There are a couple great horned owls that hunt this little bit of urban forest where I take Bonnie out in the morning for sniffies and her morning ablutions while I have a cup of coffee.Sometimes the crows will harrass them, but owls dont care...it doesnt end well for the crow that gets too close.
I was watering this hanging basket
the other day when I saw something inside. Don't ask me why but for some odd reason I thought it was a turtle! LOL yeah, a turtle. I'm thinking how the hell does a turtle get up in this hanging basket? I ran for my phone to take a picture and this is what it was.
Just a little tree frog. But he was so cute! He almost look like he was smiling. And he did not even move when I watered the plant. We're so dry out here I wonder if he was loving the shower!

Last week my friend was asking how wild turkeys drink since Harold has been using our bird bath as a drinking source. I took a little video for her and thought I might as well share it here too. FWIW the bird bath is close to 30" tall so it shows how big he is.
I was driving home the other day when I went around a corner where there was probably 15-20 turkey just walking down the middle of the street. Bringing up the rear was a huge Tom that was in no hurry to get any where. Apparently I didn't slow down fast enough and he definitely let me know I needed to slow down. Wish I had my camera ready for that look!

Wow! Cool pic- are these farmed elk or just passing by on the road?
LOL, Harold seems to predict the weather since he starts gobbling when a storm is coming and while it's here.
Look! A mutt!

These coyotes are feeding on mexican palm fruit, which is dropping on the ground now.
They are about the size of a medium GSD.
Needless to say, Bonnie was back on leash, to be safe, once sighted.
These songdogs are human avoidant, were tritting off, and only turned head when I made smooching baby animal noises to call them in.
Anywhere hiking off leash I keep Bonnie close in sight on a good recall backed by ecollar.
Sorry for the fuzzy pic- screenshot from a video at extreme 15x zoom on iphone.

I found this dead rabbit here:
I can only guess someone I know got it.
I didn't see it happen. But thinking back I seem to recall a 'scuffle' one dark morning taking the dogs out. Annie was running around instead of the usual 'browsing' and even with my flashlight I didn't see anything. No real marks on it so I'm assuming one good shake and it was gone.

It is a Junco but the body is way browner than most of them. Maybe it's a juvie.
I've heard this out in the woods and it will send chills down your spine.
