People must think I am at least eccentric. I have to confess that I take a lot of photos in burst mode, so at least one or two will be good. I have to read the camera manual and get the skills to take advantage of the technology.
Thanks. It is my hobby. Taking pictures make me happy.
Huzzah! That’s amazing!
This is interesting… I was aware of national parks being a popular model of conservation across Africa, but this is another model I was unaware of… Very cool!
hahahaha!
oops. sorry, that was a laughing gull!
I was amazed when I realized how noisy these birds can be.
Perhaps some of the skilled trackers on this thread can help me. Yesterday morning, after about a 2cm snowfall overnight, I saw this trail leading down my driveway.
At first glance I thought “coyote”, since the size was about right (about 6cm in length). Looking at individual prints, however, killed that idea, since there seem to be five toes, not four like a coyote or dog.
Raccoons have five toes, but their prints are more slender. The only other common five-toed animal around here is a skunk, but the prints seem too big. I don’t know if skunks leave a side-by-side.trail like that.
Thoughts?
looks raccoon to me. obviously tracked before the tire marks. a little time and slight melt would make them seem fatter/wider than in sand or similar.
gait seems right, also.
jeez! edit tyop.
I think you’re right. I was dismissing raccoon because the ones we see around here are more elongated and human-like. I hadn’t found a picture of the gait pattern but I finally found one and the 2x2 gait is distinctive. Looks like I found a very good example.

Thanks for your help.
meanwhile, in the Conch…
Raccoon, I think; I see similar ones in my driveway that look like small dog tracks.
Happy Lunar New Year!
it’s really a caterpillar.
I had my breakfast an was ready to leave the house this morning when I saw this relatively big bug hanging on the wall. I had to act quickly and get the moth out of the room before the cats saw it and chaos ensue when I was at the office.
Wow, if true, this is an amazing story of interspecies cooperation; 3 species; shark, human and whale.
