    wildlife viewing at night in the winter

    sure the crunch of snow could be an issue...but humans are clumsy, noisy creatures anyway so if not the snow it will be something else! (no offense to anyone it was a joke) in my experience carnivores are more wary than herbivores anyway so...that would be some of it...but thats just my opinion...

    wildlife viewing at night in the winter

    Well...I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that does this...wish I had a partner though...lol...anyway...I agree with Farnboro John. After all..."good things come to those that wait". However, that's not saying that you will not see anything while you are on the move. Last night I walked...

    do adult minks have any natural predators?

    Sorry to get off topic but I actually did not know that....I thought minks were native to the British Isles...I learned something new today... :t: also the bit about animal rights activists is interesting...i guess they didn't know what they were doing beforehand...

    do adult minks have any natural predators?

    I believe that the mink could be in danger from any of the other mustelids that are larger than itself. In addition, one web site I found stated that wolves, bobcats (I would assume a lynx could take a mink too), and birds of prey such as the Great Horned Owl have been known to prey on minks. I...

    Is this a warbler? Thousand Oaks, CA, USA

    Just got done looking through you bird photos. Nice job! Also, it is apparent by your photos that you didn't need help with Warbler characteristics. Still it may help someone...

    Is this a warbler? Thousand Oaks, CA, USA

    Although I am not familiar with the Cassin's Kingbird, I must say nice photos. If all ID shots were like this (mine included) it would make these peoples' jobs much easier! :t: Also, to help you out a little I thought I would list a couple of common traits that belong to the Wood-Warbler...

    Downys and Chickadees - a suet crisis

    Hey Johnnycake and welsome to the forum! :t: I kind of know what you mean man...I had woodpeckers and chickadees come to my suet and then a Northern Mockingbird decided he wanted the suet. As you may have guessed he chased everything off for weeks that tried to come to that feeder. Well...

    Confused Pine Warbler!?

    A Pine Warbler D. pinus that my Mom christened "Babe" (after the pig who believed himself to be a sheep dog) apparently thinks he is a Gold Finch. This beautiful bird that usually stays high in the tree tops (atleast in my experience) descends on my platform feeder and sifts through the...

    Help!

    I have a problem and that problem is none other than the Northern Mockingbird. This beautiful bird is appreciated at my feeders but if it has its way it will be the only thing I have at my feeders! This Mockingbird chases my Wrens, Juncos, and my Downy Woodpeckers away from the feeding station...

    Size Does Matter?

    The birds appeared like clockwork one after the other. I was walking through some brush when I Mourning Dove exploded out of nowhere with a hawk close behind. The Hawk saw me and climbed away from the pursuit, landing on a limb. I noticed that the hawk was an Accipiter by looking at the immature...

    Size Does Matter?

    Thanks everyone...I have concluded that without enough solid evidence I can't make a 100% posotive ID so I will not count The Sharp-shinned or Cooper's Hawk...

    Size Does Matter?

    Today I saw two different hawks that were Accipiters. They both appeared one right behind the other and came from the same general direction. Both of the hawks were in juvenial plumage and had yellow eyes. I was so excited to see them that I only really noticed a size difference in the two. The...
