Critters on the course you ran into...

Found this guy on the course at home

Bet he takes more than 30 seconds to throw, once he gets to his lie.

First time seeing a woodpecker at Northwest River DGC in Cheasapeake Virginia. I'm always hearing them, but hard to find them in thick canopy during the warmer months. Saw three, there was another one just above my head whaling on a tree 30 feet away, when I reached for my camera, it flew away. Still waiting for my first encounter with Cheesey the Black Bear.

Hole #6 halfway up the middle tree.

Clearing out old photos for the end of the year, found this guy. This was at the North Boundary course in Pittsburgh. Mid October. It had been a very rainy morning so I think the amphibians were happy!

Disc course in Hawaii closed so they can bury a beached whale -

Should this be in the "Critters on the course" thread?

Palmetto Bay Village Center is the former corporate HQ for Burger King. Not necessarily a great course, but the place definitely has a a tropical vibe, and some cool wildlife you don't typically encounter while discing.

I've seen peacocks before, but never on a course.

Pretty sure this is a Yellow Crowned Night Heron.

Also saw a ton of these white crabs in the water near hole #15.
Hard to believe there were so many of them , because they contrast so sharply against the bottom.
You'd think some sort predatory birds would just gorge themselves on these things.
Sorry the image isn't better, but the water wasn't exactly crystal clear.

Just outside the entrance of Munden Point DGC what could be a long par 3 to the #5 baskets, about 6-8 deer in the middle of the road as I turned the corner, they scattered into the brush except this one that turned and struck a pose.

Back in the fall a larger group came running out of the heavy trees and toward me, a few hundred feet they turned away full speed. Twice in the past month I've seen a large raccoon trotting across a fairway, but too far away for a photo. And those elusive eagles still remain too high up for a photo. Always critters to be seen at Munden.

Ya know, Hornings Hideout complex has a couple generations of peacocks wandering about, including at least one albino. You can hear the *******s shrieking all the way out to #8 tee on the Meadows course, near 1/2 mile.

Sounded like a loud cat.

Those still scare the hell out of me 'cause of that scene in the movie "Frogs".

My first thought was avian influenza (bird flu) but according to CDC https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/avian-flu-faq.htm

Wild birds that carry bird flu viruses include waterbirds, like ducks, geese and swans, and shorebirds, like storks. ...
Most common songbirds or other birds found in the yard, like cardinals, robins, sparrows, blue jays, crows, or pigeons, do not usually carry bird flu viruses that are dangerous to poultry or people.

I just read a story of many Bald Eagles being killed by Avian Flu, as well.

Likely some government creation to pad the coffers of big pharma.... or big aviary....or big bird....

So.....

Avain Flu is a way for the government to increase funding to PBS?
