We saw a group of otters on our lease here in Montgomery county once, about 8 years ago. passing through on Camp Creek... never saw them again.

Not that clear a pic of my I Phone 12 but I just like the Cooper hawks.

That is not a Coopers....but looks more like a Mississippi Kite.

Yesterday evening.

Beautiful shot - thanks for sharing.
It's been so many years since I have seen one in the wild around here.
In the 70's you could hear them calling all around and if you went for a walk there was a good chance you would see a dozen or more.

Well I'll be, good catch ranchman!

You can't be in S Texas, that's too much water. LOL. Great looking deer.

Thanks to 5000' of waterline and a pump we can maintain that small tank. This is what it looked like last year in late October...notice how green it was then and how much water was in it.

This year:


By the way.....same buck in all the pics. He is almost standing at the same location on the tank just the water is much lower this year.

Wow, that’s a really nice ibex.
