On the top rocks, with the scrub (maybe even a tree) behind, and the sky above. Straight line up from the ear cam.

Or not.

above right ear and below the left-hand agave stalk, but not on the horizon or top of all the rocks...

Fun, though!

I wanna know what that looks like.

and ours stays a mile or so to the north of this location (where the loony neighbor can keep an eye on it)

On the ground at the side of the road, in front of the bush, on the outside edge of that right ear about an inch down?

I have several pictures with horse's ears in the foreground myself.

The pic is LOADED with Pokemon!

I'll loan you a horse.

but no, that is some detritus from the last time the wash ran (not a road, we are on sand)

Now I have to study the picture again.

In the bushes in the dip at the base of what look like big flower spikes.

I guess yours are shier than mine - mine walk right up to the house to eat out of the bird feeders even when I have the windows open and yell at them.

In the hollow or dark spot below the left agave. Hard to make out what it is, though. It could be anything from a coyote to a deer.

I think it's a deer because of the shape of the ears and the way it holds it's head. Coyote ears don't stick out like that and are not as big in comparison to the head.

I even copied it to My Pictures so I could enlarge it, but that soon lost the resolution needed.

I may have to go with Kali's neighbor--it's a chupacabra!

And I think Kali misidentified those spikes. They are not agave.

I can't see any leaves from the plants though.

Agave americana in bloom in Portugal: The flower stalk may reach up to 8 m (26 ft) in height.

I'm used to seeing agave without the stalks, so I leaped to the wrong conclusion. My bad.

I can see that now.

yeah they are a bit more shy (mulies) now the javalina and skunks are a different story

definitely seeing tracks there...




"Beyond the unusual length of the gouger's legs, little is known about the appearance of this creature. Some say it's badger-like. Some say it's goat-like. One observer, a Harry S. Knight of Camp Wood, Arizona, has been quoted as saying: "A Sidehill Gouger is jest a burrowin' buffalo, sized down and growed crooked."

There have been reports of a Gouger sub-species found in the Appalachians that has fur only on the downward-sloping side of its body. The fur on its other side has been worn away by constant rubbing against the side of the hill. The skin of these creatures, being so highly polished and smooth, is sought after by handbag makers.

About 2:00 from the horse's right ear. His light-colored face matches the rocks behind him, the rest of his body is darker.

that's all.

indicating where the critter is located. I have enlarged this photo and followed each direction that's been suggested to no avail.

Thanks

Btw, your horse looks beautiful, what we can see of him.

see edit in OP, probably doesn't help much

It's like looking at clouds on a lazy, kick-back day.
