I finished a montage of images from days 4-8 after the mountain lion killed the deer. Two wildlife cameras recorded images around the carcass. You can see part 1 here.
Thanks to all of my regular readers for your encouragement and well wishes. I probably won't post again for a little while after my surgery.
Incredible!
ReplyDeleteThe facial shots in the opening scenes from this video are striking!
Good luck with the surgery -
Khyra and I will eagerly be anticipating your return and/or any updates!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra and Phyll
Those are really remarkable photos! I'm curious about two things. Were you ever able to tell for sure the sex of the lion? Also, why would the lion return to the site after he drug the carcass off?
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you while you're recuperating and we're hoping for the best of outcomes for you and K both! Take good care of yourself!
wow, that is #*@&ing awesome! love the slide show, can't wait for the documentary...the lion sure looks full and healthy!
ReplyDeleteyou and K will be in my thoughts .....until your next post, only then will i be at peace, knowing that both of you are on the mend...
xoxo
Wow! Really cool pics. I would love to know how the "setup" of a wildlife camera works. We have a bird nest by our window. I'd like to run a feed for my wifes classroom.
ReplyDeleteAwesome montage - it almost seemed that the lion knew the camera was there the way he looked straight at us. Such a powerfully built animal!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes for your surgery tomorrow - you and K will both will be in my thoughts this week!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the third installment of video/photo. (BTW - I don't know if you saw, but a little while back, Patricia McConnell had some photos on her blog of a couple of different big cats peeing - it was from her Africa trip.)
You are in our thoughts, all the humans and animals here send blessings.

As always, amazing pictures and stunning to see the majesty of the big cat. We are fascinated with the pictures you have been able to capture.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to K in a complete recovery and to you in your surgery and recovery tomorrow. We will eagerly await knowing that all has been successful.
Absolutely amazing, no matter how many times I see this cat!!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for an update on K, as I have been very worried!
I am anxious to hear that you are both on the road to recovery...
Take care,

I'm hoping that your surgery was successful and that you are doing well. I'm also happy that K is on the mend. Positive vibes from dogs and folks here in the NC mountains. With your attitude and positive nature I know everything will be fine.
ReplyDeleteThe worst is over and now you and K can concentrate on healing.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and your soul dog every day <3
xxooxxoo
Speedy recovery to you both..look forward to more pics of the lion. Never realized just how big they are even after my brother told me of his confrontation while hunting in Colorado a few years back..They certainly aren't a "here kitty kitty" kind of creature.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
As a neighbor of yours who loves to run the mountain trails, I've enjoyed your series and taken some inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHere are some of my thoughts.
