I am not fortunate enough to have captured this image. This pair has 3 eaglets nearly ready to fledge. The female is the larger one.

Empty nesters eh? Bet they're already planning their trip to Europe...

Likely photoshopped but I still find this funny as hell.

I love this picture!!
Reminds me of my grandson who just about every other day reorganizes his tackle box.

like I always say, "fishing is relaxing. catching is work"

today's critter de jour...

beaver. my front porch, 7:51 this morning

 

[balrog]

Beaver!
Man you gotta dissuade that activity *NOW*!
Those things will damn up the front walk and you'll have a whole mess on the front porch.

 

[GrogNerd]

we have a creek & flood plain behind the house, pretty sure that's where he/she is doing the damming

there's already a spillway back there, so I'm not worried about flooding

You sure that's a beaver?
I've never seen a beaver with a fuzzy tail.
Looks totally like a woodchuck...

You will know if it is a woodchuck if it will tell you how much wood it can chuck and if he could chuck wood.

I knew better than to search beaver vs woodchuck tails, but I think you will know if it is a woodchuck by looking close at their feet.

 

[BrewerBrad82]

People interested in woodchuck pic also searched for feet? WTF?

Do woodchucks always wear flip flops or is that just during the summer?

Don't know if it a regional/seasonal thing or why they hibernate.

 

[GrogNerd]

the BigHair calls them "whistle pigs"

 

[SEndorf]

I still think it's a beaver...….

 

[camonick]

In Colorado, “whistle pigs” are more commonly called marmots.

Interesting.... In South Dakota on a golf course last year, a marmot stole my golf ball and carried it off.
I had to forfeit the hole. Cost me 10 bucks...

Wouldn't that fall under the "outside agency" rule? IE if your ball is moved by an outside agency like a wild animal or another person you can replace the ball without penalty. Time to get that ten back, lol.

You're probably right. But we heavily frequented the beverage cart, and the guys I were playing with were my best buddies. Not worth challenging the 10 bucks, Best round I ever played. Anyway, they made it up at the 19th hole......

most people I've shown that picture to say "woodchuck" or "ground hog"

so, now we're calling HIM "Phil", we were calling HER "Winona"

Check me if I'm wrong Sandy, but if I kill all the golfers, they're gonna lock me up and throw away the key

That was actually Bing or whatever the mircosoft edge pulls up as the default search engine. My previous comment was really a bad attempt at a joke.

Text searches are usually pretty good, images searches can have questionable stuff mixed in. I dont think there was anything to the recommendation thing I just thought it was funny they were showing people feet with a referenced to woodchucks.

For what it is worth I did the search as I was thinking woodchucks had a much shorter bob tail. The only one I have seen in the wild clumsily climbed a tree to watch me fish.

 

[day_trippr]

We have a dead ringer for that woodchuck currently residing in his/her summer home under our deck, the current in a long line of "lawn pigs" we've hosted over the last 30-something years. And that's the prototypical tail...

Cheers!

here's hoping "This Smells Like My Yeast Infection" is available in time for Christmas

Has anybody ever seen LAX this empty?

 

[day_trippr]

Close - but no.
When I did a lot of bidness travel I favored overnight red-eye flights home and LAX was ghost-like until you got to the gate...

I flew somewhere shortly after 9/11 from LaGuardia, it was really quite, but not as quite as this. Good travels.

 

[ba-brewer]

I live under one of the approaches to SFO, about the place they start the initial slow down and it has been very noticeable how few flights there are lately.
