This is by far the most creepy picture of a moth that I have ever seen. If you look at the top of the moth you can see an owl if you look at the bottom then you can see a skull with hair (and no this isnt photo-shopped)

Well more of the birds have hatched.n But still one more egg to go

Baby birds

I am very happy to anounce that the Cardinal eggs have hatched.This is a true example of the renewal of spring. However two of the eggs have not hatched but likely will. These are new-borns. See that the eyes have not opened

birds living in harmony with humans

Its very incredible really.Great Egrets strutting down the sidewalk of disney world as if they owned the place. This kind of bird(along with every other bird in the park) is completly un-afraid of humans. An incredible sight really.Its cuz of the vast exposer to human activity that tought these birds that we won't bother them to a unbearable extent

Who says you can't play with wild food

onion mushroom

Yes they are Cardnal eggs.Not eggs left over from the spring egg hunt ( Wow how did you know that!?).

Birds nest

I found a Birds nest in a Bush. Feel free to guess what type of birds nest it is

Winter

I shot this myself

Snake wrangle

survival food

This is what a survivalist is thinking of when they are consuming unspeakable matter

mystery feathers

I found these feathers in the woods. Feel free to express what you think happened. Perhaps a fight?

mussels

Recently I went to my local fresh water beach and found lots of mussels roughly ten or more.

survivalist food

This is what a survivalist is thinking about when they are eating a bug. Speaking of which my survival challenge is tomarrow

Ahhh spring is in the air

I photographed this myself

owls=reclusive birds of prey

Lets see.... where do we start? Well it started when I was coming home from launching rockets. And just as we pulled up to the drive-way there perched on a branch ten feet from us was a great gray Owl I was stunned. I then started mindlessly grabbing for my camera. ( which i considered leaving home). Then pop said whoa slow down your gonna scare the owl. So I "calmly" took a picture. After that it flew away. Now I had been having lots of sightings of this owl. But to my best efforts no picture. So it felt really good to shoot that picture. (By the way I saw a bird of prey on a power line earlier). I have provided a picture of my great gray owl and a comparison picture

Yet another snake

Today I was looking at the stream to find yet another snake basking in the sun. so I photographed it. Now I do not know the type snake it is but feel free to tell me if you feel that you do know what type of snake it is. Enjoy

A huge garter snake

One day I was walking along a stream and I stumbled upon a whoper two foot long basking garter snake!!!. I was a little startled but more fascinated really. I photographed it instantly

More cray fish photos

I photographed these crayfish myself

crayfish those little stream lobsters and my experience finding em

Well it all started when my brother found a small one inch crayfish. I ended up grabing it. it was tiny and blue-ish. the very next day i found another small crayfish it was a one clawed crayfish and i picked it up no problem. I went to get a bucket i filed it with water and in that water was a salamander larvae. I put the cray fish in and found out that cray fish eat salamander larvae (the salamander did not die it just got attacked. The very next day i found a big full sized crayfish its around three to four inches long( impressive sight yet scary). i knew that i had to grab a three inch long pinching crayfish. I knew how i wanted to do this. Grab the thorax and he cannot pinch you like that. All this went through my mind in a split second. In real time i grabed it instantly. Later i found yet another big crayfish and grabed it instantly. than i found a tiny one.( i always found them when i was not looking for them.) please ignore the the

Wild insights joke

There is a part of my woods that has a lot of holly trees in it. So i call it holly wood

trick of the trade

if you want to keep snakes out of your camp while your sleeping clear the area around your camp snakes dont like to cross open spaces without cover. so if you dont like snakes clear around your camp!. now dont get me wrong i dont mind snakes at all.(the exception being when they are biting me and being dangerous)

survival starting time

As soon as the crickets start chirping I will start on the survival challenge

details of survival

    I feel that i need to give a little more info concerning my survival challenge. First off Im going to be using  basic survival tools. The main survival tool is gonna be my survival knowledge. I reckon that its gonna be pretty risky because of the copper-heads that prowl the land. But fear not. I have a secret weapon of  how to keep them  (and mosquitos) at bay. The key to my survival is going to hinge on a piece of tin foil. Which may not good to some but I intend not to act like a marshmellow

By the way i feel the need the clarify about the wood pecker post i meant that the berries where poisonus to humans and not birds.  

by the way i saw a pileated wood-pecker at the top of holly tree munching holly berrys. as i recall the berrys are poisonus

to whom it may concern

the name of the falls we saw at the blue ridge is dark hallow falls

camp tip

one way to protect yourself from snakes and creepy- crawlys. is to sprinkle holly leaves around your camp in a circle like fashion

coming soon my one day survival challenge in primitive conditions

hi im joshua and recently ive been hiking in the blue ridge mountains. and right now im going to tell you all about it. first off when we started we where driving through familiar territory. but as we got into the foot hills I noticed that things were getting much less suburban . and more local. and the area was getting more like mountain foot hills. we stopped to get some apple butter from a local farm. we got moving again soon the foot hills turned into the base of the mountain. we drove up the mountain. Small heights turned into amazing sights. at one point we got out and took pictures and we got on our way as we drove we saw more and more breath taking sights. this was repeated many times until finally we got to our trail. now the prep was pretty fast and we were on the trail. now I was probably the most prepared (partly because I looked forward to it most). but not to brag we got under way. We started right by a small stream. pretty soon it grew into a river and as we progressed there were pools of water and in that water ( much to my amazement) was fish!. Not only that but they were very close for they were much tamer than wild lake fish that im used to. now these fish were I believe were brown river salmon. By now We were taking frequent breaks for water and rest. by Now we were very tired the older folks decided to stay behind and meet back at the parking lot. me and others pressed on to see the water fall. the water fall was very breath taking it was around 50 ft high. we started back and found the older folk still resting. so we joined up and headed for the parking lot. on our way we saw a deer at most 17 feet away I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe it. it dawned on me that animals here in the parks were very used to humans. we got to the parking lot and went home. We got home around five o clock.
