In the wild: Animals edition
-
I consider myself lucky to live in a more backwoods area and come across all sorts of wild animals. With how global this forum is, would really enjoy seeing what wild animals roam your parts. This morning I watched a fox eye a squirrel for about 20 minutes from my kitchen window. Wish I caught it on camera but it happened in an instant. Not a good day for squirrel.

@flannel-slut oh I love this idea!!!
There is a beautiful piebald whited tail deer that I have seen in my neck of the woods. I took these photos when my FIL spotted it from his truck.
I saw this Barred Owl while walking on the Chesapeake and Ohio (C & O Canal) path along the Potomac River last week with my wife. The river makes part of the border between Wesr Virginia and Maryland.
Here are is an American Toad I found in a Azelia bush in my backyard. And a Ruby Throated Hummingbird on one of the feeders I put out in the spring and summer months.
I love nature and animals. Thank you for making this thread @flannel-slut I think this one may be a hit. -
@flannel-slut I love this idea too! The most interesting wildlife near me is airborne and either fast or high up, so I might not get as far as pictures!
-
Good thread topic! Here’s a couple I had in my library already but I’ll keep an eye out for more
-
@Oaktavia awesome pics man. the piebald is breathtaking
@WhiskeySandwich I’m the type that jumps at a garden snake. where in the US are you?
-
@flannel-slut MD. I got used to snakes, they keep the field mice out!
-
@endo those are some amazing shots!
-
MD has a great snake scene. As long as you don’t step in a pile of leaves you’ll be all good. Here in ABQ we have rattlesnakes. I haven’t seen one in the wild yet but from what I understand they are nice enough to give you a heads up before ruining your day.
Still trying to make it to one of the spots where tarantulas come out in October. I’ll report back.

@flannel-slut great thread man…I’ll try to get some pics of our local critters. Only recent one I could find was of a possum. They are not my favorite
-
@SKT hell yeah man and feck no to possum tho they are kinda rad. Pic alone makes my hair stand up.
-
Not sure whether this wildlife qualifies in this thread, you guys are posting impressive species. The largest I’ll get to is possum; monkey occasionally. Other than that it’ll all be feathered wildlife.
I put out water, seeds and fruit for these guys. Got about five species here: ruddy dove, saffron fronted finch, grey dove, and three others I only know by their local names (jichi taruma, falso tordo, seboi).

some badgers having fun on my cabin in shanklin i.o.w. -
Had to stop mowing and relocate this guy today. Rosco was being nosey.
