Beautiful Animals

jes, The mockingbird sounds like my kinda boid.

osso, Get that coyote a steak.

A friend wrote to me about seeing a flicker in the snow. Found a pic, but no snow.

Long legs, a graceful neck & big ravishing Maybelline eyes, and on a newborn, no less.

Totally lovely, Debacle..

Glorious and wonderful. And I want one. I'll just add baby giraffe to my list.

Oh totally kissable.

Red Panda

What a little beauty, msolga. Thanks mucho.

Ring-tailed lemurs, mother and baby:

the mourning doves love the tin roof of our garage, a nice roost on a sunny day

A pleasure, Roberta.

I've been quite smitten since watching an ABC program last Sunday night - about the re-introduction of two female red pandas (Mini & Sweety ) back into Singalila National Park. Would they survive in the wild after being reared in captivity? (Red Pandas are an endangered species.) They are the most beautiful creatures - solitary, gentle-natured herbivores, constantly chomping on bamboo - & about the size of a cat. I think they've replaced otters as my very favourite critters.

Ah, I never saw that. I mix it up with Taro and Jiro in Antarctica.., which I did see.

Anyway, quite a video.

dj, The mourning doves are beauties. I love their soft warm coloring.

msolga, I know a bit about red pandas (also called lesser pandas). There's one in the Central Park Zoo. I've stared at it on many occasions.

debacle, Smiling big time. What a pair. Thanks for that.

European red squirrel (I like the ears on this guy):

I saw a couple of beautiful bird species today at the cemetery. I took some pix for the thread - though they didn't come out so great.... (no coyotes today)

Cardinals



A redtail hawk about 20 feet up - low for them

littlek, Thrilled that you thought to take pics for this thread while you were are the cemetary. I like them all, but especially the cardinal in the tree.

Banded linsang:

Wow, lookit that! Is it a cat-like creature?

The best I can find, littlek, is that they're catlike but members of the civet family.

great video of foxes on a trampoline

Foxes Jumping on a Trampoline

wish it was longer

dj, that was great!

Mooches grassy ass, dj. I love that.

Here's a picture of Stump, a sussex spaniel and the winner at Westminster this year.

Hey there gal...!


Djjd - those foxes are amazing - wouldn't you love to be able to see that in your back yard - quite incredible to be able to shoot that video - man, would love to see something like that in real time... We had foxes a plenty at the old house - but we could never get close to them.


Boida.... a woody boid in the snow - just one shot through the windows - got a pile of pics to come when I get home and am sitting around for a while. Not able to focus too much right now - but will be up and running soon.
