I didn't know each rattle overlaps two bumps.
I should think they would get sand in there.

and the rabies injection probe

Gravdigr 08-14-2019 08:21 PM

I think I read that it's highly unlikely that squrls transmit rabies.

BigV 08-14-2019 09:49 PM

Selfish that way, are they?

xoxoxoBruce 08-15-2019 12:15 AM

Maybe not normally but watch for a syringe tucked in their waistband.

Makes me want to go camping and hang out by that log. Course, I would disrupt the animals that way.

Probably up in Griff's neighborhood.

He's using a Browning Special opts Advantage camera. Less than $200 with 32 MP

Except for a few startles, that was relaxing.

Was that a platypus?!

LEARNING THE ROPES

Sir, The swans teaching their young to ring the moat bell for food at the Bishop’s Palace in Wells (photograph, Aug 21) follow a long tradition: the first swan was taught the skill by a daughter of Lord Auckland, the Bishop of Bath and Wells (1854-69).

It is now encased in the Wells and Mendip Museum. As cygnets fly away and parents die, it is the palace administrator who actually keeps the tradition alive, training new pairs of swans.

Grace and Gabriel, introduced in May, quickly learnt the technique and have produced eggs, ensuring that another generation will delight visitors.

Peter Saunders

Curator emeritus, Salisbury Museum
I think it fair to say that the Bishop of Bath and Wells mentioned above, probably isn't the same chap who featured in an episode of Blackadder.

Gravdigr 08-24-2019 12:28 PM

I saw a thing on tv years ago where a man had trained his goldfish to ring a bell, rigged in a similar fashion as above, when it wanted food.

Please don't let my squrls see either of these...

Griff 08-24-2019 03:36 PM

Check out the Nova on squirrels, them smrt.

Undertoad 08-26-2019 09:24 PM

Ah yeh, this gentleman saw a log across a stream in remote mountains of Pennsylvania, and wondered what critters were using it to cross. So he set up a wildlife cam.

He shows us all the various critters that have used it, critter by critter. (A list of all the critters appears at the 5 minute mark.)

Undertoad 08-27-2019 01:11 PM

Ugh sorry!

Pretty amazing that we both shared it and it only has 6000 views though

glatt 08-27-2019 04:05 PM

I saw it on facebook in a private group, but didn't know how to link to a FB video, so I looked for it on Youtube. It had around 5000 views then, I think.

It's a great video, and I'm glad you found it too.

Undertoad 08-27-2019 04:28 PM

Yessir I found it through the FB group for the Hanover Eagles.

I have been busy with stuff and haven't paid close attention here!

Gravdigr 08-28-2019 03:28 PM

The previous year on the log is pretty good, too. Not sure if same log.

There I was, minding my own damn business, washing the dishes and what do my wondering eyes appear, through the fucking kitchen window?

The doe, moseying around at the edge of the deck next to the hot tub.

She inspected the bird feeder but passed on the apples on the table. Really she was *right there*. Quite a surprise.

I like how he just freezes and waits for the humans to wander off. Remember you're sharing the road with folks who don't notice a bear on the porch, let's be careful of those Biden voters out there. ;)

Diaphone Jim 09-18-2019 06:12 PM

The bear saw where they hide the key.

I saw two beautiful foxes last night running quickly across the streets of suburbia about two miles from each other. Both looked really healthy with thick winter coats coming in. Do foxes get winter coats? Normally I don’t care for the foxes because they are so loud and often look creepy, but these two were gorgeous. Quick, confident, determined, and healthy looking.

Diaphone Jim 11-26-2019 11:46 AM

I have had a bobcat cruising through my property this past week or so.
So far he has killed at least two of my cats, maybe five, recently neutered at substantial expense.
I have had my ranch for nearly fifty years and taken thousands of "trail cam" photographs every place on it without a bobcat sighting.
Now I have two six shot series of one.

I think it is probable that the three recent huge fires surrounding where I live have changed the habitat.
I hate to do it, but I am looking into getting a depredation permit to legally dispatch the SOB.

Gravdigr 11-26-2019 02:24 PM

Haven't seen a bobcat in ages.

Any chance of sharing those pics?

Flint 11-26-2019 02:54 PM

Hit a deer for the first time. They're all over the roadways, here, just happened to be while I wasn't paying 100% attention. I skidded to an almost complete stop, then the deer took off running and smacked right into my car. Turned around and they were gone. Car didn't have a scratch, so I guess I just grazed them.

Diaphone Jim 11-26-2019 05:26 PM

Looks pretty healthy...

Gravdigr 11-27-2019 11:30 AM

That is a healthy bobcat.

And bold. Most of them smell human scent and head for the tall and uncut.

They are being driven out of their natural habitat by disruption of the food chain. My theory. House Cat or Rabbit, he don't care, he's a Bob Cat.

xoxoxoBruce 11-30-2019 10:53 AM

Yeah, those fires are upsetting more than humans.

What, it's only 400 tons of Jack Mackerel in one scoop, and surely it will all be used efficiently with no waste. :rolleyes:

Attachment 69571

But that turtle, or maybe terrapin I guess, didn't get caught up in a net as collateral damage of commercial fishing, some bastard hooked him and instead of hauling him in and at least retrieve the line even if he/she couldn't get the hook out, couldn't be bothered so just cut the line to foul the turtle and anything near it. He/she callously killed the turtle.
Make it manslaughter (turtleslaughter) if a hurricane, Iranian torpedo boat, or Monstro the Whale, were bearing down on his/her dingy.

Terrapins are only found in fresh water. Jes' sayin'.

xoxoxoBruce 01-19-2020 12:33 PM

Brackish water along the coast also.
