I canoed down the Chipola River on Wednesday. I was able to drift close enough to this young fellow to get this picture.

That's a great image! Good work!

Thanks Robert. That was with max zoom. He saw me and ran just a couple of seconds afterward. I saw 5 more, but they all saw me too soon to get a picture.

Ever notice how some animals, especially deer it seems to me, will stand there and look at you for a long time even if you move some but as soon as you raise a camera at them they turn and run?

In the summer especially. During hunting season they do get a little more jumpy. The young buck in the picture ran off a few yards at a time. He would stand for a few seconds, then blow and run a few more yards. I got three more pictures after he saw me.

Great pics. Surprised you didn't see any snakes.

Last week I did a shorter trip. I did see one snake. I had to paddle back upstream to get this picture, and it isn't the greatest. He was sunning himself on the grapevines.

This vixen lays in the yard waiting for someone to come out with a bag of marshmallows...she catches them when tossed to her...she eats one or two then catches others..sets them down until she thinks that all she's getting then collects them and carries them off likely to her kits...

These pesky animals keep coming into the yard. I read that elk graze and deer browse. From what I have seen, both eat everything

I really wish my foxes had survived, they we're displaced by coyotes. The fox were great mousers and nowhere big enough to bother my cattle during calving.

I saw this on my sister's FB page. It's from the Florida Game & Fish folks.

Good question.
The panther doesn't have to take that risk to get a meal.
I'm guessing the picture was taken when there were grasshoppers on the road. If you stood there a while you would probably see flock of turkeys too.
The hoppers are there for the plants, the plants are there because of the sunlight. There might have been a hatch and that's why everyone was on the road.

Watching turkeys catch grass hoppers is a hoot. Especially the young ones. The flock at our riverfield gets up to 25 or 30 some years. I have sat in my truck and have them walk within two feet of me. But you can't blink an eye, or they are all gone.

Watching turkeys do anything is pretty entertaining. They're some goofy-acting birds.
