What wildlife did you spot tonight?

Hahaha! Good one LB!

One might think of feral animals but the idea is to see real WILD life. Now, I hope you don't come across a bear without a bit of distance between you and it!

If you live in a colony of meerkats, most definitely! ;)

Here’s one I encountered the other day. :smiley:

I was using a YLP G180 and a Wurkkos HD20.

Wow, your powerful flashlight is like a deer-magnet…draws them right in to ya.

Maybe grins or some other Austrailian member can spot a drop bear at night,

Nice, flightless22! I was walking beside a lake a few months back and was trying to see the little peepers but even with hi CRI and practically being a foot away, they are so well camouflaged!

Whoa! We have some white-tail deer with large antler racks that would make me quite nervous if they ran toward me!

tonight?
well, i will have to wait
a while before i post.

Well, it's really tell what you see on any night. I hope you see something exciting!

Nice idea, OP. I never tried taking pictures at night before but will give it a try. 14 inches of snow melted as fast as it came so the critters are walking around again.

Good Morning, Pennzy!

For night pictures, I found out 2700K, even on a D4S, doesn't illuminate well enough for my Samsung smartphone. Rather, it's probably the camera sensor.

True story. I was walking down a rural road and heard the snort of a horse. The mare was about 50' away, with a colt, and being something to share with the kids, I tried to take a photo. Well, no dice. However, the mare was brown and the colt, black. I thought the camera would pick up something.

LOL, I’d actually never heard of a “drop bear”. You had me going there for a bit, kb. Googled it.

Cochise334ever, 1st off, Welcome to BLF!

Those are some great snapshots! I am surprised to be able to photograph owls but foxes are some of the most skittish creatures I barely even see!

Thanks. Sometimes you get lucky.Usually they keep their distance.I also notice sometimes after they run in the woods,a few minutes later I will see them about 75 yards behind me and folowing me.

Edir:I have a flying squirrel on here somwhere.They are the absolute most difficult to get a photo.I got lucky once,and thats all it was…once.It landed on a tree and froze…scared of the light I guess.I have to look for that one.

Flying squirrel.Only picture I ever got and I have seen dozens and dozens over the years.

I'm just about 200 miles away from the nearest flying squirrel populations in the States so they are definitely a curiosity for me.

I had at least one experience with a screech owl, recently, where I used a C8+ to observe it from about 75 meters. The best I thought I could do was get a recording of it but even that proved elusive.
