The Chupacabra can only be photographed at night ...I thought everyone knew that.

It is a peacock. He was perched beautifully on the branch , the photo was him flying to the ground,

Ahhh. Nice!
Got faked out by the blurry head looking froggy!
No I did not know that about chupacabra...
I'm more of a sasquatch kinda guy.

Now we just need a good solid find on remains, skull, teeth, skeleton and dna.

Thats the mystery...with all the lore and sightings...why nothing substantive?

Guess we need to start a new thread under Off Topic...

Our area is big on sasquatch. You'd dig it here. https://weirdandwildwest.substack.com/p/the-wolf-creek-wild-man

They use portals...they only come here for the fresh air.

Not a chupacabra...too far east...

annndd here is that new thread landing page:
Under Hott Topics so its hidden from roving webcrawlers, AIs, unofficial lurkers without the super spy decoder ring from @JanS

https://doberman-chat.com/threads/s...sey-devils-and-others-latest-sightings.40136/

Teaser: for you NM and SW CO folks:
Is it true what the Navajo say? That the Hopi opened the crack on the earth to let the SkinWalkers in?
Or the other way around? Hmmm.

PS: @Sunje I do like the Four Corners area and all around. Its a place of great Power, it is said.

I've heard that too, about this area. Apparently the Chromo area where I live is the site of UFO sightings, and apparently Bigfoot too. A good friend and musical mentor's band is called "The Jackson Mountain Ramblers" and they play locally a lot. Very talented group! Their logo is of Bigfoot walking through a forest. I was today years old when I learned that the Bigfoot spotted near Wolf Creek Pass was actually spotted near/on Jackson Mountain along Wolf Creek Pass. So they adopted the logo and name as their own.

They have this one by the end of the runway at our local airport.

Watering my impatiens flowers and saw this little guy. So cute!

That last photo! Beautiful!

The creek is becoming our go to place.

This guy was very brave with me taking photos. A couple of times when I got too close he'd Fly Away, but not far, and then come right back. Looks like he's missing part of a wing . I see so many butterflies like that.

One of our resident eagles, (we have an eagle nest tree on our property) fractured his coracoid last year, and our dog alerted us. We rescued him, he went to the raptor center for rehabilitation and they released him. He's back here, reunited with his mate and a juvenile offspring. Nice to see him still feeling at home here after such an ordeal.

How great is that?

The Pair of juvenile Great Horned Owls hatched and living in the forest where we walk nearby appear to be doing ok.

They are intrigued by Bonnie and appear to be interested in my sorry imitations of adult calls: soft low hoots (which is sort of odd from these big birds...) its more like cooing of a mourning dove almost...

or will reply to imitations of juvenile begging calls, with same.

They will fly from perch to perch following Bonnie...who is interested in gopher holes.

I've seen owls and raptors circling over, almost as if cooperative hunting with coyotes hunting mice late in the day in grass lands in the suburban areas of open space preserves...or maybe just looking for a lucky catch of a bunny spooked into a dash.

I wonder if thats an inherited trait or a learned behavior?

Toy Squatch

They probably smell alike. I think we startled him so he "skunked" us! What is it about that smell? It actually hurts your nose!
