We've heard coyotes around here, but we haven't seen any. Our back yard has seen other wildlife, though: red fox the first year, but not anymore; turkeys, deer, squirrels, of course. Have yet to see the different owls that keep us entertained at night, though.
*********************
Our sun room got warm enough today for me to sit out there and enjoy a cup of tea while reading. I noticed, though, that the snow from the roof had formed a nice awning extending beyond the roof's edge. Right after I took this picture, the snow protrusion snapped off and crashed to the ground.I won't ever get used to that sound!
I used to have a lake property that was located in a national forest. I would go down there and every single day I would see deer walk through the yard. We would often see grey foxes pass through, too. My wife and I were driving to the store one day, and a red fox was in the middle of our street. We stopped and just stared at it, while it stared at us. What a beautiful animal. We just sat there in the car, completely silent.
We have coyotes and bobcats where I live, too, but they don't mess with psycho poodle. He would want to play with them, up to a point. Beyond that point, where play turns into sharp teeth, he'd kill them. I've only seen him open a can of woopass once -- he won. I was walking him on a leash, It was a dog about twice his size that had an attitude problem. It was on a leash, too, but the owner lost control of it. Her dog learned a valuable lesson that day about not starting something you can't finish.
Psycho poodle's very best friend is a cat, believe it or not.

I see fox fairly often, coyotes not so much anymore - certainly hear them though, deer are often in my paddocks, wild turkeys pass thru my back yard and once I saw a bear crossing the road as I was pulling out of my driveway. That was very unusual, rare to see them here.
these are from a couple of years ago and the enlarge feature was rather limited.
and this guy was asleep beside the highway, only opened his eyes when he heard my car stop. He was there when I went out and still there on my way back about 45 min. later.

Andy! I know that critter! Haven't seen one in a long time around here.
It's a No-Eared Long tailed Spineless Porcupine. The water version.
Ha! Thought you could fool me, didn'tcha.

I'm enjoying the pics! Especially the snowy ones with critters. Great pics, dragn!
Andy...those are some big ol' lizards! Nice view of the ocean in Aruba, too.
This is one of my fave threads - aside from 'what's for dinner'.
Sunset a couple of nights ago, from my front yard. I thought it was purdy.

The only critters I've seen lately when I had my camera handy was a cattle drive. One cowboy and his dog with about a dozen cattle:
Then a couple of days later they were doing some maintenance at the wind farm. It's hard to judge the size of these things until you get close. Those mobile cranes look like toy trucks next to the blades:
Then for a little more variety, I saw this in the parking lot at the hardware store:

Ooops!
I thought that was a little too blue for ocean, but wasn't sure. Beautiful timeshare!

Due to the loss of their terrain, folks in the city now get to see wildlife all the time. They are no long limited to the countryside. We even get a moose or two that thinks those tall buildings are for attacking when they see their reflection in the glass door or on the side of a shiny car.
One day when my son was walking Teddy, a hawk came down out of the sky to take what looked like a very small white rabbit for dinner. Spike grabbed Teddy just in time in his arms. We now also have Bald Eagles being spotted in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston. And little by little they are spreading out to other sections of the city. All you have to do is look for them near water with surrounding tall trees.

The Blue Angels have been out stretching their wings over this area for the past few days for an air show this weekend. It's amazing watching some of the greatest pilots in the world from my back yard!
My 6 year old grandson Tyler is at a Meet and Greet with them this evening, and so hoping to get an autograph. Especially from the Pilot of Blue Angel #6, whose name is also Tyler.

The Blue Angels are so impressive! One of my roommate's boyfriends took me to Friends and Family Day when I was in college (they were both in the military, I was the "stand-in girlfriend"), and they were amazing!

My friend Cathy went to Friends and Family Day today - she got sunburned in this sunny 80's weather, but was floored by their spectacular aerial acrobatics. The last time I saw the Blue Angels, my heart skipped a beat several times!

You got to see that from your backyard, Cheryl? That's pretty cool!

CG, we used to have a Naval Air Base located in Weymouth. It is now all condos. They used to have a team similar but not as good. And only four planes. And the show was much shorter. Too bad we lost it. The kids loved it. We used to call them Green (with envy and experience) Angels.

Yes, the first two were from my yard, there happened to be a break in the tree line just where they were flying. I cropped out my neighbor's chimney from both of them.
The third one was from up the road a couple of miles.

Thank you, Rick. I'm keeping my phone battery charged and hope to get a lot more pics. I'll share a couple more if they turn out well.
