    Please carry on!

    I'm no less excited now than I was then.

    They are wonderful.

    Now Kat will need to start leading guided wildlife photography tours of her back yard, for a fee, of course.

    Thanks ,
    :) Bob. You are the only one that has been here. These last shots are another 300 yards from the last camera we walked to, the one past the poison oak..

    If you guide paying clients around there, you can afford to purchase an entire bale of catnip to spread around with more cameras. That might keep the mountain lions coming around more frequently. Of course, then what would the poor gray fox do?

    It's been very busy around here.

    This is a mature tracked male that comes by every month or two.

    This is a pretty elusive younger cat. Date is wrong.

    This one is another mature male that was around for a couple of weeks

    Day

    A younger male, tracked. First time I get him. He went all over the mountain in one night and left. Smelled at the community scrapes but did not advertise his own presence, as not to get in trouble with other males, my guess.

    Young tracked male

    I believe this is the female that was injured in a fight. First I thought it was a different cat but yesterday I got a daytime shot and I think it is her.

    Young female?

    Here is yesterday's shot, at 12:50 pm??

    Female?

    This is why I think it is the same young female, just a little less innocent looking . Same small cut on the top of her right ear, on our left. Now and 8 months ago.

    Same cat

    Now…a few others.

    "mature tracked make" ???

    Maybe you should get another bale of catnip.

    I guess you mean an adult collared male. Something must have been lost in translation.

    Yes, you certainly have the right location.

    That sounds better than a cat house.

    Now you are going to have to write your own how-to book on this. Get one of the manufacturers of your trail cameras to underwrite the publishing costs.

    Cool picture of the foxes huddled around the deer carcass. Was that a mountain lion kill they're scavenging off of?

    In I guess two of the pictures of the foxes, is that a fox pup in its mouth or something it's eating? Any pictures of little foxes?

    I'd be a little worried now that the lions are winking at you…..

    @Bob. That would be nice…

    @Ian
    . That was a fawn that seemed to have just starved. Maybe was abandoned. Not sure.
    @ Marko That is a bunny. The following pictures show the long ears, but I thought the same at first. The three foxes eating the fawn are mom, dad and a pup.

    Doug….:)

    On a more serious note..there have been three incidents in our neighborhood that are a little worrisome. One neighbour had their bull mastiff killed and partially eaten two weeks ago. Another one had a mauled cow, probably from trying to defend a calf; both mom and cow are ok. Then last night a 1500lb bull was attacked, clawed all over but he will be fine. Something that attacks a 1500lb bull seems pretty bold even for a mountainlion.
    I am surprised because we have hundreds of deer running about and no shortage of food.

    Ah, ok. At first I thought wood rat, but then I saw the longish legs.

    You're getting pretty good at this without using catnip.

    Mostly I have some great missed shots; several dozen from behind, or too close.
    Here are some that could have been. Then at the bottom a couple that worked out.

    I haven't said lately how much I'm enjoying these. Thanks for posting. So, on the previous set, was anyone else scrolling up and down really fast to make the cat walk back and forth?

    That is called walking the catwalk.
