Bald Eagle

Posted By Kurt Horsley

Not the greatest shot I've ever taken, but the eagle was over 200 yards away. If you live in Texas you know how rare it is to see one here at all. -Kurt Horsley

This is a wild pig (spanish pig) captured in the hill country of Texas. They're not too rare, but I thought catching this little guy by himself was unusual. Mother was probably not far away.
The pig was very distant, fully 300 yards away, so the image is soft.

Armadillo

On a different note, this was a friendly little armadillo also from the hill country of Texas.

One Big Bobcat!

Posted By Kurt Horsley

I caught this bobcat today in the middle of the city. It was by far the largest one I have ever seen. Were it not for the bobtail, it could have easily been mistaken for a small cougar. I've seen several of them in the past, but this one was over twice as large as any I've seen in the wild.

Cedar Waxwing

I've been away for several months. It's good to see so many familiar names still posting.
With the approach of spring, I hope to have something more interesting to post soon. -Kurt Horsley
