Looks to me that what appear to be the wing of a butterfly are actually the ears of a rabbit. See his eye?

As I was exiting TGF Haircutters this morning I spotted a moth perched on a discarded Petco receipt. From the urban strip mall wilds of Houston nature is beautiful.
Did a bit of research and it looks like this is the moth. Antheraea polyphemus - Wikipedia

This ruffed grouse seems perfectly confident dressed in this near-perfect camouflage, and a butterfly that has found just what it was looking for...
And a gray Junco knows how to fluff up at 35 below zero

Something I've Never Seen Before: Ghost Deer
For years one of my neighbors has been telling me that there are white deer in the woods around here. Not white-tails. White deer.
I live on a gravel road, three roads back from the hardtop, so I drive slow. One stretch of road just before my last turn is dominated by hemlock and a dense rhododendron thicket on one side, and a creek backed by a steep slope on the other. Perfect whitetail habitat.
Coming home this evening I saw an 8-point buck right on the side of the road. The photo above is not him. I found an image that closely resembles the deer I did see and have posted it here so that folks can get a better idea of what I am trying to describe.
The deer I saw was all white except for a black nose and dark eyes. It was not an albino. Rather, it is what is called a leucistic deer. The eyes are not pink or red, but dark, like a typical whitetail and unlike albinos, the vision of leucistic deer is not affected.
I have to tell you, it really took my breath away. I like eating Anne's venison Swiss steak, but I can't imagine shooting one of these guys.
The photos of the two deer I have posted were taken at the Seneca Army Depot in New York state, where they are enclosed on an 11,000 acre site, and where 200 - 300 of the 800 resident whitetails are leucistic.

About 50 yards from our deck we had (it swam away during a storm) a big piece of driftwood we called "Nessie" because of its resemblance to the Loch Ness Monster. I shot a few photos of it and the wildlife that enjoyed sitting on it. One is an eagle with his lunch, and the other is an otter who didn't want to share his lunch:

I found this little guy crossing a local road this AM.
Got him off the road before some *** ran him over.
I think they’re cool!
Don’t know why it’s sideways.

This is from a group of 12 "scenic views" of Newfound Gap, Tennessee, postcards I scanned. I believe they were taken in between 1942 - 1944. They came in a small cardboard envelope that had been postmarked in '44. They weren't actual postcards per se', but were printed on sheets of glossy photo paper about the size of a drivers license. I scanned then all at 1200 dpi.

Though purely an amateur with a decent camera, I love animal photos. Esp if I can zoom in to get facial features, see their eyes etc.

Snake and his lunch
I was in my metal building and heard a racket up near the roof I looked out the door up in the eaves I saw this snake and his prey. The shed has a double roof so birds sometimes net in there and snakes go after them, I have heard them squabbling before but this was the first time I had seen them, no telling how they got this contorted but it ended badly for the bird I'm sure. I use this picture as my avatar on this forum.

We hit the big cat rescue this weekend for another visit so thought I’d plop a couple more kittie pix here. Those cats are just beautiful to sit and watch. Though sad to read their stories on how they ended up in a WI location to be cared for....
I am still working on getting good images when zooming thru fencing but at least some pix turned out ok.

I was lucky enough to video a family of Kit Foxes a few years back. It's Mom, Dad, and 4 pups. They usually only have 2-3 max, so 4 was a treat. We approached them slowly over a couple of days on our ATV and I was finally able to get within 50 of their den. A once in a lifetime event.

I went to Mt. Rainier Natl. Park last week, and while the weather was not conducive to good mountain photos, I did get a shot of a Stellar jay. The lights from the vehicle next to me reflecting on my windshield lit up his hind end, something I didn't notice until I got home and saw it on my PC. It looks like I feel after a good burrito!

Wasp larvae are excellent fish bait... it's the collection that's hazardous.
