Awesome shot! In my book, one of the coolest birds in nature along with the Peregrine and Golden Eagle. Grew up on the Delaware River and had several local Kingfishers that used amaze me with the size fish they could catch/fly off with.Quote:

I think this guy was sort of showing off. Attachment 188010
Nice thread!
Bear in neighbors yard, wagon is his dog food bowl. Cat on power line in my pasture.
I usually see a lot of wildlife when out walking the dogs. Stumbled on a nest of owlets last summer on the desert. Not so cute but kind of cool.

I can't take credit for the photo - it's from the bird ID website I stumbled upon trying to figure out what it was. Just crappy iPhone pics is all I got. Very cool bird though. I watched him for a solid hour plucking fish out of the water left and right.Quote:

Came up behind this guy last week
I figured I would give you credit but that it might be off the web. Efficient little guys for sure, I think they catch just for fun sometimes.Quote:

Running deer in the field behind my house from two winters ago. They are out there almost every evening just as the light gets to low to get a decent photo.

It was a decent year for moose (a few less than the last couple of years). Unfortunately, we've lost at least 10+ due to vehicle strikes on the interstate this year.
Here's our latest sighting... Mom and baby in our front yard.

Wingspan of about 6 feet when it flew above me in a forest. Was not expecting something that big to fly near me, mainly because the forest canopy was thick. I was worrying more about the bear my dog just got done chasing at the time and flinched pretty good. Great Grey Owl.

After my lame attempt at humor, I actually spotted a coyote last night traipsing across a fairway of the local muni. Too fleet afoot for my Iphone pic, but a pretty impressive sighting for these parts. Pro-tip: soak your Pro-V's in wolf urine before you play to prevent varmints from absconding with your balls.Quote:

It looks cold. You should have rescued it.
