following up on my snowy pics, here's a couple more: http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/_the-cave_/sknow02.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h79/_the-cave_/sknow03.jpg

Sheri, (and Vys...lol) The marks are ... "evidence of flight" In this case, the Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) Short version: when the bird flys so close to the ground that the wing tips brush the snow...well, there you go! I have couple other pics that will expand on this concept...

finally warmed up enough for me to walk around in deep snow for a few hours..

Nice Image. I can smell the ocean. ..followed by "wet dog"

I come in contact with it on a frequent basis myself. I wear long pants and avoid the fresh sap. I havent had a reaction in ~25 years. Would I grap a handful and use as TP? --Not a chance. You're immune until..you're not immune. Just my 2 bits, Mr.

Do you mind if I ask how is it you know you're immune to poison ivy?

Disclaimer: No animals were harmed during this capture :D My daughter was trying to pose for a birthday picture with ther dog "Bucket", when our other dog got jealous, and karate kicked him in the yarbles.

regalis I raised from a sling, sold to a friend as a young adult, recently gifted back to me.

Aye, she is a beauty! And you have a good memory. ;) A few months ago, the same friend gifted me a big beautiful female regalis that I had sold him some time back! I'll post a recent pic in the Poecilotheria thread later.

It was quite comfortable with me being there. I first noticed it collecting food about 3 yards/meters away from me like this: When I decided to change my lens, it scampered up the tree, perched itself on the knot, and watched as in the pic in #1

yeah, it's just a squirrel. but an example of what happens when you're out in the wild being mellow, and the animals come out and do their business as usual.

What I'd call The Mill District -- Minneapolis

the info at hand is disturbing...an explanation is in order.

I hope I'm somewhat on-topic here, but locally there have been numerous sightings of mountain lions for a couple of years. Both in town, and Statewide (Iowa). <credible witness Jim Ebert>

Still fairly juicey looking for late summer poison ivy

Got an idea on the ID ? Pretty good size to it -- about 2.5"

Thank you. The pics above were taken with a Nikon D50. This mantis, from Johnson County Iowa, was shot with a Nikon D200
