Koolkat -- how in the world is that coyote pic in colors in the dark? Does the camera have a flash instead of infra red? Love Mantids, they're so cool! The Elk is magnificent! I think the woodpecker is a juvenile Red-headed woodpecker - his head is still dark instead of being bright red. There's a l...

SnowHorse

Tarlo - I do have two cameras, but I also move them somewhat often. If it looks like I'm not getting anything decent for a while, I move them to different spots on the property. In that last set from 1:48 into the video the cameras are in the same spot, but pointing to opposite directions - so, the ...

I saw some pics elsewhere on the net from SD, the frost was QUITE impressive

Love a heavy frost like that - it's like Mother Nature's gift to beautify everything!

Thanks for sharing!

SnowHorse

Yeah, they do spot the cameras, no glow or red glow - I've also noticed they make a "click" when the videos start, and no doubt they can hear it. Wild animals wouldn't live long out there if they weren't aware of changes in their environment! That dead thing was a deer head - no skin, no m...

SnowHorse

khall -- lucky you!!

The wildlife around here is super skittish - deer, turkeys, Pileated woodpeckers, coyotes, bobcats.... if they see you, they're GONE. 400 feet away? Gone.

So, I gotta have a trail cam to see any -- LOL!!

SnowHorse

I added a new set of video clips, the bobcat shows up a few times among the other wildlife

SnowHorse

Yeah, my youngest has a full brother, and they're only one year apart in age. They look exactly the same, like horse twins.

SnowHorse

It's "winter" here this morning as well. The snowfall is about to stop, but it's kinda pretty out with a layer of wet snow on everything. Our pupper saw her first snowfall this morning - this is her 2nd winter, but last year the only dusting we got happened overnight, and she only saw it a...

SnowHorse

I just realized my old camera is not the Spec Ops Advantage, but the Spec Ops Extreme. It's a discontinued model, so the one I thought it was is probably the closest to the same camera available now.

SnowHorse

Bobcats are such beautiful creatures, and it's not very often that one gets to see them, so it feels like a major privilege when it happens :) If anyone is on the fence about getting a trailcam - the thought of getting one was on my mind for years - but after spotting that bobkitteh in the yard I HA...

SnowHorse

koolkat -- awesome pics! Love the bobkitteh! The bears are great, too -- but I know I wouldn't be comfortable knowing they're around. There are some farther out east from here, though.

SnowHorse

blob - bobcats are pretty much everywhere, except for the north - cold and snow is for lynxes, their paws and general build are made for snow Mountaineer - I was thinking the same - s/he was probably watching me. That said, our "little" dog (BC x ACD) was out with me, and she would probabl...

SnowHorse

Yeah, that new camera seems to be even better than the "old" one, so far. That video would be absolutely perfect if the kitty wasn't just a tad too close for a tack sharp focus (it's slightly out-of-focus at this distance), and too low to be all in the frame in the beginning! So far, I lov...

SnowHorse

I got a trailcam about a year ago after I spotted a bobcat in the yard one morning. I knew they were around, I had just never seen one, except for one crossing the road almost 2 miles from here, many many years ago. So, after testing several spots on the acreage, I finally caught the bobcat with the...

SnowHorse

First - HUGS, Xan!

Second - thank you for sharing the story. You had a good journey with him.

SnowHorse

Big hugs!!

SnowHorse

I don't know. Let me think about it. It's a really hard decision, isn't it? You really should consider. As you know, it could be so unexpectedly fun, awesome and grrrrreat to have two kittens in the house :D Really, a calico and a ginger? Hell yeah, go for it! They will not only provide you with end...

SnowHorse

Yeah, however I don't know how "pure" they are -- we went to pick up one of the two they were offering, and after seeing where they were, my husband who was with me quickly agreed to take both just to get them out of there. I did not see their mama. Mocha, the little tortie point (tortie a...

Love your kittens!!!

Another vote on NEVER another Dodge! We had one (dually 3500), and it was a POS that needed to be fixed in every turn. Most "fun" was when I had to go tow it home from two hours away with our tiny old (1995, 1500) GMC (which has never had a wrench on the engine), when the fuel pump broke. ...

SnowHorse

I had UT trouble with two of my boys (I have seven cats, five of them are girls) several years ago. With the first one, I started feeding him prescription kibble from the Vet that was supposed to fix / help with the problem. It did, for a while (a year or two?), then he started having problems again...

With BorrowLenses, they provide a pre-paid return shipping label. Will UPS pick up the parcel at your house if it is packaged up and label applied? Well they do bring stuff here, so I suppose they could pick up, too. I never ship anything anywhere except for a Xmas package overseas once a year by m...

SnowHorse

Is BorrowLenses not an option to rent from? That's who we use up north and we're in the boonies, too! You know, I have never rented a lens, and it appears that you get one shipped to your house, BUT how do you ship it back? If it means I have to drive 45 miles one way to get it to "a shipper&q...

SnowHorse

I wasn't suggesting the 200-500 for weddings or indoor events, just for wildlife. The pro wildlife guys are snatching these things up as a lighter and cheaper alternative to the 500 f4. I was actually looking at getting the Sigma 150-600mm and the photoshop guy said that since I was using the D500,...

SnowHorse

I think I have a total of three - one real blanket and two thin sheets. The blanket could fit probably all horses but Hank (the draft), the sheets are smaller and most likely just fit two of the five horses.

So basically, I have a few, but they get used next to never.

SnowHorse

She's beautiful, and her eye has such a sweet expression! Congrats!

SnowHorse

We had it simple, just the two of us: bought some freshly smoked salmon yesterday, made some quinoa-butternut squash-zucchini stuffing, and green beans. I couldn't even finish up my plate, it was too much to eat. It's OK, I'll have the leftovers for dinner. First time I ever made *anything* for Than...

SnowHorse

The thing is - most horses like being outside much better than inside. Of course you can always have an exception to that rule in a horse that grew up with little turnout, and no horsey friends, but for most part, they prefer outdoors. Ours get quite upset sometimes when the weather gets really nast...

SnowHorse

Do they have access to shelter in the pasture? If so, leave all out 24/7. Divide pastures if necessary, so the groups are smaller if they can't all eat outside without fighting. I have 5 out in the pasture 24/7 and that's where they get their feed and hay. No cleaning up stalls, unless we get really...

SnowHorse

Chisamba - I *love* a forelock like that on a horse! None of our bays have one to write home about, Hank is the only one that comes a little closer to it.

She looks like a sweetheart, too

And you spinning peeps -- do you sell the yarn you make?

SnowHorse

We also only stream. That said, since we actually got a TV a couple of months back, we haven't streamed a whole bunch. About at the same time our old ISP got bought by a slightly bigger ISP, and so far THEIR SERVICE SUCKS, and streaming is a major PITA. So, we've watched some stuff on TV instead, or...

SnowHorse

Snowhorse, how did you live without a tv? How? Very easily...LOL :) If one has internet, you can get all the news from there, and outside of that there's nothing on TV that one can't live without. It's just a complete waste of time. I got better things to do, I think :) I can see how Rockabilly wou...

I've only managed to look at the first page, but really lovely! I keep saying that I'm going to get into trying some photos for stock photography, but I just haven't made myself get around to it yet. I don't expect anyone to browse through them all, haha :) It was more like - "yeah, I sometime...

Yeahhhh. It seems that people don't use their "normal" conversation volume any more, but they crank it up half way between that and yelling for their lives. We didn't have a TV for almost 20 years, and after we recently got one (it's *really* for watching movies and Netflix, as we used to ...

Here is a link to my port at Shutterstock , with just butterflies selected and newest pics first. The first eight rows are from this year, the ones after that are from last year's pics. The newest were submitted about a month ago - I haven't added (or worked on) any butterflies since. I think I need...

SnowHorse

RTR - I'm *really* bad nowadays with lacking the motivation for editing any pics - I just shoot and then move them on my PC, and then promptly leave them. Lots of times I don't even bother to look through them to cull the out-of-focus ones... :| As far as pricing pics for different purposes - you co...

SnowHorse

We're having one of the biggest butterfly invasions in my garden that I've ever seen! They must be doing their last mad dash before the warm weather ends. I spent most of this morning trying to catch them on video as well as pics - there are Monarchs, two species of Fritillaries, dozens of Skippers,...

SnowHorse

Well, there ya go.

Now add a "whoa" and your regular halt that you do before the crinkle.... and you're all set. She'll learn those come before the crinkle, and stop before you get to the crinkle part... and you're all set

SnowHorse

I'm pretty sure she'd learn it really fast

SnowHorse

I though this was really interesting: When horses realized that they were able to communicate with the trainers, i.e. to signal their wishes regarding blanketing, many became very eager in the training or testing situation. Some even tried to attract the attention of the trainers prior to the test s...

SnowHorse

My old boss used to dig out his can of snuff instead of going the smoke route, it helped the youngsters he was training to figure out there's no hurry to go anywhere, just RELAX.

You could maybe dig out some candy for yourself and the horse - like peppermints......

SnowHorse

It sounds like there's something physically bothering her - like others said. I hope you get that sorted out, because otherwise she will be grumpy towards others - just like us, when we're feeling bad and our tolerance and patience grows thin. For the halting issue - make sure when you get her halte...

WMW -- it's a butterfly. Skippers are a type of butterflies that look a lot like moths because of their sturdy bodies. Some of them hold their wings open, some hold them closed. There are hundreds of different species (thousands worldwide) and some are really hard to ID because many of them look so ...

Thanks so much for the feedback! I can definitely see the argument for adding more 'stuff' to the photo, like poles and things. Snowhorse- I did try lining up with the poles a few times, but I was almost run over every single time! A lot of these horses will run to the human at the end of the arena...
