Wildlife in Your Life

Beautiful!!!

Theres a BALD EAGLE sitting at the top of a sugar maple in the loqer pasture. Its only about 300 feet from the house and weve been watching him with a spot scope. What a joy!!
QUESTION
DO bald eagles like to eat chicken?

Looka here son, I say son, did you see that hawk after those hens? He scared them, that Rhode Island Red turned White then Blue. Rhode Island. Red White and Blue – that’s a joke son. A flag waver. You’re built too low. Fast ones go over your head.

Youre a pichin but I aint catchin.

They prefer young ones so you'll be safe.

RP just tossed a bat out. Again.

This was not a Louisville Slugger.

wondering if the ultrasonic repellent doo-hickey's bothered it at all...

I think they just gave it a great beat that it could dance to (er, fly to).

< shudder >

walked into the kitchen this morning and witnessed a wee spider lassoing a beetle that was easily 7 or 8 times it's size...

also saw a baby wabbit near the front steps yesterday.
it was using a dandelion to stay out of the sun, we think...

One of the dogs started barking at 1 in the morning, I got up to tell her to shut up and could see something must be agitating her by the way she was focused on the fence - but the other dog wasn't worried at all. I could see something quite big on the fence so I switched on the outside lights and saw this guy. Got the camera took a few shots. Clearly the lights, the dog and the flash weren't worrying it so I got up close and took the shot below. My apologies for what photoshops redeye tool did to his/her eyes - they are actually yellow with black pupils - but at least they are lest distracting the red orbs of the devil I started with.

More about the Tawny Frogmouth

Tawny Frogmouth sounds like a stripper's name.

Damn you're right Jespah - and my first pet was called Tawny, and I grew up on Frogmouth street!

In Australia they are also known as Mopokes for the call they make (not that this one said anything)

Its turkey season again - certain times of year they just love to come out.

I always get a chuckle seeing them on the side of the road (three this morning) in a city. I was wonder - how the h*ll did they get here and why?

Tho I live in Queens (New York City),
I have a family of racoons who parade past at nite, in both directions.

Ha, I bet they're looking for trash -- the urban critters' buffet, as it were.

I normally see chipmunks on my walks but these days it's down to a one-chipmunk sighting day (there were days when I would see ten to a dozen). Perhaps they're busy with back to school.

Still waiting to see wild turkeys this year. They also stop by on that route, so I'm hopeful.

apology for duplicate posted to beautiful animals but...

OK time for some of my own - the tree frogs are very vocal in our backyard at the moment. Using highly technical equipment ( a torch and a Canon Ixus and Photoshop) I deliver a slice of tropic suburbia....







More about the species

Hi dear today i read this topic and i want to ask something relating to this topic which is that What kind of wildlife do you see in your neighborhood, city/town, and or state??

Birds: if you know the type of bird then say so.if anyone know here than contact here back i will wait here .only good answers would be appreciated....

Lawzee! Do you know my first thought on hearing you used a torch on your tree frogs? I'm sure it's just a language thing, but just in case, that's not how you cook frog legs.

That time of year again. My camera's broken but the torch still works. Did this with instagram on my ipad - not bad if I do say so myself.
