Backyard Wildlife

Boys are warming up for the big event

They had better grow a bit if they're hankering for a go at the big 3 point. That's a big-body buck.

Just showed up on my wildlife cam alongside our house tonight. It then came around the corner and walked across our deck just outside the dining room sliding glass door. Beautiful cat.

Living in the 'burbs, one does not know what lives in the area. Cameras catch a lot more than we would expect!

I and my family have seen bears, cougars, opossums, raccoons, and bobcats in person.

Cameras may be a good thing --> or not... LOL

yeah - nobody gonna mess with him except maybe this guy but I have not seen him in a while

Nope. I was referring to Stout Boy bedded in your other vid. Tall Boy is pretty chunky too.

this one is wide boy - he is by far the heaviest animal in the group.

Thanks! I stand corrected.

Behind our rental in urban Pittsburgh, barely moved when I went to park where the upper doe is standing

I snapped this photo of the neighborhood stud muffin in the next door neighbor's driveway. He's truly a magnificent coastal blacktail buck.

Not my backyard but in a very urban small creek. Ran errands by the store next to it and took a peek in it and sure enough…Sockeye!

Nice find! I don’t know where that was but based on the habitat description and guessing it was in the Puget Sound basin, odds are pretty good that’s a male coho.

North end of Lake Washington area. Coho was a possibility, but this one had a distinct olive green head and had that hen sockeye look.

Whether it’s a Cedar River stray, I don’t know…

That’s one of the few areas around here where sockeye do get in the mix and I should rely on the eye witness! Cool stuff.
