I don't have any pictures but I could confess to a few sitings.
I've seen stink bugs, possums, snakes, rabbits, deer, heard coyotes
in the distance, saw mountain lion poop, lizards, pigs, chickens, roosters,
peacocks, and so many others that didn't make it on this list......

Bird sitings:

blue herring (I think) at Camamche Lake
A geese at Loon Lake
More Geese
What is it? A pheasant or turkey and Lake McClure
I think turkey vulture crossing at Laffeyatte Reservoir...

Looks like the rattler picture is a Mojave Rattlesnake.

Yeah, the other snake is a California King snake, probably looking for that Mojave rattler to have for lunch!

[BIGRED KILLA]

Those are some good shots of the snakes i had a king snake for a while when i first bought him i put it in with the corn snake almost had him for lunch.lol

What kind of camera did you use to take those photos PHISHnuts

My very first and only digital camera, I believe it's a 2 megapixel Kodak easyshare camera. It's not the greatest but it gets the job done....I really want to invest in a better camera soon.

Your pics are really cool Sky, looks like you have been quite a few different places in your time.

[Granny Fish]

A pheasant or turkey and Lake McClure
...

That would be a wild turkey. ;)

I usually don't have time to get my camera without scaring off the wildlife, but I've seen some really cool animals and other things while fishing. As of late I seen a big sea turtle while deep sea fishing in Florida and some alligators while fishing fresh water there. One of the gators went for Granpa's line, but thankfully it was a long distance release, or we would be calling him the alligator hunter. ;)

There are really too many sitings to remember, but among some of the visitors at the water's edge are steer while fishing cow ponds in Arkansas, various birds of prey, deer, bear, snakes, frogs, some strange insects, turtles, lizards and while in Florida some really interesting tropical birds. Some of the others I remember are otters at Kern River and big horned sheep in Utah.

[HBJapo]

Rattlesnakes seem to be the most common animal to encounter, besides birds, turtles, and frogs. I was fishing at Hodges with a buddy, we're walking down a trail and......HELLO.....a big, fat rattler. That taught me to keep my head on a swivel.

Japo :Envious:

[basscatcher]

God Bless

[pyronut]

Well here are a few of the things we see here in Nevada

[xtinkshun]

I didn't have a camera dang it, but we encountered a beaver at Silverwood a few weeks ago. He was cruising along the shoreline on the Miller Cyn end. I got close to him on the kayak and he gave me the famous "tail slap" and dove.

I've seen them up at Big Bear Lake, near Fawnskin but didn't know they were at Silverwood, too. Pretty cool.

[xtinkshun]

A long horn steer?

Ok I figured out this one pretty quickly - a buffalo....

What in the heck is it? Looks like someone might be doing a little cross breeding....or a little hanky panky as my dad says.

LOL!

The first photo (big horns) is a Watusi, the middle one is a bison cross with Scottish Highland and the hairy one IS a Scottish Highland.

Ran across this mutated carp near the nuclear power plant.

[Ambassadorhawg]

Beware, I hear that there is a viscious, nasty set of monster brothers out there that have seen sighted from time to time. Me personally, I haven't come across them in all my outtings, thank God! I have obtained a rare picture of the two of them together...

[DocSpotty]

This iguana we found fishing the canal system outside of Miami.....it was probably more than 80 lbs.....

I captured this rabid creature on film while fishing at my Home Lake a couple months ago.
Unfortunately I am still having nightmares from the encounter.
