Most of our close encounters with the eagles come when they are eating roadkill, they tend to not be so jumpy and you can roll up on them sometimes. In the wild, it’s striking how large they are.

Bernd doesn’t liked to be photographed

Saw this bird this morning while walking my dog. Somebodys missing a pet.

[Slammedsonoma420]

That’s a cockatiel.

[Floyd]

Yep. I had a couple of them when I was younger.

[Slammedsonoma420]

Had a friend working on some sprinklers one day and saw one. He called to it and it flew down and landed on his head. Took him home and had a wonderful pet. This was about 20yrs ago.

[Floyd]

This one flew away just after I took that pic. I hope he does find his home or another one.

The missus and I have nightmares about this happening with our sweet Bubbles!

I hope they are rescued soon, it’s too cold for an Oz Dessert Pigeon!

[Slammedsonoma420]

This spider was towing an egg sack around the garden this morning, thought it was neat after we got over us scaring the hell out of each other at first lol. Kinda bigger than it looks since it was trying to hide when i took the picture, and I’ve never seen this type before

That’s cold blooded, man

I caught a black snake in the chicken coup the other week, but I was to busy showing it off to some guests (kids friends) to get pics.

Super proud dad moment, with the lump of the egg he stole still in his throat.

I sneak up and get them by the tail, and if you keep a gentle swinging motion all they can do is hang there.

I just toss the blacksnakes back into the woods, because I had a pet one i named houdini when I was a kid. Drum roll…he escaped. True story

We get turkeys and stuff in our yard all the time.

There’s a bird living in a tote outside, it made its nest in my extension cord

[breadwinner]

A different jellyfish I just found deleting old pictures this one was extremely dense, not all floppy. It was incredibly heavy for its size. Jellyfish are really cool

[MoBilly]

Is it just me or does this bear a resemblance to Osama bin Laden?

[breadwinner]

M8ght be the stem and a cap I ate after dinner but this is what I see lol. Like a weird rorschach test or something. You gotta tilt your head to the right a little

[Drift]

new mom, new year.

[Coda]

We call him Alexander. He sounds like a damn ak-47 when “hit’s the wood.”

[Slammedsonoma420]

Beautiful, pileated woodpecker. sure dont see them too often(at least down here).

That is an amazing animal. I’m a wildlife documentary junky. The Jag is one of the most interesting sub-species of cat. They are super intelligent and stealthy. That’s a great combination for a predator. Water doesn’t faze them in the least little bit and (for an amazing fact) they prey on Caimans for crying out loud!! That takes one heck of a cat to take on a lizard that can reach up to 4 ft (1.2 m) long and weigh up to 10 lb (4.5 kg). In water, it’s preferred environment!
Shoot man! I weigh 265 lbs and I don’t want to mess around with one!

Caimen can get a lot bigger than that. Unbelievable that a cat will go into the water after one of these things.
