Wildlife in My Back Yard...

...Jim Thompson

is your chuckwalla still around?

Yes. But he's elusive. I only see him a few times a year.


I've got red-shouldered hawks,owls,blue herons,otters,possums,and raccoons
that show up around my apt.complex.

I have some HUGE breed of hawk that I've affectionately nicknamed "Big
Bird" ;-)

Owls, raccoons, coyotes, and lizards and scorpions by the bucket-load.

The hawk was landing on the palm tree just outside my dining room
window,maybe 15 feet away.The otters were inthe retention pond and
"lake",eating some of the fish.First sighting was when 4 otters hopped out
onto the grass and began preening only 20 ft from my rear stairway.
I watched one catch a big fish and eat it;he kept an eye on me,but kept
eating.
I got to within 15 ft of him.

I can open a door and take pictures of the owls but, if I move outward
at all they're gone. The closer shots, I was already sitting on the
patio. Some were taken thru window glass, fouling up the focus and
contrast. I need to get a camera that can do a sequence of staggered
exposures... there's software I just saw that stitches that all
together with fabulous depth and detail.
