If you look at the pictures in Microsoft Lens, it'll identify them for you 🙂 I've tried over the years to get pictures of Pileated's and others like Bald Eagles, Osprey, Hawks and Owles, but have never come close to these good of pictures! Well done, or just lucky! Used to hear the ke, ke,ke of Pileateds quite often in Georgia. Rarely got to see them let alone get a good picture, they are a very shy bird! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woodpecker was in the tree right out the back door yesterday morning as I was going to feed the horses... The hawk I saw through my man cave window and snuck around back to get a good shot... Luckily, I had a camera (as we all do) with me 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sneaking around the cabin in Wisconsin to get a picture of a Pileated. All I had was my phone. Still, probably the best picture I ever got of one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I guess her hiding spot got too cold and she decided to make an appearance. This thing lives in my house and I hardly ever see it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostin76 Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Not sure I’ve mentioned our latest kitten fosters, but they are a trip. The boy Misha watched the first half of the game with me today. He was obsessed with the movement of the players and I guess the squeaking of the shoes. He was doing this pretty much the entire time. 3DC2EFF8-6CC1-41DA-A433-C9B6D64CE40A.MOV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBQ Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Has anyone gotten into sports/competitions with their pets? We’re starting to do some dog sports. We’ve been training for k9 agility for a few months and hope to compete soon for the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 I couldn't stand cats growing up. About 12 years ago a stray showed up to the house and my wife got attached to it. The little kid next door was looking for his cat and it was the one that showed up. So we had to go adopt one. And well there is now. Since I can't have a tiger and foxes don't make good pets, cats will have to substitute. They are still technically wild animals. They just tolerate humans. I did have a pet raccoon when I was growing up and we had an iguana. I guess I'm into exotics. But no snakes, lizards are fine though. And of course there's always been a dog around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
