Not Ohio, but another O-state, Oklahoma.... LOVED the snow (I'm guessing we had 5 or 6"), but it came and went really quick. The world just turns so beautiful with heavy snow covering everything! I was hoping to have a cloudless night with snow on the ground for some snowy scene night pics in m...

SnowHorse

Texsuze -- haha, I had two cats sitting glued to the screen (one at a time, they don't like each other) when I was doing the stream. I've done a stream of Hummingbirds that were right behind the window, and instead of just looking out, the cats prefer looking at my screen which is less than 2 feet f...

SnowHorse

There are tons of "new" trailcam videos on my channel, so in case anyone is interested they're available -- too many to list here without spamming post after post! I'm streaming video on there right now from my bird feeders - it's snowing (for once!) and little birds need some fuel :) http...

SnowHorse

Silly Girl! :D Reminds me of my husband's old horse (turning 32 next month) -- he thinks that he's always starving, and one time we had a big muck bucket outside the barn door filled with large clippings from rose bushes. The old guy proceeds to grab one of them, and in the process he pulls out almo...

And there's more :) Some cool birds in the first two!

SnowHorse

That vireo species might have been a blue-gray gnatcatcher; Texsuze - Yes!! I knew I had seen it before, but my brain would NOT take me there...LOL As soon as I read your comment I knew you were 100% correct because I actually have taken pics of one with a "real" camera a few years ago. T...

SnowHorse

Chisamba - thank you! The quality could definitely be better, the trailcams do produce decent video (except for my oldest one), but nothing great. I zoom in in post process on the bird videos (and sometimes on some clips in the other ones if the subject is too far away) because the birds are so smal...

May 2023 compilation - lots of critters!

https://youtu.be/sSgfFkeSLu4

SnowHorse

Your image quality is AMAZING! I'm sure it's been asked before but what kind of camera do you have? My older ones are Browning Recon Force Advantage, and my newest ones are Browning Recon Force Elite 5HP. They both have good quality, the new ones are even better than the older ones. I'm actually no...

SnowHorse

Aww, I checked on the Black-Crested Titmouse and it's WAY fancier than our Titmouse! Adorable!

Birds at creek May 2023, Part 2

https://youtu.be/OO5mWwSnUaY

Hopefully I get all the animal compilation for May done this week, too.

SnowHorse

zevida - yes, the Roadie was going to have a snack, but the little snake (a small, young, ratsnake) was feisty enough to convince the Roadie that it's not worth it! I got another bird video edited and uploaded last night - Birds at Creek, May 2023 (part 1, first half of May) https://youtu.be/3G_CPo4...

SnowHorse

Here's one of the coolest encounters I've caught on a trailcam -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LueBAHtmjWY

Roadrunner vs. ratsnake -- spoiler - nobody got hurt!

SnowHorse

Yeah the otter and beaver both make my jaw drop - I know there are beavers at a small reservoir about a mile from here, but there isn't really any kind of decent waterway between here and there. Now the otter is even more amazing - I guess that reservoir is big enough for it (them?) to survive, but ...

SnowHorse

Looks like I forgot to post here last month - here is the March compilation https://youtu.be/lesAqIMgbRE and here is the April compilation - with LOTS of different critters! :) https://youtu.be/jclkqOXvtsM I also put one of the trail cams back in the gully where the shallowest part of the creek is; ...

SnowHorse

Yes, the "pawless" coyote is still around and doing fine. Did you notice she was carrying prey in one of the clips (going away from the camera). It looked like maybe a bird, maybe quail size. We do get turkeys, but it's kind of random. Sometimes we don't see any even for years, then we get...

SnowHorse

February compilation is ready -

https://youtu.be/qCm1FDrfx3k

Had the bobcat(s) show up several times, and an otter was a surprise visitor!

SnowHorse

A new one, January 2023 - several bobkitty sightings!

https://youtu.be/xbXxCF3xv-s

SnowHorse

I also have only one hen left... Some years back we had way too many bantams (of assorted breeds and crosses of thereof), and we gave dozens of them away to neighbors and friends. Then the rat snakes joined forces with all the rest of the wildlife - skunks, raccoons, coyotes, hawks and who knows wha...

SnowHorse

Something different this time -

Great Horned Owls, at night!

https://youtu.be/qre-0qfwHYA

I bought the night vision monocular just so I could see them in the dark - I have been hearing them close by, but it's not like you can spot them in the darkness. This was the first time I spotted them

SnowHorse

Finally got December done -

https://youtu.be/C32DWEZb3wo

Some nice bobcats, and cool hawks as well!

AND, December 2022 backyard visitors - birds and bunnies mostly.

Haha, yeah, the laundry :D We actually don't have a dryer, so warm laundry happens only in summer (coming in from the clothesline on the porch). That said, pretty much anytime I start folding laundry I dump it on the bed (I need a lot of room for it), and Mr Cocoa shows up to "help". It me...

SnowHorse

Probably THE coolest one ever!

SnowHorse

....aaaand the November compilation is ready, just before December closes out the year --

https://youtu.be/OQc5MaXdSGo

Lots of bobkitty clips!

SnowHorse

Blobs suggestion is great, IMO.

SnowHorse

I'm here! I like to read other people's stuff even when I rarely post anywhere but my bobcat thread.

I also participate on other BBs (photography) elsewhere.

Finally got the October backyard compilation done -- they're still after the persimmons!

I hope baby girl behaved after the spay! She's so pretty

I don't know if you're into sports and basketball, but... Jazz is being awesome, and I've been watching their games because of Lauri Markkanen. Love the rest of the team as well, great bunch of players

SnowHorse

texsuze - yeah, the possum was so cute, it was the first time I've caught one carrying leaves! When I saw that I had to go look for more videos on youtube of the same - and there are some nice ones! Interesting behavior! I know a den near where I had the "bird camera" (I've moved it elsewh...

They look so cute and peaceful, don't they? They are hellions. That's the best kind! :D They have that curly tail going on, too :) I call Mocha my curly-tailed-possum because her tail is always curled up... but... hers does an arch from the base, and then the tip curls up again. Like a big sideways...

Canyon - the lower part of the creek is still BARELY going, the upper part is completely dry. I'm not sure if there is a small spring under the first waterfall; the waterfall is dry, but the pool below it still has water, and the water keeps running down from there to the 2nd waterfall (where the ha...

SnowHorse

The red-headed bird that's mostly black with little bit of white? That's a Pileated Woodpecker, a VERY large woodpecker that's also very loud flying about, and they absolutely demolish trees when they start excavating, LOL! The large bird of prey was a Red-shouldered hawk bathing in the creek. And y...

July compilation has ALL kinds of critters in it, and it's much longer than normal -

Yay Paula!

Now get some rest!

I hit a spot a while back (a month ago? two?) where if I logged in, I couldn't post anything because I was asked to sign in - which I already was. Nothing I did was helping. I just decided to wait it out, and one day it started to work again. Not sure what was happening. Now I sign in, and if I come...

SnowHorse

Jingles!

I know it has to be scary, keep your mind occupied with other things the best you can.

Your driver backing out sucks, glad you got that fixed on short notice.

Good luck!

SnowHorse

Chisamba - yes, they're very vocal! If you have some spare time, go to youtube and search "talkative siamese cat" and enjoy! :D :D There's an old video that I've seen before where the owner of the cats is in shower and the cats are SCREAMING... it's funny :D Our Meezers did that the first ...

SnowHorse

I made two compilations of birds only, cooling off in the very shallow part of the creek (no rain causes that....) -- some BRILLIANTLY colored songbirds there!

First part

They're so adorable!

Do they talk a lot?

Chancellor - I have an old tabby (15) that would probably straight up kill me if I tried even touching her claws, never mind trimming them. She's always been very particular about her own bodily integrity, and you will ***NOT*** breach it, LOL! Then I have a 10 yr old little black kitty who probably...

SnowHorse

It's been very hot and dry here (Oklahoma) - we're on day 45 of less than 0.1" of rain. Today's temp is supposed to get to 106F. So I put a couple of my trail cams to the part of the creek that still has some water left - the upper part is totally dry, but the lower part still has a little bit....
