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.

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.

Great Blue Heron nesting on one of my ponds, There's usually about 7 who nest in the old dead trees in the water.

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.

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

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.
