What's Watching You? O_O

After prospecting alone for a while and feeling that eerie feeling of something or somebody watching me.. I decided to put out some trail cams in the woods around my to keep an eye on what critters are watching me while I'm prospecting. Not that I'm worried about animals attacking me or anything, I'm just curious to see what's out there. I've never seen an animal while prospecting except little animals like squirrels and birds & snakes etc. I'll be putting these out every time I go out so if I get any more I'll post them to the same thread. This first one came around a few hours after I put the camera out. Wasn't expecting to get anything on camera the first day.

What a beautiful bobcat! Sweet!

He/she definitely had that nose in the wind, and it's senses were telling
it to vamoose...danger was ahead. It won't ever bother you though,
but don't let your house kitties hang round there...

Yep. Bighorn Sheep in East Fork San Gabriel last weekend. Saw a maintain lion the night prior and had a bear crap next to my camp fire. No pics of them. I like my limbs where they are... attached.
Didn't know there were bighorn sheep in ca. I caught a big bear on camera above where I was working also but it was really early in the morning when I wasn't there and he goes out of frame really quick so I didn't post it.

What a great idea and awesome find for the first day. Posting more as you get them? Priceless! I didn't know about the Big Horns in CA either. What a sight to see! This site keeps getting better and better. Thanks to all!

I knew there were Big Horns out in the desert areas, but never thought they'd be along the San Gabriel. You usually can only see the desert ones from a distance as they're very shy. Great shots guys! keep them coming as ya can.

Nice kitty, his ear was pickin up something too.
True story.
Bout 15 yrs or so ago, I'm sunning in my back yard. It's fairly private and I have my back turned to the neighbors' house behind me.
I can feel eyes on me! It's not a comfortable feeling, and I look to the left, nothing, look to the right, and on top of the flat RV garage, sits
Miss Suzie, a cross-eyed Siamese/Burmese cat, with fur as soft as a llama.

(not Miss Suzie, but could be her twin! LOL!)

So I say, "What's up Miss Suzie"?, she mews back, I lay back down.
I can STILL feel eyes on me! I look at M.S., and it ain't her!
I look behind me, and my neighbor is crouched at the fence, with a pair of binoculars!
I grab my towel, yelling/cussing, dumbazz pervert, are you blind? that's what the corner store sells mag's for, etc......
He killed himself within the yr, he was one of them roided weightlifters. His ex got the home. Her and her new husband are very nice.
That "eyes upon you" feeling, is not one I can let, just go by.

Great cam shots!
