If you keep persevering usually it will eventually work, so long as the image is not too large. (But I'm sure Jordan will look into the issue for us soon.)I am glad that you mentioned this..I have gotten error messages while trying to upload photos. Thank you

Hey! What's wrong with multitasking?Once he puts the beard sanitizing whiskey down.
My wife took the day off to finish the area near the pool we’re redoing, in order to get it ready for the new shrubbery and plants. This morning she sends a text and pic over of a bird that has joined her while she’s working and wondered what it was. I answered her back that it was a Ruffed Grouse. She sent back another text and pic of it all nestled in the ground right next to where she is working, and said she stopped so not to disturb it because it was so cute. I said use the shovel on it because they’re good eating, so she can get back to work and I don't have to do the work over the weekend. She hasn’t spoken to me since.
Why didn't you hire Roger the Shrubber to install the shrubbery?
I called about a half dozen of them. Unfortunately none had insurance and they all had the same social security number.

Did you have to dial one for English?
No... Damn Canadians!
Fox, coyotes, coons, possums, squirrels, gopher turtles, bald eagles, falcons, hawks, vultures, rabbits, armadillos, snakes good and bad, across the hwy on the gulf side: black bear and deer.
Was in my float tube on Lost Lake and had an otter climb the tip of a log that was mostly submerged, climbed up there and barked at me. Have seen otter...or mink...on streams...saw a big honking beaver same stream. Have seen wolves on multiple occasions, heard them, too, coyotes, fox, bobcat, one possible cougar sighting, had the silhouette of a cougar anyway...deer, moose, turkey, partridge, dove, multiple songbirds, have had birds land on me when I'm sitting in a tree...couple of flying squirrels made me jump out of my camo, same tree, when they bebopped down a branch inches form my nose and jumped off, gliding to the ground...porcupine, fisher, one possible wolverine sighting...yesterday a number of Canadian geese, one pair flying low heading for open water, sandhill cranes...hear them and see them, they make a racket...saw about a hundred birds, no idea what they were, last year in the autumn...in a field...big gray bird, migrating I assume
Kingfishers, loons, pileated woodpeckers (the Woody the Woodpecker variety)...loons, the woodpeckers, sandhills...they all make noise...passed within ten yards of two huge owls, me in a canoe and no camera, one held its wings out, snowy owls...crows...heard that crows can live to be 70...ravens, hawks, eagles. Had a porcupine bark at me one time, too...was up in a tree, he was occupying a neighboring tree...didn't notice him until he started barking at me...thought he had a cough but I think it was a bark. Muskrats...out smeltin this once, muskrat comes out of hole underwater, swims downstream, turns, heads back up, back into the hole.
Rarely see snapper turtles but saw one on side of the road a year or two ago...backed up so I could get out and look closer but he'd already skedaddled. Painted turtles...skunks, racoons...that eat the turtle eggs...black bear, had one almost climb the pine I was in...they are shy animals or smart, one...salamanders, a few variety of snakes...chipmunks, black/gray/red/albino squirrels. Blue jays, robins (state bird). Had a wolf get to within...close...to me, was in a natural blind, a downfall, in camo, using a grunt tube. Saw movement through the branches, a deer, heard him take off thought he winded me. I stand...a wolf takes off running...was a few feet behind me. I don't know who was more startled, him or me. He/she thought I was a buck, using the tube like I was...saw a pack of three wolves another time, called them in to me by rattling an 8-pt shed I was carrying. Friend was catching wolves in his coyote traps last fall...call the DNR guy to come out and release them. Bozo wolves, but apparently a more aggressive strain than what the DNR officer commonly dealt with.

This little guy lives in the trunk of my cherry tree. I also have some redheaded woodpeckers, but they're camera shy.
The wildlife near my uncle's house in Sampson, is kinda scary......but that's a different thread.
What a great picture!
I was at work, walking to another area outside and heard birds chirping loudly. I found out they were frogs singing.
Er?
Er?
Oh, the birds fine. I even had to put some food out for it yesterday evening. Freeze dried mealy worms was on the menu.
Having coffee and about to go out to work on the flower bed. Looking at the work area, and in it are a rabbit, a grey squirrel, a morning dove and a blue jay.
Here is a pic of yesterday's visitor the ruffed grouse.

So, Mrs. Dio is now talking to you again, yes?Having coffee and about to go out to work on the flower bed and looking at the work area and in it are a rabbit, a grey squirrel, a morning dove and a blue jay. Here is a pic of yesterday's visitor the ruffed grouse.

She put a pic of the ruffed grouse on her facebook page and caused a firestorm of opinion about what it is. From ruffed grouse to bobwhite to young turkey to who knows what else. I told her that her "friends" are all nuts. Earlier this week I had to identify a fish someone caught and posted on their page, and needed an identification. (another massive group discussion on what it could be). I said it was a walleye, but could also be a sauger (but that is a more rare fish species in our area). When it comes to animal, bird and fish identification, I'm pretty darn good at it. But still, the debate went on. I think people just like to argue their opinions on that facebook thing.
Yelling is kinda the same thing as talking, yes?So, Mrs. Dio is now talking to you again, yes?

This used to be my favorite grouse
Does the grouse make sounds?

I have seen coyote and badger in my neighborhood. I dropped my son off at his home a few months ago and turned the corner and there was this HUGE raccoon walking down the street. HUGE.
I have a ton of quail making nests in my yard, and I have a duck nest -- which now I can't do anything in that area and it desperately needs cleaned up, but I don't want them to abandon their nest. How long does it take for duck eggs to hatch? And I have bird feeders that a variety of birds come to.
Our capitol is always having wildlife come into the city that they have to dart and take back out -- moose, deer, mtn lion, bear
