Definite possibility. He was pretty small. But those ears tho...

Forgot to post this from Halloween

Grainy pic from my security cam but clearly the best costume.

Saw bucks fighting in Harriman this morning. Twice. There were a few more bucks hanging around watching the second bought. I’ve never seen bucks sparring before. I was unsure as to what I was hearing when I first came across them. Not till I saw one did I realize what the clanking was.


One of these days I need to learn to manually focus the phone cameras.

My little sister got this in the GR8 Swamp: a barred owl.

Almost slammed two deer this morning commuting to work. A buck was in full chase mode and the doe and it were almost both in my grille. The rut is on!

Not the best picture but I think this was a heron. I was shocked it was initially standing in the middle of the Columbia trail
And I didn’t see it right away but when it took off like 50 feet in front of me the wingspan is just YUGE.

I followed it a bit until it landed in the trees just off the trail and got a few not great pictures.

While fishing at Sandpiper lake in the neighborhood Wile E. Coyote decided to pay me a visit.

I posted in a different thread how this year was a "mast" year for acorns in my backyard (aka, an extra sh!tton on the ground). This has turned my yard into squirrel heaven. This morning I counted 20 squirrels simultaneously feasting. Excuse my poor photography but there are like 10 in this frame:

Well, the larger local fauna have also figured this out and we've seen this guy around a bunch. He was unsuccessful this morning, but we've seen him be successful a few times now. No need for Discovery channel here!

Lots of foxes around here too. Heard them screaming the other night. Quite the noise.
