One time chronos caught a mouse but he didnât know what to do with it so it tossed it into the air a few times. We made him release it and it was so traumatized, it could barely move. Just stood there shaking. We left it and it disappeared in a few hours lol.
Today they cornered a bunny. Then they wanted to play. I guess todayâs the day this month that i give them their flea meds 
thankfully, it doesnât look like it has ticks

No idea what this was, but I found it as the straw that broke the camelâs back of my poorly constructed Concord grape trellis. Nest had a heavy ass ball of mud in the bottom. I didnât find the egg until a day or two later. It was underneath a bush down the hill from where the nest/my grapevine landed. I assume itâs a man-eating lizard egg.

The mud base with dried grass on top plus the color makes me 90% sure itâs a Robin nest

thats a big wildlife lol 
This butterfly is pretty common around here, although I donât know its name. Some of yaâll probably do. What was odd though is that it repeatedly landed on me while planting in the garden, and literally followed me to different spots in the yard and would land on me again. This went on for a long time. It began to freak me out. It was quite attracted to the skin on my arm/hand for some reason. Maybe it was the salty sweat, although I did not feel sweaty. Or maybe the soil all over my hands from digging around in the dirt. I also used my hand/arm to stir and dissolve the Jackâs acid fertilizer in a big bucket of water, so maybe something in that water was attractive to it. I did have on a flower print top, but it didnât land on the top.
The black creature below the butterfly in the picture also followed me all around the garden. But I know what she wanted - lunch!

Looks too leggy and long-bodied to be a bobcat, to me - but then, weâve captured shots of some big ones, here too.
I saw a strange little animal yesterday. Very dark in color. Weasel-shaped and moved like something in the weasel family. We have otters who visit a couple times each year, so at first I thought maybe he was an otter. But, too small. There is something here called a Fisher Cat, which Iâd never heard of before . . . and it could have been one of those. But wrong color and wrong tail. Maybe an immature otter? I didnât have my phone with me to take a picture.
We see all kinds of animals on our property.
Like this strange bird at my bird feeder, a few days ago! LOL

I know how you feel. I canât stand having them do all the damage and make the messes they make . . . but feel bad to have to end their little lives. They are just being âwhat they areâ.

You are describing a mink. We have plenty here since nobody makes coats out of them anymore.
Yes it is a big cat whatever it was but i still really feel like its a bobcat. The Cougars here make that look like a housecat. The full grown cougars are much bigger than people think.

Really??? And it wonât bother the birds? OK! Thatâs an easy enough fix.
Thanks, Richard. You are a font of knowledge!

Clark! Gosh I think you are right! I never even thought of a mink. How exciting to know that they are out there. (As long as they donât have a penchant for peaches.) 
One time I looked out my back window and saw âsomethingâ sitting out near the treeline at the end of our yard. I looked hard to try to figure out what it was. It was the size of a Springer Spaniel, Iâd say. But I could tell it was a cat of some sort, so I grabbed my binoculars to get a better look. I always thought it must have been a bobcat - but if I didnât know better . . . Iâd actually guess, âLynxâ, because it had tufts on the tips of its ears. It was much different than âyoursâ looks. 
My son caught what he called a bobcat, on his security camera . . . just strolling through a job site at night. And that guy was really big, much larger than the cat I saw. I wondered if that one was actually a bobcat, as well. I didnât know that they got that large.

Bobcats have legs that are proportionally longer than house cats. Depending on locale, their body size is that of a large tabby or larger. Their tails are of course short.

This dude deer has been visiting me almost every day to help prune things
including stuff that doesnât need pruningâŚ
I have to buy peanuts for the Ravens now because Iâve been trying to befriend them. Theyâre slowly getting closer HOWEVER⌠now they knock on my window for food. I thought they were just messing with my roof the other day but turns out thereâs 2 wasp nests up there! Iâm assuming they were trying to get rid of it for me because thatâs food competition for them lol

The problem is with this photo is the animal is a distance away but iâm 99.99% sure its a bobcat for all the reasons we all mentioned. The photo is not clear enough to be completely sure. We can tell it is taller than a medium sized dog in height. Like i said above mountain lions have a very long tail and its no mountain lion aka cougar. What else besides a bobcat? There are some other large cats around we are trying to identify that we believe may be black bobcats. We cant be sure as some have longer black tails than normal. We have all seen at least 1 of them.
These were my wildlife yesterday. These trespassers triggered my cameras at 11:28 am cst.
