Coyote Again

July 19, 2019 By Tom Leave a Comment

Coyote And Other Critter Pics

July 16, 2019 By Tom Leave a Comment

The coyote came back by my camera, along with a few regular visitors. With my previous trail camera, the noise and the visible red flash would always result in the second picture showing the animal looking right at the camera. … [Read more...]

Butterfly Sex And More Critters

July 13, 2019 By Tom Leave a Comment

It's not easy being a gopher tortoise that strays into our yard. Libby grabs them and puts them upside down on the ground and guards them until I come along and put them back outside the Invisible Fence where she can't get them. I have not … [Read more...]
