At the Rock

This small puddle has intrigued me for the last several months so I put a camera on it for most of the month of June. I was hoping for some small critters but was pleasantly surprised by the pheasant rooster.

Any softness in focus is due to me putting the camera too close to the rock. The camera has a minimum sharpness range about 40 inches and I crept in a  little to close. All sounds with still images were recorded at Cottonwood Prairie using an iPhone6 Audio during the video was recorded on the Reconyx.

King of the Hill

This is another in the series of recent camera trap images from Cottonwood Prairie SNA. The camera was set up at a fresh dig with the hope of capturing a badger family.  No luck but this wet pheasant rooster did stop for a portrait as it looked over its domain. Technical: captured from video clip.
