Wildlife

[babybear]

wanted to share this pic that I got last night......
Post up your wildlife sightings here too!

we took an early afternoon/evening drive thru GTNP
Saw some bears crossing a field just past Jackson Lake Dam (first pic)
Then kept driving on and then all of a sudden the bears are crossing the road in front of us!
a mother and 2 yearlings it looked like
prob the closest I've been to bears in my time here. amazing!
they also looked VERY healthy

Very kewl

Earlier this year got to paddle a remote river in WV, came around a bend and saw two bear cubs which instantly turned up hill and broke into a run. Probably towards mom. I had wished to see some bears before we got on the river that day.

Did not get any pics.

Great thread baby bear

There's a couple of bears in my neighborhood but it would be awkward to take their pic without asking first

Had a encounter with two cougars while mountain biking a few days ago, taking a picture didn't cross my mind until afterwards, too scary!

This fox rolled up on me as I was fixing a couple boards on the bridge. Pretty sure I was interrupting its daily commute because about 10 minutes after it walked away it came back thinking I had left. Got even closer to me than the pic about midway on the bridge but didn't get a shot of it. Wasn't afraid just didn't want to deal with me.

Got this a few years ago on the way to the local hill. Just out for a morning jog.

Ran into this guy on the bike yesterday (almost literally)

Here kitty, kitty!

I coax the little ones like this guy. He or she is a beautiful red with these cool black and white ear markers. It lounges regularly on the deck.

The big ones, not so much.

Here are a few from my time in the field this season









A bunch more here in the TR

^^^^ Amazing shot with the deer and owl.
We've got a bunch of owls, but they sure don't stay put when they know they've been seen.

[DeathVan]

Thanks
That's Bubo (the clockwork owl from Clash of the Titans), he's an 8 inch Northern Pygmy Owl
He hung out for about a week and you could get really close to him

[BmillsSkier]

Cool thread.

I've got this guy hanging out on a branch over the pond out back and had no clue what it is. Turns out there's a lot of websites that make it really easy to identify birds. Never seen one like this before and thought it was a cross between a woodpecker and a blue jay that was plucking fingerling bass out of the water with ease.



Apparently it's a Belted Kingfisher.

Local elk herd. They come out and pose at the end of almost every day.

An oldie (2006-ish), but a goodie: Caught a moose taking an evening swim across Lake of the Woods near Kenora.

sandhill cranes are far from rare in CA but I've never seen one before at Donner Lake
