Javelina in the Wash

javelina.jpgVerna and I were about to take the dogs out for a short walk at just about sundown this evening. When Verna opened up the patio door, the dogs began barking excitedly. Up on the bluff behind the RV drive, she saw some javelina walking toward the wash on the west side of the property. She restrained the dogs since javelina are known to attack, especially if they have young nearby.

I ran and got my camera and went out into the courtyard where I had a view of several of them in the wash. I snapped this photo of one of the bigger ones staring back at me. The yellow dish on the ground is where Verna puts water out for the little critters and birds. I was about ten yards away from this guy when I took the photo. Click to enlarge.
