Squirrel, pic taken Feb 2016

What a cutie!

Beautiful colouring!
I've never seen a squirrel with those colours. Are they from the Spring 2016 line?

And, finally, a couple more for the Cardinal lovers.

First is a Cardinal hiding in the trees.

Next, photobombing a shot of a Snowshoe Hare. Because, obviously, the photo would have otherwise lacked flare.

OMG december-fire, that photobomb picture is too much!!!!!!

Coyote on the railroad viaduct about 20 feet outside my back door last evening. He was totally aware of us, but not at all skittish. Keep in mind I live about a mile and a half from the Sears Tower!

Time to bring the cat in for the night!

What a great thread!

I feel like there's something I'm forgetting to do.

This is our neighbourhood owl. Sorry for the bad photos but she didn't choose her nest location with my ease in mind

And the ibis.

 

[Marquise_Madness]

I should take photos more often.

How precious! My neighborhood has some aggressive turkeys... and they're pretty famous. http://www.citypages.com/news/meet-the-northeast-minneapolis-urban-turkeys-video-6555323

Snowshoe Hare

Oh my Goodness that hare is beautiful!




I'm a rabbit owner, and I am melting over how cute that is!

 

[Dee*Jay]

Marquise Madness, love the pics! If the watermarks contain your real name you may want to take that info down. If it's too late to remove/edit your post you can use the "report concern" button to message admin and ask for assistance. Just my two cents!

Yep, real name. I may do that just to be safe.

AHHHHHHHH burrowing owls?!!??! Where do you live? You're very lucky! One of my favorite species!

What amazing owl photos!

The 'Mama and baby' photo is soooo perfect!

And I love the ibis photos! What interesting birds!

Thank you so much for sharing these with us!

Marquise Madness,

Your bunny is absolutely adorable! What a little cutie!

So different from the appropriately-named Snowshoe Hare with its incredible front and back paws!

I've had pet rabbits over the years, but they were larger than your little sweetheart!

What kind of bunny is she (he?)?

And is that your pup in the photo?

S/he looks so sweet! And what a cute photo with the frog on the mushroom!

Thank you for sharing your lovely photos!

Thank you! His name is Yoda and he's a rescue bun, but I think he's a Holland Lop/Dwarf/Hotot mix. He moves his ears up or down, depending on his mood. They're usually down.

The dog mine (well, family dog who is with my parents), her name is Dottie, and she's a peekapoo (Pekingese and Poodle mix). She was probably 5 years old in the photo.

Thanks so much!

They are so much fun to watch! I am in Brasília and there are plenty of them around. During nesting season, we see burrows in the most unlikely of spots, such as on the grass at the center of a roundabout.

Dee Jay, he looks well feed. He is probably used to lots of people and activity around. The coyotes around here are pretty scrawny.

Matata,

I love these photos!

I visited Ireland, but didn't take the boat tour you mentioned or see that wonderful bridge!

I loved everything about Ireland; the landscape, people, music, buildings, everything!

I was so impressed with the sheep dog demonstration! I remember learning that there were specific whistles for each dog, so that some could be instructed to herd some sheep while other dogs held their positions. Amazing!

Thanks for sharing your photos and reminding me of a fabulous time!
