Time on my hands and a camera in my hands allows me to satisfy my greedy curiosity about the world around me.
Thanks, BerrianA.HobbyIV!
Spinner Dolphin would make sense; they did a lot of spinning and twisting in the air....very acrobatic critters! Thank you, Marta RubioTexeira!
Thank you, JoshuaGSmith; I had tried to id it with my Audobon guide but that didn't work out too well...
It was a huge surprise to see this gorgeous creature padding down the driveway, AsheleyT!
Thank you, antondazomb, Mandy Hollman, a vicente419, and Jim West! I really did not think this was a copperhead but my man sure was hopeful (he also suggested rattlesnake ;) ) My Audoban app on the iPad is dangerous in his hands ;) ;)
Yes, Jemma, the Delmarva Peninsula Fox Squirrel IS on the endangered list. Its numbers have rebounded to the point where it could be removed but because there are concerns that future climate/environmental events could once again reduce those numbers, it remains on the Endangered List.
I did check out your link, Jemma and have to admit to being somewhat jealous! That was an incredible spotting and photography. Isn't nature grand?
Thank you's for the great comments to KarenL, Jemma, John La Salle, k andrews6 and to those who have favorited this spotting.
sth002, John La Salle, thanks for the id; Jemma, thanks for the favorite!
Wonderful video, LuckyLogan! I just had the unbelievable experience of watching a caterpillar select a spot for its chrysalis and begin the process of creating that chrysalis. That chrysalis was in the perfect spot for me to watch and watch I did! The chrysalis was created August 22. Saturday (September 7) I watched all day long but no butterfly appeared. Sunday morning, after watching about 30 minutes, the butterfly began its journey into the world. The camera was at the ready and I captured the whole thing.....an absolutely incredible experience! Thank you for sharing the video!
