Thats just because all your deadly creatures live in the sea.

Aaaah, the good old cheeky Kea

Thats just because all your deadly creatures live in the sea.

I think you mean Australia with their crocodiles, sea snakes, sharks, box jelly fish etc. Here in NZ we really only have sharks, but not very often

 

[Jerez]

You are correct. My bad!

Florida birds...

Great shots of the Ibis!
Are they White Ibis?

Yes, I think they are. And the others are probably Great Egrets.
We've also seen Wood Storks, Great Blue Herons, Little Blue Herons, Cormorants, and Limpkins.
All hanging around the drainage ponds in the development where my brother-in-law lives.
And a fairly large alligator. I want to know how he got into the gated community.

I want to know how he got into the gated community.

Could be lots of ways... Someone probably gave him the gate code. Or maybe he bribed the guard.

Not mine but something you'll never likely see in the wild.

It's surprising to me that it surprised him.

I wonder if they know what's going to happen. Can you imagine your head suddenly weighing 25 or 30 pounds less? BOING! Head in the air! It must feel like taking a heavy backpack off.

...could be a she.

We've had a couple of GHOs hanging around lately. This one is about 200' away.

Last night I awoke at 2:30 to a weird sound. It sounded like someone was trying to break in the house. I grabbed something I have for that kind of occasion and slowly peered out my bedroom window. It was a huge bull elk four feet from my stunned face eating grass at the base of my house.

The area herd of about 300 had settled in on the hill behind my house. Couldn’t get my I-phone to snap when the bull was right next to me.

GBH on our neighbor's roof.

@AKMINK said we had a bear in the yard this morning. Or maybe it was a grill cover.

Looks like a grill cover to me, but I had to put on my glasses and stretch the picture to be sure.

We saw several elk and mule deer coming back from Sundance during the Gathering.

Rodney King would be happy— Diversey Harbor, Chicago, 2 days ago, with crumbled stale rice cakes, and wifey.
