Haha, Squirm must have learned as a wee cub that the proper way of going through the fence was UNDER it, and he's not about to change his ways now that he's grown up

Maybe he's thinking, while squeezing through: "This used to be so much easier, I wonder why?"

SnowHorse

Koolkat - the older coyotes are not as red as the baby, but they do have distinct reddish / yellow areas on them, mainly legs and neck.

Your elk (?) just didn't leap high enough, poor thing!

September compilation!

SnowHorse

Silverado - you will LOVE seeing all the critters!

It's sad that people can't respect other people's property and 1) stay off land they're not supposed to get onto and 2) leave other people's cameras the **** alone!

Just post pics/ video when you get some

SnowHorse

Canyon - I actually set the tree branches there back when I figured that the Chuck-Will's-Widows might use it for a perch. If you didn't see the video of them, scroll back up a little, the link is there. They're super neat! :) And the Tanagers - I knew we should have them around here, but I've never...

August 2020 trailcam compilation!

SnowHorse

Yeah, I agree, living out in a rural area is awesome with all the wildlife around

Here's the newest compilation - July 2020 -

SnowHorse

I don't mind the introvert's world at all - it's like tailor made for me :D The biggest change is that instead of being gone at least two days a week for work, my husband is now mostly at home; he only goes somewhere if it's absolutely necessary. So yeah, more cooking, definitely. I don't cook for m...

SnowHorse

And the rest...

June - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z48wVOkwxoA

And, a Chuck-Will's-Widow special, this night bird is super cool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdByT6PTMbY

The variety is pretty nice, although we don't get exotic stuff like cougars and bears

SnowHorse

More...

March - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl0vJlU8yEQ (this one has the owls I posted earlier)

April - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0L7dLoS1uo

Koolkat - that fawn must have been adorable! :D We've had two mamas with their fawns come near one of the cameras a few days in a row, and it's so sweet just to see them walk by. I worry for them, though, with the huge amount of coyotes that we have around, and that travel the same trail they do :( ...

SnowHorse

Koolkat -- that cougar is soooo awesome. Maybe you get more sightings again some time. Do you guys ever put your camera on video mode (if it has one)? I've been seeing Chuck-will's-widow(s) at night near one of the cameras; it's really cool how they fly around and catch bugs. One night a coyote was ...

SnowHorse

Wow, very exciting updates :-0 The owl footage is a real treat--they are so beautiful. BTW, I would not have believed that I had bald eagles actually killing and eating my chickens (during migration) if I had not seen it myself. This was years ago in NC. Pretty awesome cat footage too! Is that in y...

SnowHorse

Also, in the meanwhile, I had a skunk (?) kill and eat the head off of a rooster and leave it in the yard. So I figured I might as well put it under the camera and see what comes to get it. Usually, it's a coyote, possum or a raccoon. This time, it was a Great Horned Owl couple! :O The best part was...

SnowHorse

The cat is back! It's been a week, territorial rounds?? Hope he (?) keeps a low profile, I don't think most people around here would view him with the wonder we do. Where, oh where, is Snowhorse? HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!!!! Catching a cougar on the trail cam is not just super awesome, but also scaryyyy, b...

SnowHorse

Koolkat - gorgeous kitteh!!! I hope you get lots more pics to share!! :D And yeah, I watched that documentary a couple of years ago. It's pretty wild! The turkeys showed up again the other morning, a huge flock walked right by the camera. We rarely see them at the house, they like to stay away from ...

SnowHorse

khall - a big black cat? Whoah! Indeed with a trail cam you could at least get a glimpse of what it is. Besides, it's fun to see all the other critters as well.

acheyarcher -- yeah, they'll eat everything that's easy to get, the opportunists that they are!

SnowHorse

Canyon wrote:I had no idea that coyotes like apples! I think you should leave a step ladder under the tree and see what mayhem ensues.

Too late for this year, apples are all gone! Maybe I can try it next year

SnowHorse

Koolkat -- awww the babies! Great pics! :D The coyotes did try to climb the tree, too, but it's so small there's no room to get a foothold without "climbing gear" (like cats or, say - raccoons). I did have a raccoon climb up two or three times, but I didn't put those in the coyotes' own vi...

SnowHorse

Koolkat - Thank You, and -- I've had a Twitter account for 10 years but I *might* have five entire posts there

Airborne bears? Uh-oh

SnowHorse

piedmont - yeah, that's a good idea. we also have a few (wild) Persimmon trees in the yard, and the coyotes come get the fruit as well when they ripen. Also, some butterflies love drinking the juices out of the very ripe / fermenting ones, such as Viceroys, Red-spotted Purples, Question Marks, Comma...

SnowHorse

No new monthly compilations, but here's something definitely different - coyotes cleaning out my apple tree of apples - turn the SOUND ON and it's twice the fun!

Jump, coyote, JUMP!

SnowHorse

piedmontfields wrote:Yes, your lovely cattle dog girl will train him well! And so will the cat! (that clip was hilarious!!!)

Yeah the cats are pretty good. Most of them just pop him on the nose if he gets too wild, and usually no claws, so fair game.

SnowHorse

reated to a fly-by and aerobatic display by half a dozen owls last night

Wow, that must have been awesome!

Maybe the fall will bring you all kinds of great sightings of wildlife

SnowHorse

He's a riot! When we went to pick him up they had two to choose from, and after a while of observing them my husband decided it was this one - the obnoxious, fearless little $hit. Okaaaaaaaay....LOL!!! That said, I think Bob is doing a fine job training the pupper, she's teaching him manners, is a g...

SnowHorse

The Roadies are pretty cool, but they will eat anything they can catch, including songbirds. And yeah, that coyote is easy to tell apart, I wonder if it's normal for them to have markings like that, of if something caused it? This month the coyotes have been absolutely demolishing the apples from ou...

We got a new Weim pup in May, after both our old ones passed of old age. You might remember Wyatt and Josie from my old old videos doing stuff on the background. Here's the new baby - the video is from may so by now he's as tall as Bob the Girl Puppeh (Heeler x BC). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y...

khall - that sounds a lot like what we have here, down to the horses (2) and somebody's bulls (!!! 3 of them, and WILD!). No timber rattlers, though, only a pygmy rattler - so far. I have seen great horned owls (one was on that March footage, plus a tiny saw-whet owl), but never chicks. Skunks and R...

SnowHorse

Koolkat - the "better ones" are with Browning Recon Force Advantage - I LOVE it, although I know it sometimes misses stuff. The quality is quite nice. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your bobcat shot, its' super!! The bear is magnificent :D The deer are silly :P Thanks for sharing! :D Acheyarcher - it wa...

SnowHorse

I don't know if any of the paint is available for retail, but -- many many many years ago I had a white leather jacket. I didn't wear it very often, but when I did, I also carried a big heavy bag on my shoulder, and the white practically chipped off the coat. Needless to say, I was disappointed beca...

Got a mama opossum carrying her babies a few nights ago - it looks like a set of flashlights or party lights on her back! :D https://ak5.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/1028390285/preview/stock-footage-mother-opossum-carrying-her-babies-on-her-back-with-their-eyes-shining-like-flashlights-in-the.webm ...

SnowHorse

I do see the Heeler in there - the combo of blue "spots" and red hues on white does it. Our younger dog is a Heeler cross ( X BC), too, but she doesn't have the red at all. She looks really stout on her chest - do GSPs have that? And cute as a button for sure! She's gonna be like an Energi...

So, here's the compilation from February - starts with the bobcat, too!

SnowHorse

So, it's next month, and I'm about to start compiling the next set of videos from February. In the meantime, I just remembered I was asked if a non profit nature organization (Center for Humans & Nature) could use some of my youtube trail cam footage for a short video for a new book. I just look...

SnowHorse

I was thinking of her a few days ago, but I was in the middle of something and couldn't look her up right then - so, THANK YOU for the update!

SnowHorse

Yes, there is an armadillo on that December set at about 20 sec mark. I like to see them because they're on camera much less than the other small critters (skunks, possums and raccoons).

SnowHorse

Haha - wild animals know they're safe while the dogs are in there! You need to put a few clips of it on youtube!

...the garden plot, too, once you catch the violators on camera!

SnowHorse

OK, finally got it all together -

https://youtu.be/yoG_aPPuD4M

The bobcat stalking is at 2:00 mark!

I also uploaded December videos, the compilation is at

I remember in 1986ish I was going to work one morning (walked to the subway station), and the display on one of the buildings next to the walk bridge I was crossing (in a swift wind, nonetheless) was showing -36C (-33F). Those days, in that part of the world, nobody ever talked about or considered w...

Piedmont - There really haven't been many animals to see in the last two months - coyotes and raccoons mostly. I haven't seen any deer in several months, only assorted body parts that coyotes drop off after picking them up from the neighbor's place :| I hope your DH is loving the camera! The coyotes...

SnowHorse

After TWO whole months of no bobcat sightings on the cameras I was getting sad. I just looked through the SD cards from last night, and the bobcat was stalking on a rabbit in the darkness! The clips only last 20 secs at night, so in the first one the bobcat stalks the rabbit for the duration, then t...

SnowHorse

Tarlo - it's a Mockingbird! And the squirrel has an apple, I think, but the Mockingbird nest was kinda close by, so she didn't want the darn squirrel there! On a later day I saw her chasing off a coyote, I just didn't get pics with my camera, and I had JUST moved the trailcam from there! Curiously e...

SnowHorse

Yeah, a cougar would scare me, too!
But, you can get neat pics or video of them if they come around!

SnowHorse

Fatcat - have you checked if your camera is waterproof? My cameras are water proof, leaving them out in rain and snow is OK. The only trouble I get is when it rains so the water droplets get on the lens, you only get blur, or a foggy looking pic. I imagine if we got a lot of snow you might have a pr...

SnowHorse

I keep moving the cameras again, as I'm not getting anything worthwhile. The new camera was in the pasture where the horses are, and one of them kept spooking at it every time he walked by. Apparently the red light IR it gives out is really obvious. That said, my younger gelding doesn't spook at it ...

SnowHorse

By all means take the day off! You'll feel energized after a good rest, and you'll be doubly as happy to see Miss A!

SnowHorse

piedmont -- I love the creek area because it's so pretty. However, here in the last week or more I wasn't getting anything but squirrels and birds. There's an opening in the pasture in a flat spot where I've had a fairly good luck when everything else has failed. However, that's usually when the hor...

SnowHorse

Oh, that makes sense (shadows!). Yeahs, mantids are like that, I've taken pics of several, and they just turn their head and loooooooook at you. They're pretty awesome.... until they catch a pretty butterfly and suck it dry... LOL! We also have several different woodpeckers, plus sapsuckers and flic...
