You know the bean crop is healthy when only the head of the deer is protruding. Immediately after I took this pic the doe raised the white flag and ran away, I was surprised to see a little one bounding along behind, barely visible.

Cool pic Ike.

Ha! Great picture, Ike.

Well, this guy got itself a good dinner.
This Heron is all but tame. I was quite close to it when I took the picture with my cell phone.
I saw it catch the fish. It did so with such amazing grace and speed. A real pleasure to see.

Great pic Joe. Amazing the size of fish they can swallow. Right spot right time. Congrats.

He sure did. I'd daresay that's a one in a million shot!

[Waukonda]

Nice shot, Joe! It really is amazing how quickly that long neck can move and they can grab a meal.

About 3 years ago, after reading or posting something here on the forum, I had a communication with bestgear concerning a coyote tail for fly tying, I think. Anyhow, as time has passed I have not had the opportunity to procure that particular part of of a coyote's anatomy for best gear. Lot's of game camera pictures and the other day I put a camera facing a pear tree in our front yard. Deer naturally are coming to the fallen sand pears and we have some pictures but along with the deer, the raggedest looking coyote showed up the other evening. Apparently he had heard there was a need for coyote tail feathers and he showed up without much of a tail. Coyotes tend to look very shaggy in the summer time around here.

A nasty lookin' critter with no tail feathers!

we did have that little chat Phillip...scroungy would be better than nothing but big and bushy would be optimal....I'm a patient man (have to be to fly fish) thanks for remembering sir

Thanks John. Surprisingly it was around 1:00 and temps nearing 100. I was surprised that it was out and laying on a hot sidewalk. He said that he spots them the most often between 10:00 and 2:00.

Holy Cow or should I say Cat . Had to look twice at that one

[doglegg]

It certainly commands the field. Thanks JP.

Went for a walk with my son today over in Arlington Tx. Not much to see but took some pics any way.

Little snake but I missed his head.

Pics of "not much to see" are always interesting to me. That high bank along that waterway looks like a good spot for a group of Cliff Swallows.

[doglegg]

Thanks John. Wish I had got his head better.

Ike it seems the swallows here make use of bridges mostly.

Here is my snake picture from a few days ago. I was out checking the warbler migration and hoping to get some pictures, had to settle for a rat snake. It looks as if it had just recently shed, it is really shiny.

Great pic Ike.

Great pic! I have one of those that lives around my barn. The boys call him Slimy George (the youngest one named him lol). He’s the best mouser on the place.
