Wild Game Photos

[TWINKLE_TOES]

Jim,

Sounds like a success to me.
<font color=blue>The park and pond is for waterfoul only</font color=blue>
That's probably key, around here one set of folks will be feeding them, the other set complaining about them hanging around.

snapped this fellow on the school bus route this morning. He usually has 4 hens with him. I didn't see them anywhere. He was so busy gobbling for them that I stopped the bus and took this pic. Wish this digital had zooom!

Hard to tell the scale in your photo, Jim, but that appears to be a good-sized hunk o' bird! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

The wild turkeys up at our property are much scrawnier-looking. Still trying to get a good picture to share.

He looks in good shape compare to our turkeys that are having it rough w/all the snow.
/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif green grass won't see that for another two half months in these parts. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
See many whitetail deer in those fields this time of year.

Thomas & Harv, There are lots of deer in this area. There has been 3 hit on the highway right in this area the last 3 weeks. The pic doesn't show it but the other side of the road is thick woods and under brush. The critters come out of the woods and feed on the patches of green grass and the turkeys peck lost grain along the road way.

Y'all have seen this feller before, but he came by again today and I got a much better picture this time. Thought you might enjoy ...

 

[Thomas]

Never seen a Peacock.
By the sounds there around often kinda like our turkeys up here.
What would be there main diet.
Keep sending those pictures..I enjoy them.
Hope all well and the land is drying up so you can get some tractor time.

I don't think this would be considered "game" but he sure scared the *#&@* out of me today.

I was watering the hostas I planted around the base of this tree today and just happened to look up and BAM... there this guy was, about a foot above me and 3 feet in front of me.

There are some more pics of my "friend" here

 

[Harv]

I'm having a little trouble judging the scale here, Mark. Just how big is this brute?

 

[TraderMark]

I didn't even think about trying to show the scale. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
I was too worried about holding the camera still. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Any way... I think the lizard is a <font color=red>red skink</font color=red> and he was a good 10-11 inches long. If it is indeed a <font color=red>red skink</font color=red>, it's poisonous, so I was thankful for the 10X zoom lens.

I see <font color=blue>"blue"</font color=blue> or <font color=blue>"blue tailed"</font color=blue> skinks around here all the time and they are quite harmless, but this guy was a first for me.

Here ya go w/ the local critters as of about noon today. We had about 2' of snow last night so these guys came looking for the free chow. Note the long tailed elk in the middle!

 

[gvw]

Here is another that shows the long tail a bit better - this wastaken out the kitchen window - ah yes - spring time in the Rockies!

I've enjoyed all the pictures and the descriptions of all your various encounters. I just picked up a digital camera and I'm happy to be able to add this picture of a ring necked pheasant to the thread (it meandered down our backyard toward the bird feeder the other morning.) I just wish I had a more powerful telephoto lens to give you a better view.

Up in these parts changes of making it thur the winter not so good. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

[huckflynn]

Pheasant are not a common sight in this area anymore. They used to be plentiful. I haven't seen any hens yet this spring --- but I'm hoping to. I did see a few last spring.

Huck -

I don't believe I've ever seen a pheasant that wasn't on a plate, and darn few of those.

Thanks for sharing. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
