One day this week….my dogs were barking and had the kind of bark that said, “HEY, THERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD/DIFFERENT HAPPENING HERE!”
I called them to come in…and went to see what the fuss was about…

I looked over the backyard wall and WOW…a herd of Javelina (Collared Peccary) about a dozen or more! And 2 babies…(Adult females can give birthday at anytime of the year.)

They “dined” for a while and then made their way to the 'wash' for a different smorgasbord.

This was an awesome sighting. 🙌

I wasn't able to get a shot of the whole herd. My D850 had the 500mm on it and my D7500 a 70-300mm. I was 6 feet from them and I knew I didn't have a lot of time.

Note: Javelinas live and travel in groups called a squadron. The average squadron size tends to be between six and nine animals, but javelina's have also been observed living by themselves.

Thanks! It did feel kind of like that way, @PhD69 but the only reason it even knew I was there was because of smell. They have really poor eye sight so I was able to stand still and they would wander up smelling with their nose in the air.
