truly wild pictures!!

[AngelaB]

I have tons and tons of picures of wild life. It's a hobby of mine

Here are a couple that I found quickly.

A hawk that got a wood pecker in my yard

A calf at our family's farm

Some geese on Lake Huron, in the Thumb of Michigan

I have tons of pics of birds. These were taken through a screen door, because they were right outside, I couldn't open it.

Great Horn Fledgeling

We bought the farm a year and a half ago, it had been empty for a couple of years, & they had nested in a hollow tree. The tree is still there, but we moved in and there was just too much going on for them to return.

I heard one again a few nights ago out by the chicken coop, so I know they still visit occasionally....

Trailchick.....nice pics....the GHO are great to have around they kill alot of other night time predators, raccoon,fox, stray cats, even skucks. I caught one in a live trap, did release it. Just make sure birds are locked up at night.


Be carefull around a nest.......they have been known to attack people , getting near their nest.

Is the GHO endangered at all? I just remember as a kid hearing them all the time at night. Now... nothing.

And now that I think about it... same with the bobwhite quail.

Anyway, just curious.

We used to hear bobwhites here all the time too, suburbia moved in, they moved out. I think every owl got the memo, because my house is over a territory line. About twice a year there is a hootanany. and I can hear at least three different calls.

I haven't heard one in years. I know the Missouri Conservation is trying to get people to not mow their fields so the natural grasses can grow. The highways and parks have stopped mowing certain areas. I hope that's helping. It's sad.

Quakerjack come for a cold beverage some evening. I have one in my neighborhood I hear all the time. On a few occasions he has spent the day roosting in one of my oaks. One time I was out around the chicken pen and the chickens started acting spooky, that tail up, wings downs, neck feathers on end look. They all started looking upward. Of course I looked too. It took me several minutes to spot the owl. He had probably been the all morning and it took the hens several hours to spot him. He was very difficult to pick out against the trunk of the tree.
