The Magnificent Triple Take


"So there is a Mountain Lion going through my sister's backyard…"
I share a incredulous glance with teacher chum Ryan.
she continued, "It must be going after her chickens!"

The call was put out to place a camera trap in this particular San Anselmo backyard and our suspicions were confirmed with the appearance of a bobcat.

Of course the real treasure of this capture is the action in the diamond window of the chicken coop.




A great double take is a relatively common occurrence and with practice can be performed with excellence.

However a triple take requires such an alarming event to take place for it to even truly be warranted, that it is a rare event to behold, especially so when its performer delivers it so beautifully, as this distressed chicken does.




A tip of the hat to this bird.





*This will hopefully be the end of the archive clean, with JK and I maintaining a couple of projects in the field currently and some recent adventures to detail.

    Not even close to cleaning out the archives. I still have posts from two High Country seasons I need to write. But they will probably have to wait until some of these current projects get posted.

  2. True... I guess I am referring to "odds and ends" rather than our [i]massive[/i] project archives
