These two were sharing the feeder at my brothers place in CT last weekend. Never again will I wonder if it was a Hairy (left) or a Downy (right) woodpecker. He is ginormous compared to her.

Where's the weasel when you need 'em? ;)

That raccoon is either very old, or fairly sick. Of course, raccoons can be lighter and darker than the norms, like skunks.

Not too long back I saw a road-killed skunk that had no white on it at all. Everything that would normally be white was as yellow/blond as could be right out to the top of its head.

Canal & River Trust says stop feeding the ducks bread.
Quote:

Every year over 6 million loaves of bread are thrown into our canals and rivers by well-intentioned people feeding the ducks. However, this bread isn't great for them or their habitats and so we’re asking you to swap the bread for healthy snacks and to exercise some portion control.
Send that bread to Sally Struthers instead.

Really wild

Awesome!

That last one ... I can't identify it. Looks like a sitting bull, but I'm not positive.

Srsly, great pics! Love the Eagles.

That is a lot of bull sitting there.

I spotted this Roe Deer about half an hour ago when out with my canine guest.

It was taken in a bit of a hurry with my phone camera so results were never likely to be award winning but there we are. :)

Fargon, you've got a nice view from you patio. Great pictures!

And Carruthers, good job spotting that. I guess it wasn't that far away if you got the shot with your phone, but still, I often don't see a deer until they move.

It was pure luck that I spotted the deer. I was walking from L to R as you look at the picture and just happened to glance to my left and saw the deer watching me. It was only five or six yards away.

I had to take the photo in some haste and in the end had to crop it quite considerably so it isn't exactly a work of art but I think it was worth including here.

More than a little jealous, right now.

Also, I see what's beside the Sun Drop...:D


Also: That eagle in flight in post #322 is outstanding!
