@@brokenandcraked Here kitty kitty come in the house. Yes, we hear the things that want to eat us.

@@lisaclaborne8378 in the past never thought of hawk chasing bird. Currently I’ve been seeing hawks much more frequently.

They must be finding something good to eat.

@@jdsun1 The others could be close by and might have grouped up very soon. I have one or two videos where a lone coyote is on camera and barking and I think making another sound and you can hear the reply in the background. Could be their communication process to meet up and find each other, though I don’t hear this particular sound often.

@@susanparlier6797 They are very happy to see each other. There are a few more of these greetings in my Coyote playlist. Sometimes they go by a camera to trigger recording and then all the action and noise is just out of camera view.

@@desertdogo and they know how to do it.

@@rileytimes Many people think when they hear that noise they are excited that they killed something, but from all the videos I have of them it is really when then meet up and are greeting each other. I have other videos in my Coyote playlist with this going as well as a couple of individual coyote calling out and getting answers. Also in that playlist are other videos of coyotes playing, wrestling and chasing each other. Really fun to watch them. They do many things just like our dogs.

@@Cattitude48 i don’t think they get cooler than other material, but I’ve never checked that. This bobcat has laid on the pavers in the shade 3 other times that I’m aware of. I think it just wants shade. Last week on one particular day it was laying on the cement porch at two neighbors front door. I’ve also seen and photographed this bobcat twice laying on gravel in the shade of the house next door.

@@TheAdelaideWoman Thank you. You may not have humming birds but you have Cockatoos and other cool birds and kangaroos. I took a trip to Australia many years ago and enjoyed it very much.

@@azdesertcritters Oh nice, where did you visit?

@@TheAdelaideWoman Sydney, Melbourne and Alice Springs. Helicopter rides at Ayer’s Rock area and Sydney. We went to some coastal area to watch the penguins come to shore at dusk. It was December 2001. Strange to have Christmas during your summer.

I used the Merlin Bird Id app to see what those look like. Don't think I've seen any. I'll have to keep my sunglasses on when I'm close up.

They are more attracted to this feeder than the other flat round style that I had.

It hasn't happened this summer but last summer there was a hummer that would drink while I was putting it out!! I'd have to stop and just hold the feeder 😂

@@lisaclaborne8378 That’s fun.

That was something I thought because of the curve, but looks smoother than unpeeled melon. However the other side has areas I think are red. Could it still be some kind of Mellon.

@@stevenlacey1745 I had thought about that, but as I looked at it I just wasn’t sure about that.

If it looks like a chicken it really could be a chicken. That was my first thought.

@@amandawhite2781 they are just greeting each other. In my coyote playlist there are more of them making noise and some with them playing like dogs.

@@bottomdweller5 Sure do. I’ve photographed him several times resting in the shade of my wall or shade from neighbors house.

@@vortexhornet7518 Gotta be careful, those skin walkers are crafty. I read they learned to make various animal sounds but could be that they bought this on Amazon to scare people. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N3QEUBI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ha ha. My kid just asked me what a skin walker was this afternoon. And then tonight I took my dogs out and I heard this sound for the first time. My first thought was coyotes but then I quickly remembered our skin walker conversation and thought about that. I didn't take my time getting back in the house, lol. What a strange coincidence on the timing of that conversation and hearing a pack of coyotes for the first time.

@@jessical.9120 Now you know it’s not aliens. I’ve lived here for 7 years now and at first it was a bit creepy and was worried about coyotes coming over the wall to get our dogs even if we are out in the yard with them at night. Now used to the noise and love to see them do this in view of a camera. Not as thrilled with they do it close to the house and wake us up.

@@DesertCrittersOfArizona Thanks for the offer. My understanding is each one is made for the specific model. There are little markings on the lens and to my understanding those are set specifically for the camera model. I did my own replacement the first 2 times and each time after I put all the parts back in place I had done something wrong and each camera could no longer focus and so I always send the cameras to Browning. The service has been good and they check the camera for internal problems since the insides were exposed by the hold in the lens. Most every time I was sent a new camera and other times they just replaced the lens for no cost. This camera I posted about I asked and was approved to not have to send the camera to Browning and I could buy are replacement for almost 50% off. The camera was pecked and interior exposed for a week and there were 4 days where there was some rain, so more than likely the camera could not be fixed. Since it is a Recon Force HP4 they don’t seem to have parts but must have inventory of new ones, which is why the other HP4 I sent in a week ago because the heat/uv was creating cracks in the lens could not be repaired due to something wrong internally and thus I could buy a discounted new one. The HP5 with same cracks in lens is being replaced under warranty.

@@azdesertcritters Okay, sounds good.

@@Brian-rr3nj Lots of people don’t know they are here. Most of my badger recordings are at night with a few during the day, like one with 4 badgers together. I have many old badger holes behind my home.

@@allitinglz Gets the dog’s attention.

@@TinaHikesColorado Thanks, but needed to see the digging to complete the story.

@@mikemcclure8123 I suspect they might peck through the openings in the hardware cloth. I had also thought of putting the cameras in those security boxes made for them, but the PIR would still be open for pecking. I had put bird spikes on the tops and sides of the cameras but that didn’t stop them as they just gripped onto the spikes. Attaching a pinwheel to each camera zip tied to the back and the pinwheel right above the top of the camera seemed to work, however strong wind was spinning the pinwheel. So then I superglued the pinwheel where it didn’t spin and that seemed ok, but still the wind got ahold of it. Now I have Mylar strips dangling on and around the camera, but since the woodpecker was on top of the camera I got a new idea for putting the strip on top of the camera vs in addition to a strip that currently I have dangling from the post the camera is mounted on. If you can pause the video

Es bueno solamente por el woodpecker. 😀

Where the badger marked was a small dig several days earlier. I thought it could have been a badger, but also a coyote since it was not big like the one I'm showing.

I have two videos in my badger playlist where I recorded 4 badgers together. I assumed it was a family with parent(s) and kids.

@@Lynnie8764 The sound can get pretty crazy. There was a couple times when we were in the backyard for bedtime potty break for the dogs and they coyotes seemed up closer vs down in the wash and I shone the flashlight that direction and it stopped as well.

@@Cattitude48 I wonder if that’s what’s happening to me because usually I just have a couple that show up which is disappointing that I don’t have very many. So it’s kind of fun watching them today.

It took a couple years for us to get multiple hummingbirds feeding. The key is keeping the feeders clean. A couple years ago we experienced lots of hummingbirds for a couple weeks. Had to put more of the food out twice a day until they moved on. Last year and this year not as many but still more than our usual. Our feeders in front are in a walled courtyard and they seem to prefer the extra protection over the feeders in the back.

@@Cattitude48 I just checked the feeder on the right and the glass area just almost empty. I had filled it yesterday where glass was 1/2 full. This is the quickest for me.

That's a good sign. Ours are outside windows s9 our cats can watch.

@@bottomdweller5 I not good at judging their age and they do seem to grow up fast to what I call the toddlers and then grow into the teenagers. The teenagers are the ones that seem to play chase with the zoomies.

Thank you for watching.

@@Brian-rr3nj Coyotes daily, rabbits on camera too often, bobcats multiple times during the week, javelina, badger, deer, squirrels and a lot of quail and sometimes a hawk or owl on camera.

@@azdesertcritters That's awesome

Are red rooster red/orange? This one is very black. Lots of people where I post think it could be a vulture and now I am starting to think that’s a good possibility. A juvenile turkey vulture or a black vulture, which are around the city, but wasn’t sure they’re on this side of the city.

@@Pegasusplus520 I think you are correct on one of those choices.

@@terridickey3896 Huge crow if that’s what it is.

Good try. It looks big.

😂
