Nothing is more surprising and entertaining than what happens outdoors in nature, but unfortunately most of it happens when we aren’t looking. \u00a0I like to be outside as much as possible to increase my odds of seeing something wonderful! \u00a0I’ve enjoyed many moments in nature that are ordinary but that I don’t see every day. \u00a0Memorable moments such as an Osprey flying over with a fish, a snake slithering up a tree and stopping to look at me, a White-tailed Kite snatching a grasshopper and eating it midair, a Northern Harrier hovering over a field for minutes, a river otter popping up just feet away, and a Crow feather slowly spinning to the ground. \u00a0 Great reasons to spend the day outdoors!<\/p>\n
There’s another way to see what’s happening around Little Piney that I have had less luck with–game cameras. \u00a0Settings, batteries, quality, and high water have all made it seem like game cameras were more trouble than they were worth. \u00a0 I’m down to one working camera out of several, and I hadn’t bothered to put it out in months until last week. \u00a0We were worried about that we might have wild pigs at Little Piney so I placed the camera near the house and left it for a few days.<\/p>\n
What a surprise! \u00a0What I got on the camera amazed me! \u00a0 I \u00a0have three 10 second videos of a bobcat<\/a> doing something I didn’t even know they did. \u00a0Watch this big cat tossing it’s dinner up in the air and catching it before it lands! \u00a0If you have a cat at home, this play will look familiar. \u00a0Take a look at this beautiful bobcat Bastrop Tx.<\/p>\n
