and salt lick are a mile up the dirt road from my house.  I bring 5 gallons of water up every 3 or 4 days and swap the memory card out of the game camera. 

I put the water & salt out for the deer but have yet to capture a picture of any.  I see more deer around my house then ever. I think this is due to the crown fire burning a lot of the area to the West. 

Where there's deer there's mountain lions so I didn't want to put the water & salt to close to my home. 

The water and salt have been up there about 2 months and I'm noticing it's getting more popular with the animals as time goes on.

Maybe the situation there is that the dark one looks like a wild/feral dog, and the smaller lighter-colored ones look like a cross between a coyote and the larger darker one.  Maybe some sort of half-breed.

The photos were taken about 100ft below the summit of Tenhi Mtn. Tenhi is located above Lake Palmdale (it's the mtn with the cell towers on it).

Bob,
Maybe I missed it in a previous posting...
Are you refilling the water container (guzzler) daily?
Is the guzzler a cut down plastic trash can?
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: SkierBob on Nov 17, 11, 08:30:14 AM
Yes it's a cut down plastic trash can. It holds 10 gallons.
The smaller guzzler is a plastic cut down waste basket. It holds about a gallon.

I go up every day more often then not, more to retrieve the memory chip then to fill the water. The batteries last about a month, and the 2gig memory chip would last even longer. Most recently I hadn't been up for two days.  The large guzzler was down about 2 inches, and the smaller guzzler was empty.  Activity is up and I'll probably make the smaller guzzler a little larger. 

I bring up 10 gallons and always pour the entire 10 gallons in the guzzler to keep it fresh.  I've never added more then 3 gallons before it starts to overflow.

Wow, I'm sure glad that I looked at this thread!  If I'd seen one of your beautiful coyotes up there, I would have been like, "Here doggie doggie!"

These are beautiful and healthy looking creatures.

You should see the skraggly and scrawny city coyotes we have around here.  I thought they all looked like that!

There's a block of salt just out of the picture on the left.  The bucks are starting to go for the salt as they crave it in the spring during antler devopement. This is a Bushnell camera my neighbor loaned me. I like the image quality. The infarred quit working on my camera and I sent it back to the manufacture.

Neat picture.     How long did the deer hang out?    He must have really been thirsty to wait his turn.

What did the coyote say to the deer?      "Fancy meeting you here, my deer."

Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: SkierBob on Jun 28, 12, 07:15:04 AM
The deer got there about 8:25, five minutes before the coyote.  The coyote filled his tank and left, the deer hung around until about 8:45

This morning a large owl visited the guzzler that had a wing span of at least 40".

The type of owl is probably the Southern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) as a nesting site was identified nearby during a fuel modification.

If that's a PVC pipe I see the bear chewing on, you might want to check it.

A Few Quick Facts About Our Local, Santa Monica Mountain, Bobcats
1.  The largest bobcat we have captured (of 292 since 1996) was 11kg.  That puts him at 24.2 pounds.  We believe that this is the upper limit of the weight of our bobcats locally.
2.  Bobcats only eat meat and locally prefer to eat rabbits, ground squirrels, gophers, and woodrats.
3.  Bobcats are solitary and territorial.
4.  Male homeranges are around 2 square miles, while the female homeranges are around 1 square mile.
5.  Bobcats will cross secondary roads (ie., smaller than freeways), but are less likely to cross freeways regularly.
6.  Bobcats are susceptible to the same diseases as a domestic, pet cat is, and disease can be transmitted between a domestic cat and a bobcat (or vice versa).  This is just one reason to keep your pet cats indoors.
7.  The biggest threat to our local bobcat populations is rat poison exposure, and a possible link between rat poisons and a disease, notoedric mange, that usually is not harmful to wild cats.
8.  Bobcats may be exposed to rat poisons starting before they are born and for the duration of their lifetime.  They are exposed because people use the poisons in a variety of urban settings such as in and around the home, at schools, watershed areas, parks, golf courses, landfills, commercial buildings, etc.
9.  Bobcats locally have never been documented to eat people's pets or attack people.
10.  Bobcats in our area tend to avoid human interactions.
11. Bobcats usually have 2-4 kittens in a litter sometime between February and June each year.  The mom raises the kittens alone.

http://www.urbancarnivores.com/bobcats/ (http://www.urbancarnivores.com/bobcats/)

The bobcat I've photographed sure looks heaver then 24lbs, I wonder if I can get the bobcat to step on a scale?

The local bear has been tearing down a lot of bird feeders around town. Watch the small tree on the right and how the bear is frightened after he snaps the bird feeder from the tree.

Had to look it up as I never heard of 'em.

I know not what I know not, but are you sure? Legs look a bit long as does nose and tail longer and not as fluffy as the ones I saw on the internet.

I'm not sure at all.  That's what my friend said it was who lives up that way.  It seems to big to be a Pine Marten, perhaps it's a Fisher?

\Pine Martin crossing the road that goes up to Rock Creek Lake above Tom's Place.  First one I've ever seen.
That's a Gray Fox.  The easy way to identify them around here, since you only usually get a fleeting glimpse, is that they are usually similar in size/shape and have a similar tail length, albeit bushier, to a common cat.  Your ring-tailed thing you guys have up there I think is similar in shape and size but has that unique tail. 

Pine Martens look like ferrets/weasels - saw one on a pack trip in the Mammoth back country once.  It was a small thing.  A little turd of a child chased it away!

Pine Martens are in the weasel family.  Just like mink, river otter, wolverine, skunks, short tailed weasels, long tailed weasels, etc.

Those are my neighbors dogs, he calls them hybrid wolves.   They live a mile from me.  They are 2 miles from home when they're at the guzzler.  I don't like the idea of them running around chasing the wildlife, fortunately I only catch a picture of them once a month or so.  I've spoke with the neighbor he says they keep the mountain lions away.   We don't see eye to eye.

I haven't captured any wildlife on my game camera in some time.  I suspect it's directly related to the guzzler being frozen for the last month.  The ice is a foot thick and the few warm days we had didn't come close to melting it.

I called animal control for the 7th time on my neighbors big dogs.  When they went to his home the dogs were not there and he said they were with his wife.  The fact is they were out roaming as usual.  Animal control gave him 24 hours to show lic, shots and that kind of stuff, but could do nothing more. He said he would have to catch the dogs off his property to cite him. 

So now I'm building a 5ft by 6ft, 4ft high live trap.  My plan is to catch them on my property and turn them over to animal control.  As long animal control continues to cite & fine my neighbor I'll play the game for awhile.   I've filed a report 7 times over 18 months with animal control, funny thing was they only had my most recent complaint.   

Any wild animals I catch will be released.

Feral dogs running together are more dangerous then a wild wolf.  They cause more serious injuries to horses and livestock in this area then any other reason.  There are many things I disagree with on the handling of wolves in the western states (like hunting back to extinction)  but some of the ranchers do have a good process that takes care of the problem with little fuss. 

Something about the three S's

I hadn't been to this spring in 10 years.  Last time I was there it was dry.  It should be a great place for a wildlife camera.

Is this spring near your place in Palmdale??
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: SkierBob on Mar 04, 13, 10:43:23 AM
Yes, it's very close to my place and it's above the older Anna Verde area (not to be confused with the new Anna Verde housing track on the West end of Ave S) A friend of mine who's great grandfather homsteaded the area from Vincent Hill to Anna Verde told me she can remember going to this sprng with her grandfather. They would have to occasionally dig it out to form a basin.  They had a pipe running from the spring down 3/4 of a mile to Barrel Springs and Tierra Subida where they used the water for drinking and an orchard. 

This will give you an idea of the area.  You can see Palmdale Lake in this view looking NorthEast.

I have three different game camera's

Wildgame model N6C 6.0 megapixels.  Runs on four C batteries and has a active day or night setting.  (Not the best on battery life)

Bushnell 5.0 megapixels. Runs on four AAA batteries, no day/night setting.  Better battery life then the one above.

My third camera is another Bushnell 5.0 megapixels that runs on eight AAA batteries, no day/night.  This camera has the best battery life.  I don't think I've replaced them in 9 months. 

All the cameras have a decent quality pic, the deciding factor when purchasing one of these cameras seems to be the more batteries the better.  All the camera's can be connected to a battery pack for longer life.

well I found the camera this morning about a 1/4 mile from the spring.    No batteries and they removed the media card. 

kinda odd they'd just leave it laying in the trail. 

Perhaps it photgraphed something someone didnt' want photographed.  I haven't checked if it still works yet.

Haven't post any photos for a few years....still taking them.

First is a local wild Rainbow trout that is taking a Caddis fly my buddy has tossed up stream.  Just happened to catch him as he grabbed the fly.  All fish were immediately released.  We only fish with barbless hooks and release them in the water without touching them using a Ketchem Release Tool.  That day we pretty much caught a fish a cast.

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/fdwildman/fish1_zps16f92df7.jpg)

Still have Hummingbirds here at the ranch.  Had three or four Anna's winter over again.  I take the feeders down until I see them hanging around and then put one up. 

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/fdwildman/hum1-1_zps3c64079f.jpg)

Our crop of wild flowers is pretty bleak this year.  Just now losing these blooms which are the Hummers favorite.

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/fdwildman/humm2_zps58a54bbe.jpg)

This has been a good year for Coyote.  He has made great inroads in repopulating our valley and we have to watch small dogs like a hawk.

I don't know much about Road Runners. I know they mate for life and they are one of the few animals that will kill and eat rattlesnakes.

SkierBob.. These are such great pictures!! I love them!! Thank you.

Now, where is the pic of the roadrunner in this series? I see the hawk.. I see the crow. The roadrunners here are back this year as well. I am thrilled. We always had a pair that would race around here with their babies. After the big snow, several years back, they were missing in action for a number of years.  But, they are back. I haven't seen little ones yet.  I do have several watering stations here on the ground as well as a bird bath. I'll just keep watching. cheryl o7o

The critters are really hitting the guzzler.  It took 30 gallons to top it off this morning. I expect they'll continue to drink plenty as it warms up this week.

Finally spotted the road runner pic.. she was in the shade to the left of the crow.  I had one sitting up on the 5' fence outside my window here.. then she hopped/flew up into the Joshua. Not sure if she has a nest there. I have my eye on it. She was in again last night going on dusk. So, I'm hoping she has babies nearabouts. I haven't seen the male yet. They're a bit bigger with a smidge of blue in their feathers.

Was that a young mountain lion at your guzzler? It seemed too big for a bobcat.  loving these photos.. cheryl o7o

The video was taken from over 200 feet away using a 600mm lens and a Canon 7D.  That's why I didn't have sound of the pair making lots of noise.

I wish I could have posted the full HD version on YouTube but it was just too large.

We had one catch a dove (IIRC) in our backyard a few feet from a window.  I've got video of it eating it's meal.  After it was done, it wandered over to a puddle and stood in it.  It was winter, miserably cold out, and it just stood in the water.  I can't imagine what it was thinking but they certainly seem to have an affinity for water.

I believe we had one of the Coopers Hawks here in our backyard yesterday afternoon.  MakGirl got some pictures of it, it looks to be similar to the one with the longer tail feathers.  Since we are not that far from Wrightwood, I figured it may be one of the same birds.

Interestingly, the Stellar Jays were VERY noisy from cover, while the Hawk was in the area.  And no bloody banded doves around either (much to my dismay).
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: ForestGal on Jul 24, 13, 04:56:23 PM
I had one that was hanging around my back yard during the winter and spring.  Since the big maple tree on my patio, where I hang the suet and seed feeders, didn't have leaves on it, the birds were easy to see.  One day I wondered why no birds were at the feeders, and looked until I saw the hawk sitting there.  Another day I looked out the window of the back door and saw the hawk on the patio, just a few feet from the door.  It had caught one of the beautiful flickers.   :'(  I opened the door hoping the hawk would leave, but it flew up into the upper part of the yard and took the flicker with it.  So sad, but they have to eat too....  I just don't want to witness that.

I agree with RennMan, wish it had been one of those stupid pigeons instead.   :P

Before I read this comment, I thought to myself that the poor deer looks emaciated.  Dang I wish we would get some decent rain so that the food supply for the wildlife will be replenished.

I have to wonder if my guzzler is preventing the deer from moving to an area where there might be more grass.  I haven't seen the Buck's in at least 6 weeks or more.  I don't think the deer will die of starvation but if it gets weak it might end up Coyote bait. 

The Coopers Hawk is a first time visitor.

Wow, I didn't realize I started this thread in April of 2006 of my two best buddies Buster and Lucy and it's been viewed 83850 times. Great photography and off site cams so we can see all the great wildlife we have in the our backyard. Unfortunately Buster and Lucy are no longer with us. We also lost my fathers two dogs Kodo and Miko this year. So 2013 pretty much hasn't been our favorite year.

 But now we have a new family to raise, we adopted Elwood 2 months ago and Maddie came along our path and we adopted her recently. Elwood is 1-1/2 yr. and Maddie is 5months so we have our hands and hearts full. I'll never forget the kids I've raised and that has led me to some art ideas that I can cherish forever.

So let's introduce Elwood and Maddie to the family portrait.

The onlookers should have done something.  If you've never seen an Elk and if it's not obvious in the video...it's like the deer we have around here...times 2 or 3.  We nearly ran into one near Lake Mary in Az. at night in a very small car.  First we'd ever seen one and it seemed as big as the car.  It's pretty sad that the results of an image search on Google for "Arizona Elk" are 90% hunted/dead Elk....

Quote
Update: I've been in contact with the photographer in the above video and we would both like to issue a statement regarding the news of the National Park Service's decision to put the elk down.

My statement:
I am deeply saddened by the fate of the elk. It has certainly pulled a black cloud over this whirlwind "viral video" experience.

I spoke to the reporter who broke the story and she assured me the decision was based on a pattern of aggressive behavior that began prior to the incident documented in this video. The behavior was the result of visitors feeding the elk and conditioning them to seek food from humans. This video only serves as an example of the elk's dangerous behavior, not an impetus to it.

Again, it brings me great sadness to learn of this beautiful animal's demise and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding it.
I'm looking into a destination for proceeds from this video to help the NPS educate visitors on the dangers and consequences of feeding wildlife.

I also want to be clear that James, the photographer, was not complicit in a behavior that led to the elk's demise, but rather was made an example of the result of such behaviors. The elk approached him from behind, likely looking for food as he was conditioned to do.

Statement from James (the photographer):
I love and respect animals and that's why I photograph them and don't hunt them. I am deeply hurt by the loss of such a beautiful creature that in its own way bonded with me. I looked forward to watching him grow to a mature bull as the years passed.

I'm truly heartbroken to know he is gone.

Original video description:

While photographing elk at sunrise in the Cataloochee Valley of Great Smoky Mountains National Park I turned around to see what appeared to be just a curious young bull sniffing a photographer's camera. I snapped a few frames of the apparent harmless encounter.

But the elk became more interested in making trouble than simply the scent of a camera. He started physically harassing the photographer, escallating to full on head-butts.

I quickly switched the camera to video and let it roll (much of the time wondering when I should seriously consider intervening).

Most people who see this ask why the photographer seems to just take the abuse. I asked him in an email what was going through his head. This is his response:

"My first thoughts were "wow, he's getting pretty darn close here." But I've been up close before without incident. I hoped being still and passive would see him pass on. When he lowered his antlers to me, I wanted to keep my vitals protected and my head down. I felt that standing up would provoke him more and leave me more vulnerable to goring. I think that while protecting myself with my head down, having my head down was a signal that I was rutting with him. I was concerned at first, but when he started rearing back and lunging at me later on, I got scared and pissed off. That's when I wagged my finger at him to cut that crap out. I was relieved to see the Ranger coming.

So I guess at some point if the Ranger hadn't of pulled up, I would have had to disengage the best I could. I've joked with my friends that at least he took me for a buck and not a cow!"

Yo, Bob, you have some 'splaining to do! What's with the sheep dogs on your cam?

I've never seen the sheep dogs before. But when I shared the photos with my neighbors one of them knows the owners.  The sheep dogs live about 2 miles to the South of me.  So they were a good three miles from home when they were caught on camera.  The neighbor tells me they get out all the time but I haven't seen them since.  They sure are big!

The raven appears to be soaking something in the water to soften it up. I've seen them do this before.  Smart birds.. I put rocks on my dumpster to keep the wind from blowing the lids up.  I've seen them push the rocks off to allow the wind to blow the lids up.  After that they go dumpster diving.

yup, SkierBob I think you're right. The Ravens here (and we do debate as to whether they are ravens or crows).. will take their roadkill or whatever and rinse it off in the horses's water barrels. They then drop the parts they don't want into the bottom of the barrels. Such cute birds. cheryl o7o

Cheryl you probably have both. I had not really paid attention until we had an unkindness of ravens in WW last fall when they were after pine cone nuts.

Ravens vs Crows
Here's a nice video that may be of more help than a guide:

I think it's a case of you'll know them when you see them. I had one fly by me at the house one time pretty near and the woosh, woosh of the wings was amazing to hear the air move, no crow flap, flap.

Did you mean "garter snake?"  It looks like it might be a "two striped garter snake."  But what the heck do I know?!  I got a "C" in herpetology and that was over 30 years ago.... :laugh:

Post by: RobertW on Jul 17, 14, 08:24:18 AM
definitely a Garter Snake.  I had one as a pet when I was young.  They are great around the garden as they eat unwanted insects, etc.

Bob, I hope you know how much we ALL like your photos (pardon speaking for everyone). I usually don't say anything because this format gets tedious if a bunch of us add our "me too"s. This would be one thread that it would be nice to have a Like button!   :2thumbsup:

Bob do you get a lot of skunks ?
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: SkierBob on Nov 28, 14, 11:21:06 AM
I've never seen one anywhere around here, but my neighbor 1/2 mile away had one (once) under is patio that didn't like it when he had guest out on the patio. 

He ended paying a pest exterminator to capture and relocate it.

I was talking to my brother in law yesterday who was telling me about an article he read stating how raccoons, skunks and possums have moved into the neighborhoods where there is more water and more food.  They have a family of skunks and raccoons that show up nightly at his house just a 1/2 off of Palmdale Blvd and hwy 14.

Almost no visitors at the guzzler since the rain.  The lack of visitors since the rain really shows how much the animals were relying on the guzzler prior to the recent rains.

This should help.  One of these snake pictures is a Gophersnake the other a Rattlesnake.  As you can see there's no mistaking a Rattler.  The Gopher was left to go on his way. The Rattler was relocated up to my Guzzler.

Just so you know, Gopher snakes will coil and rattle their tails and hiss loudly through their mouth.  To the uninitiated, they might look like and act like a Rattlesnake....which is the idea.  When you leave them alone, they go on their way.  They fool my Rattlesnake saavy dog.

Thanks Jim. The markings are so similar. The heads and the tails are significantly different.  So far here... we've just had gophers and red racers. The latter aptly named.  The gophers have the narrow head and skinny end of the tail. The rattler has the diamond shaped head and a rather thicker end of tail where the rattles are.  I think I'm finally getting this. Thanks again. Cheryl o7o

Heard a commotion in the back and saw twenty Ravens circling excitedly.  They were focused on a drought killed Pinon Pine where this young Bobcat was taking a nap.  He ignored the squawking and lay there for an hour or so.  After a stretch, he hopped down and ambled off.  Very healthy looking and we still see him on occasion.  I took the picture with my 400mm lens...he never acknowledged that I was there.

If you look closely he's looking right at you. :)  He's doing the "If I don't move he can't see me" thing.  BTW, I noticed that the picture has an odd tone and you called it "color corrected".  I don't know if that's what you were aiming for but if that photo looked natural on your screen, then your computer's color profile is out of whack.  I've corrected the color (mostly) below.  If what you see below doesn't look natural, then you definitely need to fix your color profile.

Bob just curious did you change camera position?
Title: Re: Pet or wildlife Photos?
Post by: Joe Schmoe on Jun 29, 15, 09:17:55 PM
Yes, and much better position, if a little further away.  The camera looks like it's on it's way out, however.

My Bushnell camera died a month ago after a couple years of use.  I sent it to Bushnell repair and they sent me what appears to be a new in package camera although it might have been repaired and refurbished.  Turn around was about 3 weeks. There was no charge. 

I've had the camera in this position in the past but it's been some time ago.  In the winter this position looks into the sun for a good part of the day.

The critters went though 45 gallons last week.  I bring up 62 once a week and always pour it all in the guzzler to help keep it fresh.  It holds 140 gallons.  The new camera doesn't have s sensitivity setting and it took 6500 pictures last week making it very hard to scan through them for critters.  I'm going to move the camera a little farther away and mount it a little higher to see if that will help.

The coyote pup showed up on my patio today.  He seems real young and obviously hungry enough to stand five feet from me.  I felt like if I said "come here" he would have.  Instead I discourage him and told him to beat it.  He went about 10 feet away looked at me again to see if I was changing my mind. I told him to beat it again and he walked off down the hill. 

I don't think I've seen the last of him

On animal documentaries they show them following larger carnivores for scraps.  I think it carries over to following people and things.  Here's one just casually following us down the road.  I don't think this is some kind of conditioning from people feeding it from cars.  Sorry for the horrible camera work.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3fj4kSxNi0

Apparently not the only time we've seen the baby bobcat.  After showing her this new photo my eagle-eyed wife spotted it in a pic from a couple posts above : https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/t31.0-8/11227972_1202932059722682_452739814485524709_o.jpg

The little blur in the lower right with hints of a striped leg is the kitten.

Loved these pics!  I found a dead owl in one of the corrals here. Broke my heart. I think it flew into the side of the barn and likely broke its neck. It was beautiful with a fairly large wing span and was white with some brown feathers. Anybody know what it was?   cheryl o7o

Sounds like it was a Barn Owl.  Doubt it flew into the barn.  Many raptors die when they eat a poisoned rat or squirrel.  They pretty much bleed to death internally and you will find them on the ground without any evidence of trauma.  Dogs....cats...anything that ingests the animal that has been poisoned will be affected.  Why I use the old fashioned rat traps and Havahart traps.

I use my old Canon D30 that I got when I retired in 03.  I use a Canon 100-400mm telephoto for 99% of my photographs.  Makes sneaking up on things pretty easy from a hundred feet away.  Biggest problem is seeing them in the first place.

I have one but never use it.  The lens has a stabilizer built in for both jiggle and tracking moving objects.

We have five or six Bobcats we see on a regular basis.  THe "I won't get it down from the tree" was a reference to my former profession.  I knew it was a young Bobcat at the time.

Long time ago.....I practiced over and over on the Scrub Jays to see what was going to stop the action and give me enough light.  Wrightwood used to feed me tidbits of information to try after I bought my first SLR as a retirement present.  As you know, the way you get one good picture is take 200 pretty sorry ones.

If you can call a 2000 LB horse a pet....Katie was one half of our wagon team and was the lead mare in our herd of ten.  She was one of our four Belgian Draft Horses.  Brave as a lion in the whirlwind of a parade and kind as a kitten as she bent over for hugs from a five year old.  She lead with quiet resolve.  We miss her.

Katie at work with JC...her partner and teammate.  Katie closet to camera and JC on the curbside.  They loved the crowds and people and would collect up and synchronize their feet the minute we stepped onto Hwy 395.

This Fawn made its first appearance on camera  6-3-21
Fawns lose their spots between three to four months of age. The spots serve to camouflage the young deer while they are in the forest with their mothers.

Bear bath in guzzler (https://wrightwoodcalif.com/wildlife/8.19.22.BearBathGuzzler.1.m4v)

The large guzzler was cleaned and refilled with fresh water just hours before this 10 minute bath. Did you spot the frog in the guzzler? (10 seconds into video)

Whatever happened to the frog?

Maybe this has been shared before, but what camera do you use for these great shots?

Post by: Wrightwood on Oct 19, 22, 09:22:47 AM
The Mt Lion video was taken by two different cameras.

First video sequence: Amcrest IP2M-853EW PTZ POE Camera
Second video sequence: Reolink RLC-811A POE Camera

Bear scat, not near scat. That's what I get for trying to post from my phone.

I remember seeing deer in town in the very early 70's and then they became very scarce.  Seems like the population has rebounded and is doing well.

It's my understanding that it's a male bear and goes by the name of Stan Bearowitz according to the Cardinal neighborhood.

I've lived on the ridge here above Palmdale for just over 30 years.  I take a lot of photos of the ever changing views.  Friday morning my dog notified me someone was at the patio door.  It was two men one was holding a place card that said "FBI".  As I leashed the dog I thought to myself.. this is going to be interesting.  They said they were with the FBI and investigating someone taking high resolution photographs of aircraft at Plant 42 for nefarious reasons. 

Lots ran through my mind..  They went on to ask about my neighbors and if I had ever seen anyone with a long lens taking photos from here on the ridge.  I told them no never.

So now I can say I've had the Secret Service and the FBI come to my front door.

They were friendly and non-threatening but when I made a comment about a few of my photographs being on the Area 51 site.  They said "What's that".

yeah right.. Seems they raided the webmaster who took pictures off my site 23 years ago.
