Awww what absolute cuties

They're going to bring you so much joy!

Thank you for sharing!

PICS!!!!!!!!! We demand PICS!!!!!!!!!! I probably showed off ours back when they came five (!!!! what? !!!) years ago, and yes I posted pics of them in the other thread. Anyway, they're siblings, and the boy is HUGE - not fat, but tall and long; he's the biggest cat I've ever had. The girl is tiny, ...

That's awesome! Many years ago my Mom wanted to make a little trip with me for her 60th birthday, and while I suggested Iceland, she picked another country instead. Still haven't been able to visit Iceland. My own 60th is coming up in a few years, so maybe I should work towards that, and bring my Mo...

I also have made some "Nature's Serenity" videos, which are basically just long(er) videos that have authentic sounds (birds, crickets), and nature view by the tiny creek next to us. There isn't much going on, but small details like small fish in the creek, a bird, a turtle maybe, or a sin...

Gorgeous babies! Thanks for sharing

The lighter colored ones almost look blue, but the colors will get much darker as they get older.

You're going to have so much fun with them, smiles for all to be had!

SnowHorse

Congrats! Sounds like they're on their way to great things to come!

Reading what happened to your beloved Meezer makes me irate and sick at the same time. I can't even think what I might have done in that situation, but it wouldn't have been pretty. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have two Meezers (not fancy purebreds, but Meezer look-alikes), and they're so dear to m...

SnowHorse

Yeah, limpy, aka "pawless" as I call her, is still doing well

I've been lazy again, and just recently got the March video finished, gotta get off my butt and do the April one before May ends...LOL!

I hope your coming retirement will be all you ever wished for

SnowHorse

The turkeys were coming around on several days; the entire flock (30ish?) would also come in the yard and look for food under bird feeders, sometimes several times in a day. I just had to keep the dogs in so the turkeys could do their thing. Then one day the turkeys opted to come in from between the...

February compilation -- better late than never, eh?

one of my most indelible memories riding was sitting on my horse and watching a Bobcat hunt a vole outside the arena. It was about 5 minutes and so peaceful in the early sunset hour Ow! That must have been awesome!!! :o :D I would have been so excited I would have fallen off my horse :roll: :mrgreen:

SnowHorse

hoopoe - it's rare for me to get any daytime videos of the bobcats, usually the cams catch them at night. So, the coloring is really hard to see on the nighttime videos :( The other thing is that they're a rarity overall - it seems the most usual pattern is to see one for a couple of nights in a row...

SnowHorse

Thanks guys :) I always wondered if we had more than one bobcat, as sometimes the one that I'd see seemed smaller than the one that was the "normal" bobcat. I couldn't confidently tell them apart, though. Well, I guess we have three -- or more? :o I know the males have large territories, s...

SnowHorse

As the system only lets me post three links, I'll add a few more video links here in case someone is interested :) A video made for cats - 100+ minutes of pretty birds. Checked and approved by my cats! :D https://youtu.be/pPTmcQsvHxU Our silly cat (tortie point meezer) Mocha -- https://youtu.be/mrIf...

SnowHorse

Oops, I must have been asleep for the last couple of months :O December compilation - - https://youtu.be/_qGkusTNO4M And January --- for the FIRST TIME EVER, I had TWO bobcats in the same clip, walking close to each other, and a few minutes later, a THIRD bobcat showed up. I assume the third one (li...

SnowHorse

Piedmontfields - yes, correct!

Chisamba - Thank you

SnowHorse

Kyras_Mom - yeah we do have all kinds of critters!

Here's the November compilation -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDtMkYQ8q60

Including a hawk, a fox and even an owl (albeit almost out of sight).

SnowHorse

Hoopoe - yeah, he's a fancy boi -- I hope he doesn't wander off somewhere to be shot! I kinda like seeing his handsomeness!

Mountaineer -- you're most welcome! And yeah, if you swap your wilderness to easier living, you're sadly going to miss some things

SnowHorse

Canyon - thankies

Flight - Bobcats will run from people, they're really timid. Coyotes are a bit braver, but typically they also run as soon as they spot a human.

And yes, the limpy coyote is still around, and she looks to be in good health (weight wise).

SnowHorse

New one!

October 2021 --

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

SnowHorse

Yeah, I usually have a cat helping me edit the videos, too - and he will paw at the wildlife, too, making my work harder.... :P The injured coyote seems to be doing fairly well. I think she and her buddy the male with an injured hind leg helped decimate my chicken flock. I used to have dozens of chi...

SnowHorse

I'm pretty sure our neighbor has a feeding spot for the deer in their 160 acre cow pasture

SnowHorse

Here's the September one -

https://youtu.be/iyzBqoKIjv4

SnowHorse

Yeah, it got a little close

SnowHorse

Here's the August one - https://youtu.be/Kau7lpLpzi8 hoopoe - raccoons, raccoons, raccoons... it looks like there are several sets of them around! Sadly I only caught the Chuck-will's-widow only twice this year - once in July and once in August. They're such cool birds, and I'm disappointed because ...

SnowHorse

calvin - Thank You!

Here is the newest one, July 2021 -- LOTS of trash panda babies!!

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

SnowHorse

Thanks :) Yeah the badger was like a super bonus - never expected to see one. Maybe, just maybe there's another glimpse of it one day again. And yes, water does draw them in more. Sadly it's been dry for a while now and water is not running across the waterfall any more at all (you can't see in on t...

SnowHorse

Chisamba - You're welcome!

Canyon - yeah, it seems they can have huge home ranges. Chances are that I will never see that one again, but one can always hope

SnowHorse

Latest one - May 2021 - had a Badger for the first time ever, I didn't even know we have them! It was a quick run by, though.

SnowHorse

acheyarcher - I sure hope I see that Hummer again, but it remains to be seen! chisamba - yes, that bobkitty is pretty darn big. I would love to see him "live" one day again - but so far, outside of ONE time, I only ever see him on the trail cams. Such a beauty! It's also awesome how some v...

SnowHorse

The footage of the Hummer was from last year, I only spotted her towards the end of summer, and I don't know if she was around the whole time, or if she was just passing through.

I'm going to be on lookout, however, hoping she will show up again!

SnowHorse

Finally got these done

March compilation -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qiupO1vy24

You might want to try desensitizing the dog for thunder sounds - look up "desensitizing sounds for dogs thunder" on youtube. It takes some work, but if done right, can help your dog. Also google it, you will find good info on it. Disclaimer - I've never done it. I do have a cat who hides u...

SnowHorse

Back when I was working at a barn, we usually cross tied the horses that were being clipped. Sometimes, with some horses, it was better just to "simple tie" them with just lead rope to the wall. However, we got this tiny little QH mare in to be trained, and she hadn't been around people at...

SnowHorse

More like the neighbors need to stop setting traps for them :( Traps are the worst because you can't predict what animal is going to get in it. The one with the partially missing front paw hobbled by one of the cameras with a trap on her paw, dragging it and the chains behind. A few days later she s...

SnowHorse

No, I don't know what it was. Skunk is a possibility as it was black and white (or looked like it?), but from what I saw, it seemed more like a piece of hide, so it could have been from a cow, too. Your guess is as good as mine, I'm sure

SnowHorse

Newest one!

February compilation -

That Bernie pic is epic

Newest, January 2021 compilation is online finally -- with LOTS of bobcat clips, I got lucky!!!

https://youtu.be/L1t1mR1T5mE

Enjoy!

SnowHorse

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SnowHorse

Yeah, I don't have a huge area available, so I've gotta have my cameras right here at the house. The water does bring more of the wildlife in, especially when it's dry / hot, like it was in summer when I first set that lid out there. But that said - for some reason this spot has always had more wild...

SnowHorse

do you follow Parliament of Owls on You Tube? HIs Bobcat vs Rattlesnake was epic capture No, I don't follow them, but I DID see that particular video - it was awesome!! I came across this lynx vs. coyote video today - pretty impressive, as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzBpQ9BLzK4&featu...

Newest compilation - December 2020 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szrpzpVjetA Also, a "time warp" walk to check the trail cams, in snow (we don't get snow every year) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YexQQV78N8U And, puppers playing in snow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp4I5lfiNnM

SnowHorse

It won't let me post the otehr links in the same post, so here's a continuation to the above - In addition, there are other cams from northern Finland, and as it's already night time there, the northern lights could be visible - just depends on the weather and one's luck Horizon cam https://www.yout...

SnowHorse

Another thing worth seeing is the Aurora Borealis - last night there were some awesome views on this cam, which is located in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada https://explore.org/livecams/aurora-borealis-northern-lights/northern-lights-cam if you scroll down the page there are highlights from last night ...

SnowHorse

acheyarcher - yeah,when I first saw the original clip I was wondering what was making the camera to move so much, and had to wait till the end to see it. I thought it was pretty cute seeing the squirrel just from the shadow

SnowHorse

The newest one, November 2020 --

If you watch it on youtube, it has time stamps for animal IDs.

SnowHorse

Great observation about the coyote! I actually didn't even think about it, and had to go back to check :D If I'm not mistaken, that was the young "baby coyote" that has been coming around, so if he was alone he was smart to be careful! And yeah, Blue Jays are pretty, but especially at this...

SnowHorse

So, I hadn't seen the bobcat since May - that's 5 months - and I was worried something had happened to him. Then, in October, he showed up on a few nights - must have been doing his range patrol :) Here is the October compilation - it's longer than usual because there were LOTS of critters. Right no...
