Big mama horned lizard, more commonly known around here as a “horny toad”. Glad to see her, they are becoming rare. Luckily we have a few on our small ranch.

A pen full of these little guys escaped, out at the edge of town, about ten years ago. They moved in here and some years there everywhere, some years not so much. This pair came for a visit today.

Well, we’re coming up on a year since we lost our friend Tony. I looked back thru my messages with (about) him but can’t seem to find exactly when he passed.

My next to the last message from him said “I feel fine, except for the …..”. RIP my friend.

I hope to be back posting pics of silly critters soon. In the meantime, my wife found this yesterday 10 steps out the backdoor that I go out 100 times a day.

Reuben_Soady · May 19, 2023

Rest in peace, Tony.

Tony's last post in this thread.

and @Bluehair I frequently find coins laying around the back yard.

The new Redtail neighbors we have this year. We had a vicious hailstorm yesterday that stripped all the fruit trees so I hope she’s still ok today.

Those bucks are long gone! From a few years back

I'm running out of pics so I thought I'd share some trailcam pics of different stuff. I had an antelope tag a few years ago and set up a few cams. Here's some pics from one near the RR tracks.

A random sighting in a couple hunnert square miles of oak brush; probably never see him again. But you never know.

Bonus funky trail cam pic. No questions please

nontypical · May 24, 2023

More trail cam pics. These bulls were posturing/false charging/fighting on both sides of the camera. There's a pipe with flowing water into the cistern between them. I wish I would have had my cam that takes video set up at this spot. No fight necessary...

Mama redtail made it through the recent hailstorms…..hopefully the kids did too.

Linky:

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God.”

The day we were there for the changing of the watch, they dropped this magazine. You can see it by the soldiers foot. Acted like it was part of the show. At least I think it was a mag?

And your Nations Capital from Arlington hill.

Best I can tell, they rip them off fighting? They all had them at the beginning of the breading season.

Really. Never heard of that but I don’t chase turkeys……… there’s a whole lot I don’t know about them.

Bluehair · Jun 1, 2023

I don’t know anything about turkeys either, but there’s a little pink nipple looking thingy left when the beard gets ripped off. It looks like it grows back like a lizard tail.

Sticking with birds, I mentioned a while back that it looked like our swallows might not come back. They were just late, and they even brought along some new guys I’ve never seen before, named Violet-green Swallows.

Not yet. The only one I really recognize from last year is this guy with the black face. I put his odds of surviving until Halloween at just about zero.

Cyclops year 1. First time I saw him his left eye was injured so badly it was swollen shut and *****. These pics were taken some weeks later. Anyway, I called him Cyclops because he only had one eye at the time. Bonus pics for being a slacker.

Camp radio. As a group, this was our 39th year. So, probably 84’ vintage.

Cyclops year 2. He grew a matching in-line on the right front. Kept the nice cheater and overall got bigger. Never saw him after that. He was not an easy buck to get pics of. Usually far away and wary.

I love it when people try to tell me that Roosevelts don't get big. This guy is a certifiable butt scratcher.

This guys was right around 400. He was archery killed.
So never got a shot of him hard horned.

First assignment in Alaska. No fires yet so I took full advantage of my free time off shift. Caught a bunch of Arctic Grayling on the fly, looking for moose and found what looked like a mountain lion kill site which produced a bear carcass. Don’t think it was a lion kill but instead probably a bear died and washed downstream and buried a bit. Never found the skull, yet.

Pretty good storm, for a few minutes there I thought I was gonna die.
