Viking Mississippi just backed out from shore and is powering up.

OK, I've found and exceeded the limits of the Google Pixel 7 Pro camera. I was well zoomed on this fella.

Another one - no processing other than a crop and size reduction. I'm a bit happier with the shot, as he's scratching hard here - but the loss of sharpness with the zoom is apparent. The camera is good for happy snaps, but bloody hell, the form factor is hopeless compared to a DSLR

[Jimmy W]

The Viking Mississippi photo above was from a Pixel 7, but not the Pro.

Blurred thing in center of following was a bird, I think an owl. Not from phone.

abc deer leg?

not fergus' work. found in the brush. i did not look for the carcass, not wanting to impress the experience more than necessary.

gnawed on previously by coyote, most likely.

there have also been numerous sightings of a relatively large bobcat in the hood. i suppose a bobcat could take a blacktail yearling?

or...could be scavenged from a roadkill by any number of suspects.

Several years back, my dog brought home a deer head with some small non-typical anthers. Around here most deer remains are from hunters throwing them out after dressing the deer.

Meantime:

ROGERS, Ark. —

A dog found a human foot in Benton County on Sunday.
The body part was brought to Fire Station One in downtown Rogers, Tim Jenkins, fire chief, told 40/29 News.

Firefighters handed it over to the police for further investigation.

A couple of unusual visitors yesterday. We've seen them time to time ranging in the driveway and on a trail cam.
20230314_164044.jpg
A friend announced that they're baby turkeys. She has a lot of experience with turkeys, so who am I to argue.

[Garret]

They do look like turkeys. Maybe not babies (babies are round fuzzballs) - but preteens?

[L.W. Baxter]

almost done with "my" bathroom (the smaller one on the far end of the house)

hung the magazine rack today and yes, if you are wondering, that is interlux brightside polyeurethane black #4258.

[JayInOz]

You have the magazine rack behind you? At best I would do myself a mischief trying to get a mag out of there. At worst ... no lets not go there.

[L.W. Baxter]

i'm not putting it down to the side of the toilet where somebody might pee on it jay

They're actually Golden pheasant juveniles, but if my buddy Suzy says they're turkeys then .......

[JayInOz]

"They're actually Golden pheasant juveniles, but if my buddy Suzy says they're turkeys then ......."

I thought they looked like something I saw on Jurassic Park. Look for Mums eyes peering through the shrubbery at you- about eight feet up if it's a little one

It's your toilet Lee. You're not afraid of a little pee on your fingers are you? Why many's the time......

Did you take the cogwheel train up to the Jungfrau, Gary? That's a goal one of these days...but I've gotta get my @ss over to Europe with some free time, first
