Wildlife

Who cooks for you.

We have a bunch of these guys around. Occasionally I'll see them early in the morning and usually they float off immediately. The other day we saw one up about 80 feet off the deck in a cottonwood tree. Owls are the baddest,

Ha, when I read "who cooks for you" it's all I had stuck in my head as this guy kept calling. That is right until my dog found another backyard bit of wildlife and got sprayed by a skunk in the face for be first time. Then it was my turn to make loud noises.

Animals in the yard

For a moment I thought this was Rudolph...

Badass indeed but pretty much a no win battle for him in this case. One swipe from that big paw and it's game over.

The bear tried, but the wolf was too nimble.

Otters (or muscrats?) in the yard? That's pretty cool.

direwolf, clearly

600 pounds of sin.

The otters and seal weren't actually in the yard, they were a 30 second walk away. The otters do cruise by occasionally but they prefer to be closer to the water.

I lived in Minnesota two years, been to North Dakota, Wisconsin, Vermont, Maine, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming... Ontario, Quebec...you name it.
All I wanted was to see a moose.
It doesn't have to be a dominant male moose.
Just any moose (female, baby) would do.
But all I got to see was a red fox near Breckenridge downtown.
Can't a girl just see a moose???!!!

Now I have a moose head driver cover.
Moose became my spirit animal.

OMG, you're from Westchester too? So sorry. GTFO as soon as you can. It did wonders for me.

LOL!
It's not THAT terrible.
I live in New Rochelle right by the water.
Our co-op has a private beach which comes very handy every Summer.

I would love to move to Colorado, but my boyfriend's job's tying us down here.
Any change happens to his job, we are packing and heading out.
I think both my job (day and freelance) will keep me anywhere I go.
I might be the breadwinner for a while until he finds what he wants to do outside the city.

Dump him.

No photos since I was driving with the family in mammoth. "Look kids, a bear!" Car in front of us drives into bear, bear rolls down the street like a bowling ball, gets up, shakes, cruises off apparently unhurt... that was a close one.

[nutmegchoi]

Glad the bear lived.
Another animal I've never seen in person before.

Stumbled upon this one hiking to Red Pine Lake, just off the trail close to the steam near the bridge. No sign of mom but we made a hasty retreat and gave him /her a real wide berth. We were uncomfortably close, just had a cheap camera with virtually no telephoto lens.

[babybear]

lots of good stuff here
here's a moose that was living in our neighborhood
came around the corner on a dog walk and boom he was right across the creek from us

they recently relocated him though- he had lived here for a couple yrs but this fall started getting aggro with people's swingsets and hammocks

[PB]

Can't say as how I blame him - hammocks are death traps.
