HEY! what are you looking at?

A few pics from yesterday. I was happy to see an American Bittern. I bet I have looked right at them so many times but never saw them. This hunter has the perfect camouflage. Their legs perfectly match the short green grass and the top portion matches the tall grass. When they are standing with their neck up in grass they are almost invisible.

I think bats are cool. Nothing like being at the lake and sitting near the shore at last light in the evening as the bats come out and fly within a few feet of you. Or spotlighting them with a strong flashlight as they fly above the water after dark.

But that picture. That's pretty creepy!

This morning at the feeders...





I missed the one earlier where SHE was at the feeder and HE was on the ground underneath picking up what fell.

Saw a couple baby great horned owls this morning. First one was dry and looked like a fuzzball. 2nd one was wet and hard to tell it was even the same species (both were together in the same spot). Also a ring billed duck and a deer.

Saw this in the front yard this morning.

Briefly considered grabbing a rifle but decided to go with my camera.

I don't have a tag...yet.

Looks like a neighbors Samoyed? That needs a bath and grooming. Well except for the tail.

Another possibility is wolf hybrid pet or stray. I knew a guy once who had a wolf hybrid that looked exactly like those photos. That was one big dog! Size might be an indicator, I don't know how big samoyed's get I was thinking they were smaller but I don't remember. Wolves do come in white and almost white. I've also seen black bears that were quite red (cinnamon bear).
