These are a great bunch of photos. I really enjoyed them. I suppose the trail cameras are just getting better and better.
A couple of notes though. That quail is not a bobwhite but a Gambel's quail. The hawk is a Coopers Hawk.
I am 66 years old and I have never in my life seen a Bobwhite with a Topknot like the Quail have in Photo's # 14 & 24. Theey are some kind of a Western Quial.
Photo number nine, with the sow holding up her cub, to look inside the barrel, is an amazing photo.
Quail in northern CA are California Quail, Gambel's are found more in the desert SW.
Hi...
What a great bunch of photos. Thanks for making my day...!!
When photog identified the raptor in last photo (40) as a 'redtailed hawk','I wondered if he'd noticed one detail, the hawk didn't have a red tail. Someone else indicated it was a Coopers Hawk. I've seen one at close range on a kill, and, at another time watched a Coopers Hawk zoom trees to bring down a whitewing dove.
Both comments on the Coopers Hawk are correct as are all of the comments about Great Pics ! THANKS for providing these contests.
One suggestion for future Contests to add to the challenge and keep pictures more current. Set a time period for when the submitted pics were taken such as during the year of the contest or within one year of each contest starting date.
Guys, that would have to be the biggest Coopers Hawk ever. Just my opinion, but I still think it's a red-tailed. The tail is only red on the back or top, not on the underside. Even though the crow is in the foreground of the shot, the hawk is still bigger. Also, in all my life I've never seen crows mess with a Coopers, but they are constantly at it with red-tails. I've been wrong before and could be wrong on this one, but I say red-tailed.
great pictures!
Great pictures
Some pretty cool pics. I need a trail cam to capture some pics of our "plague" of quail! lol I do love listening to them in the mornings though.
Hi Ryan,
If you want trail cam photos of quail set your camera low, about a foot off the ground. Put your bird seed or crack corn out about seven feet. Good Luck!
Not to take away from the great pics with the hawk discussion, but it is definitely not a red tail, while it is true you may not be able to see the red through the underside, there is no way a red tail will have those bars. Plus you can see how much white there is right behind the legs, 95% it's a big mama coopers, but 0% it's a red tail.
Anyway, I was amazed by the picture of the bear holding up her cub, awesome timing.
Love seeing the trail cam photos every month. Shows the diversity of the creatures in our country really well. Keep it up!
Great pictures, makes me want a trial cam.
The deer at dawn would make a nice framed picture on the wall!!!
Loved all the pics out there cant wait to see more and load my up.
These are amazing, you never know what'll be on your camera next time you check it!
