Since we missed the 2015 Maggie Valley GTG, we were not inaugurated into the Crtter Gawking Society. Today we left the chalet in Gatlinburg and headed to Maggie Valey to search for critters. Could not take 441 out of town as it was closed due to snow and ice. Undaunted we decided to take 321 and head up to route 40 then take 276 to the Valley. After we ate lunch at Apple Andys we headed to the park in search of critters. We had 3 successful sightings. Here is the first.
Hoping for a honorary CGS membership.

Here are the first turkeys.

Second and last set of turkeys.

You were at WWW WV last summer where it all started. Doesn't that count for something? :nixweiss:
-
Probably not.

Still remember the most "uh oh" critter gawk. The year at Cripple Creek. Tooling along in a long line of bikes and, well now, there goes a bear cub across the road to momma bear ::) .
-
Hmmmm we'll have address your petition to join at our next triple secret membership meeting. I'll inform the brethren of your request. ;D

Gentlemen (and Twolane),
As President and Grand PooBaa of the CVO Harley Critter Gawking Society I feel compelled to iterate that there is absolutely no need to formulate a petition on Jims behalf for entry into the Society. As has been stated in other threads pertaining to the subject of entry into the Society, the beauty, or dare I say genius, of this organization is that every member of the CVO Harley site is already a member. While it is true that there will only be a finite number of Charter Members, defined as those 12 individuals who attended the first expedition in MV in 2015, any and all current forum members are invited and encouraged to participate.
Cudos to you Jim, my friend, for taking the time to gawk at critters and to post said gawking evidence on the site. I would mention that part of the fun of gawking is to name the critters that have been gawked, kind of like the true scientist do, but feel free to use your own flair if it were.
For instance if the elk were located near the visitors center, one might call it a Great Smoky Oconaluftee Big Balled Bull Elk. Since you gawked it, you get to name it.
I do suppose that we need another classification for those members who choose to participate in Critter Gawking activities such as you have demonstrated. Let it be known from this point forward that any and all members who choose to participate in Critter Gawking activities shall be permitted and encouraged to refer to themselves as Active Members of the CVO Critter Gawking Society with all rights, privilages and accolades.

Well, with that said.... As I am a big fan of 2K's avatars,, Does that mean I like looking at jiggly critters? Is that even a correct classification or is puppies a better term?
-
While Critter Gawking is usually confined to non-human species I reckon the same rules apply...
You gawk 'em you get to name 'em. But you have to post pictures.....
-
Congratulations Jim in becoming the first Active Member of the CVO Critter Gawking Society!
Having the Grand PooBaa himself confirm that title on you is especially a once in a lifetime event and should be accompanied by a drum roll. :drummer:

The next time a bear runs out in front of you, snap a picture, come up with a name to identify the species, and post the picture...
Then you can add "Active Member CVO Harley Critter Gawking Society" to your moniker.

Will do. Actually had a camera slung around my neck that day. The little bastard came across the road two bikes in front of but I was paying far more attention looking over in the direction he was going for momma bear than I was to grab the camera in time. I snapped a couple pics but missed him. Bad aim.....

It was early morning as I remember. So only one saddlebag half emptied!

This critter gawking is fun. Here is a good looking raccoon and a sweet looking bear from today.

The bear does look sweet but that raccoon looks a little sketchy. The candy kitchen better check its inventory.
:D :D

I think it's because he is on his side. lol

Kuddos and accolades to you Mr. Jim for joining our ranks in the CGS! We look forward to seeing you at the founders gathering in September. :huepfenjump3:

Does the goat on the hill in MV count?
-
Well
The goat would count if he hadn't already been classified by another member. If I remember correctly several of us first identified him with a spotting scope just after breakfast one morning, we even named him George and his companion is Georgette. Since that time George has become the defacto Mascot of the 2016 MV GTG. The Society would welcome any pictures that you may have of George, if in fact you have some photos, but as he has already been classified he may not be used to secure active membership status.
-
Do dead critter count if they're in your driveway and maybe 25 feet from a parked bike?
-
Critters should be alive and well as no harm during gawking may occur to said critters. Gawking at dead critters is considered bad form and does not count for inclusion to the society.

Very nicely put Eric....
Yes all critters are to be alive and well for inclusion into the Society, however one can use unfortunate opportunities such as these to practice naming the species if one desires...
How bout it Don?

How bout it Don?
Hmmm, ok, I'll give it a shot. He lost his antlers when he decided to run through rather than jump over the fence. So he's not that much of a "he" anymore. So I'll go with mod-doe-rater :nixweiss: ?

I suggest practicing with animated critters, they tend to smell better.

Damn, he might freak the dogs out as much as did the deer they ran through the fence.
-
Good name Don, I really like it.
I might add that we normally try to include the location and other specific details to more clearly define the species, so in this case a more appropriate name may be A Southern Missouri, Fence Hitting, Rigormod-doe-rater.

Got it. Probably ought to throw in something Latin sounding too; to make it all official sounding. So he'd be a Greyhoundious-chased-southernmo-fencewreckingmofo-rigormod-doe-rater.
Yeap, I think that covers it.....

Do ‘piggybacking critters’ count?
From my personal archive, the attached is aptly entitled,
‘Coastal Georgia Baldie-jackedtheduck&turned-it into nest fodder-in the-refuge'
However, this wasn't exposed from the saddle of my bike...

There is no rule stating that the critter or photo have to be observed or photographed from the bike.
Good Job Kirk....
For a minute I thought that was the elusive Coastal Geogia Web Footed Duck Arsed Bald River Eagle then I realized they went extinct several years ago.

LOL
Good job.

Well.... sumbitch was in their yard. And he will soon be partially returned as sausage and other good bits. I might even share with the Greyhounds.
-
Well
if in fact you have some photos

Thanks so much for posting the fine picture of George and Georgette, Duane.
It gives me much joy to once again see them in their natural environment resting up on Comfort Inn Bald.

I disagree with the above, a South Carolina Roadkill/Fencekill Antlered/Antler-less Deer is considered a rare find if the body is still warm/slightly cool. You just can't in sporting terms mount the head or antlers. I would vote for inclusion into the society once properly identified and resubmitted along with some sausage in Eureka Springs this May. :2vrolijk_21:

No Eric, you won't.need an absentee ballot.
To overturn a Presidential decision requires a vote of a least 3/4 of the Charter Members in person, at a venue of his choice. So the next available time will be MV16. To veto a decision requires 3/4 majority of members present, so I don't think he's got a chance....

H'mmm them there is a consideration - seems you and yer spottin scope are a year late to the party. Them goats was spied and verified a year earlier with the picture posted :huepfenjump3:
Although if 2015 is the official beginning I guess I'll have to stand by and gawk as that was the first MV I missed since I started going due to my injury and resulting surgery from waterfall gawking.

HAHAHA! You all are the lucky ones to have hooked up with Suzie and I. No doubt about it. It takes a two strong women to put up with two fishing, hunting, shine making, critter gawking and Harley riding guys!

Susan was so lucky back in 1966 to lasso such a fine catch as myself. In fact it will be 50 years on March 31st, I am a saint to be so good a catch. I hope she gets me something nice for our anniversary like a pair of heated slippers. I'm getting her a new gas powered electric start blower for the driveway.

All good reading,.....At the moment I'm going to take the chance and pop back to some Critter Gawking. I took this at 07:30am
I do believe they are called "Canlish Geese", as I'm not being to sure of being a member of Critter Gawking Society I've posted this on the off chance it would be accepted as a Critter Gawking post and if I my point out the critters have been named.
Doe to the fact I live on the other side of the pond I thought I my hitch a ride with them by tying a bunch of their legs together to a harness. Then catch a lift on their way back to your side of the pond in order to make that MV16 Vote.
But all I got from them was a lot of "quaking and honking" the thing they do,.. one can only imagine what their reply to my suggestion was as they flocked off quaking and honking :nixweiss:
So I won't make it there to VOTE!! (some one may vote twice) ::) BTW. no pass port required when traveling by Canlish air.
-
longlast, over here in the
ColoniesStates I believe they would be called Canadian Geese. They have a nasty habit of pooping all over everything. ( It may be good that they escaped your attempt to harness them into an air cargo device to bring you and your bike across the pond to Maggie Valley 2016. I doubt you would ever be able to clean all that poop off yourself or your bike.)
I noticed some white or very lite gray birds also in the submitted photograph. What kind of bird/flying animal are they? Of course only our illustrious President/Grand PooPa is the sole member to be able to confirm membership into The CVO Harley Critter Gawking Society. However,
you do get my vote and should be our first European member. But remember these guys aren't as nice as I am and are a hard bunch to sway!

We do call them Canadian Geese as well. I just named them Canlish for "Can" being Canadian and "lish" for English.
I agree on the pooping issue that's all they do on their visit here. Perhaps these graceful shameless critters would give Grand PooPa a visit and poo,swade the hard bunch on membership confirmation?
The little white birds are "we call,.. "chit gulls" they do the same as the geese but with one factor their pooing is air born. When they're flying around beware of incoming :'( Thanks for your vote 8)

Porthole,
If in fact the picture was taken before 2015 MV, which is evident by your unfortunate absence last year, then I am making the executive decision that you classified it first and therefore are now considered to be an active member with all honors, privilages and accolades.
Congratulations!!!!

Since I'm married to the Grand PooBa, I think I can influence him to grant you the first overseas member. Maybe even start your own chapter in London.

I might suggest that you could choose a name that is, shall we say, a bit more creative for this particular species other than Canlish Goose. Earlier in this thread a dead whitetail deer became a Greyhoundious Chased Southern Missouri Fence Wrecking Mofo Rigormo Doe Rater.

On behalf of the CVO Harley Critter Gawking Society I wish to extend a personal invitation to you to participate in the 2016 Expeditions which are scheduled for WV in July and MV in September. I am hearby reserving the passenger front seat of my F150 exclusively for you at the event(s) of your choice. The only stipulation is that you not attempt to modify said seat in any way from its factory form and function.
In addition, I am also offering to provide deluxe accommodations, at my own personal expense, at the 2016 West Virginia Gathering at the Expedition location, which is situated at a secret location between the scenic Bluestone River and the Norfolk Southern Railway. Entertainment actives at this location include; swimming, fishing, hunting, grass mowing, and as a special added incentive a personal tutorial on the operation and maintenance of a 1962 Allis Chalmers Track Loader.
I hope this in some small way atones for your exclusion last year...
And by the way, you need to officially name your critter(s).

Please practice on yer hillbilly accent, the intonation does not reflect consistency. And careful because the geographical slang police will confuse yer attempt at humor as a violation. Besides I ain't got no accent, its the rest of you phuckers.

I forgot to add. I have no interest in wrenching on a track loader, but me in the drivers seat is another story. I ain't very good at operating heavy equipment but the kid in me can't refuse an opportunity to do so.

Being a relatively new forum member and followed some of the old gawking posts. Planning to bring my wife to the MV GTG for the first time and the thought crosses my mind how does one explain this "unusual" group to new acquaintances or new forum members?? Just curious the responses. Anyone pondered this thought? I'm going to have to tell my wife your all nuts before she meets you, LOL, :).

As President of the CVO Harley Critter Gawking Society, National Vice President of the Hill Billy Rocket Riders and a Certified Zen Master of Pondering, I am not sure that I understand your question entirely. I don't think that any of us are particularly unusual, quasi-entertaining at times perhaps, but not unusual.
The really unusual stuff doesn't happen until a GTG, then the total foolishness begins. At MV15 we determined, among other things, that certain tasty table snacks will maintain quite a nice flame when lit, that the folks who decide the paint schemes for the CVO motorcycles determine the colors by going to Helen Georgia to observe the patterns of the butterflies they encounter, and that a lot of fun can be had by forming a Society dedicated to the observation of all types of animals...
Don't worry too much I'm sure you guys will fit right in...
I am certain that others will soon chime in...

Sorry, Guess those of us that were not in on some of the original gawking will have to learn. We do like critters though as long as they are not running into the bike. Maybe it will help to sample some of Mike's fruit juice first.

Ron, just tell Debbie she will have the time of her life. And if she wants to skip a ride or two she can always go shopping with Susie and Phyllis. However she willenjoy the planned Critter Gawking side trip. Of course you could say nothing and she will find out for herself what kind of wonderful, good natured, friendly, polite, normal people we are. :o

If your wife decides to shopping with Susie, Phyllis and the rest of us she will have a ball. A GTG is a wonderful place to meet great new friends who it turns out you will probably have a lot in common with.
Cant wait to meet you at the MVGTG.

Porthole,
If in fact the picture was taken before 2015 MV, which is evident by your unfortunate absence last year, then I am making the executive decision that you classified it first and therefore are now considered to be an active member with all honors, privilages and accolades.
Congratulations!!!!
Alas, since Gadetz apparently classified the pups first, maybe I should take a back seat or at least a decimalized member number :nixweiss:
-

All I know is I named the white one George and Mikeytee named the brown one Georgette. That's there names not the official Critter Gawking species name which went something like The Great Smoky two horned, rock climbing, head butting, mountain Goat of Comfort Inn Bald.
You don't need a decimalized number, you are an Active Member in good standing, with all honors, privilages and accolades.

Thank goodness TN lives in South Carolina though just barely. Those could be The Great Savannah River, Black Feathered, Dead Animal Control, Predators. Very rare as you can only view them along the wild and free Savannah River. Not to be confused with their cousins the Turkey Buzzards or the Black Chimney Hugging Buzzard of Coastal Georgia of which the latter is rare indeed.

now about the sweet girl ya'll keep referring to in Fayetteville, there was one there that you have described to a tee the first GTG there.

They are very difficult to photograph due to their superior sense of hearing and eyesight. They are also light on their feet so they are difficult to hear as they approach. I may have to use a trail camera if all else fails. I'm sure if I miss it there will be the tell tale mounds they tend to build during their romp in the pine straw. Time will tell, I will do my best.

This critter is found early in the morning. It is LOUD and frisky, but by noon it needs to return to its home when it is unable to catch its prey. Since this critter has only been seen in Florida, although rumored to originate in WV it was capture for posterity sake so all can enjoy and marvel at this semi rare find. With a picture being worth a thousand words it wont take much to put this puzzle together.

In Homosassa Florida for our closing of our new house and came upon the great Homosassa red headed crane. These were about 1/4 mile from our house.

I don't know if you truly realize how rare this photo is. What I think you may have is akin to a photo of Bigfoot, swimming with the Loch Ness Monster, in Willy G Poolboys private pool.
What I think I see is one Homosassa Red Headed Crane standing with two Homosassa Beheaded Cranes. We may need other Critter Gawkers to confirm this, but that is what I think it is. Truly a once in a lifetime unbelievable shot.
I hearby decree that during the WV GTG next month, there will be a meeting of all available Critter Gawking Society Members to decide a proper course of action to study these rare creatures. I know it might be a slight inconvenience, but it may be necessary for several of us to move into your new house for a couple months, to help with this effort.

We may need other Critter Gawkers to confirm this, but that is what I think it is
These critters may be even more rare than one would think - in the 1830s people ate them like turkeys. Just about wiped out the species 'cause they were tasty apparently. Great capture Chains...
-
I don't know if you truly realize how rare this photo is. What I think you may have is akin to a photo of Bigfoot, swimming with the Loch Ness Monster, in Willy G Poolboys private pool.
I think you missed Lizard Man who normally hangs out in SC, but has ventured into FL on rare occasions to frolic with Bigfoot and Loch Ness Monster. This may truly be the find of the decade!

This critter is found early in the morning. It is LOUD and frisky, but by noon it needs to return to its home when it is unable to catch its prey. Since this critter has only been seen in Florida, although rumored to originate in WV it was capture for posterity sake so all can enjoy and marvel at this semi rare find. With a picture being worth a thousand words it wont take much to put this puzzle together.
Is that the famous Road Queen Hub talks about?
-
One in the same :)

If you think the rare red head crane were something, today we stumbled upon the teeth of a hairless florida snowbird. Not sure what happened to the snowbird however there were signs of turkey vultures in the area.

I think the real critters are the ones replying to this post. Will be happy to see all these critters in WV.

No Film Crews as far as we seen, but the Buffalo have been winning the Buffalo vs. Tourist game, Buffalo 4 Tourist 0... we were pretty nervous as we had a bigger bull, way to close for comfort, for a couple of cow pokes form NW Iowa. All's well that ends well.

That "bahr" looks like a baby bigfoot to me...
As you may or may not know there was a rash of Bigfoot sightings reported in MV while we were there. So many that I was quite scared...

Yes, and those sightings were verified, certified, and officially noted with photograhical evidence. How's that Bigfoot repellant going? Just hearing about it the other night has caused us to be Bigfoot-free for over a week. Powerful stuff!

I heard there was a Sasquatch sighting. Doesn't someone have pictures of that?
-
Absolutely Clay!!
There were multiple, and I mean multiple, Sasquatch sightings during the recent MV GTG. It was almost unbelievable!! It was a virtual Sasquatchapalooza!!!
I have a picture of one of the sightings but I am afraid that it might be too shocking for the general public to see. I mean this fine organization is generally a G rated environment and I am not sure that most folks would be ready for such a shocking photo.
If however there was enough interest, I suppose I could post it with the approval of specific folks such as Neal and Gary, and with a disclaimer of course.

Really. Respect the Squatch.

OH boy now you've stepped in it!!! You might get double secret probation over the preemptive posting of that picture....

Dog was barking like crazy on the Lani and went I went out to see what was going on I caught a glimpse of the south bound end of a north bound elusive Florida gopher turtle heading off our property to the neighbors. . Small compared to others I have seen.
-
judging by the blurry picture he must have been really moving.....are you sure that wasn't the even more elusive Florida Cheetah Turtle???? They are cousins you know and difficult to tell one from another particularly from the south end.

On a recent trip to Disney, probably still not safe to swim. The central Florida water worm!!

Surprising they are faster than a normal turtle but by the time I got my phone he was pretty far away. If you run up on them they tuck in fast to protect themselves. They have burrows all over this area. If you run them off more than likely a rather fair size rattle snake takes over the burrow so turtles are my choice. Saw a skin 7 1/2 feet long two streets over from us of a rattlesnake the guy killed in front of his house in April while sunning itself on the road.

Mike it was the Stink Butt Mole. Rarely seen. Waterlogged, it had swollen to twice it's normal size, and figured from the swelling and smell, it was about to blow any minute. My son found it. According to my "rules of the pool" (made up on the spot), he found it, he had to get rid of it. From a distance it smelled like a dead possum combined with a dead armadillo with a little whiff of long dead water rat mixed in. Could hear the neighbors gagging in the next yard.

Need an expert opinion, ruling, or better yet - pondering - on a friend's questions.
If one Bigfoot is called a Bigfoot, would 2 or more in a group be a group of Bigfeet ? And why not Bigfoots if that is the case ? :nixweiss:

Certain members of the CVO Harley Critter Gawking Society, including myself and TN, recently pondered on this very same question. As I recall the concensus was that since the Sasquatch is considered to be part ape and part man, and whereas a quantity of apes is called a Troop and whereas a quantity of men is called a group, that a quantity of Sasquatch is a Troop Group.
Deducing further one can say that a Troop Group is an Army, therefore a group of Sasquatch should logically be called an Army....
Any more questions??

I was recently fishing on a local earthen dam and spied me a Southern WV, Rock Dwellin, Big Tailed, Copperheaded Rattle Moccssin. There are unfortunately no pictures as I was too busy trying to get the heck outta there to take a picture. I have since decided that this critter can have the dam area of the lake as I am not nearly so eager to fish there as before the sighting. I did buy me some shot shells for my 22 mag but have yet to work up the guts to go back. He was a "Biggin". his body was nearly as big as my wrist.

I gawked the remains of this rare critter in South Dakota in August. They are known to burrow underground in the Black Hills, coming out at night in packs to feast upon dogs, cattle, other varmints, bipeds or pretty much anything they can sneak up on. Very dangerous and best left alone if you come upon one…

Time to bring this one back..It's starting to warm up so the critters should be starting to move. Seen something fly across the road and as we got to our turn he was sitting there. Thinking this is the Okie variety of the Whotous Owlous.

I live out in the middle of nowhere east of El Paso, TX. For the past year or so, we were having issues with drug runners (mules) and people smugglers (coyotes) crossing our land at night to by pass the border patrol checkpoints.
To help catch the folks, I set up some game cams near a stock tank we have on our property. We were able to help catch some poachers. The big deer went missing after the poachers came by.
Other then the cows, rabbits, road runners, quail, dove, vultures, we had some interesting visitors.

It is a bobcat. We also have a cougar (feline type) who passes thru the area. I just don’t have any pictures yet.
We did have a photo of a coyote that was very red and everyone thought it was a Mexican red wolf. The local game warden told us it was a coyote. Red wolves around here were wiped out.

Tail looked long to me in the pic. Saw bobcats in West Texas. Have never seen a wolf there - any kind. Saw a lot of coyotes people liked to call wolves, have seen some reddish ones but not as red as you describe. Foxes, porcupines - you name it. Cougar I saw was a female, tailing a doe with 2 young fawns at about dusk. Let her walk, no doubt 1 less fawn by the next morning.
You have a good place & a good spot for a camera. Enjoyed your pics. :2vrolijk_21:

We stopped in the manatee area on the Merritt island wildlife Refuge and saw these little guys. Was able to get them to about 10 feet away.
We then parked and got a glimpse of this Gator, there was a manatee 5 feet away from him but didn’t get the shot. Still pretty neat to see

Been raining almost daily for 2 weeks. Bad for scooter ridin but proves our ecosystem is not as bad as I thought. Baby Alligator Snapper showed up on my driveway

And though not really animals, best variety I've seen in a while

Harry the more pics you post, critters and food, the more I am seeing a trip to Florida in our future.

Love the Lamingo pics. Beautiful birds and colorful. :2vrolijk_21:

Gatlinburg pizza stealing bear
-
That's a really good sighting, Mike
It could have been black bear date night too, maybe it's mate was in the bathroom.
-
Have eaten at Howard's in Gatlinburg Mike but is not my pic. I posted it just like I stole it. ;D
If baby bear was there too it could mean the bears are switching from porridge to pizza. :nixweiss:
-
Dead bear walking. :-\

Mama Grizzly and her 3 cubs on Chief Joseph Highway.

Looks like Mama bear has her eyes on you. :nervous:

Not my picture, thought it was a good one. Raccoon riding a hog staring at a possum.

Northeast Ohio
walking flying rat. He thought he was going to help me while I was working at a terminal in a customer's front yard.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181006/eaf7d16fab098ae05e3e103a584d62e1.jpg)
Sent from my boring Droid phone.
-
Extraordinarily brilliant plumage for a rat. Very unusual indeed
-
Agreed. Rumor is these rats can fly & their main hobby is crapping on statues.
-
It also appears that this particular rat has been banded. Could this be a decendant of the elusive carrier rat used extensively in WW I?
-
Good catch. Either that or it's a court ordered ankle monitor?
-
Could be a homing pigeon that got lost and wanted to ask you for directions. ;D

Couldn't see it if it was......most have been cut off

Looks like he's in mid-strut, like John Travolta going down the street in Saturday Night Fever. Probably has it's white suit hanging in a closet.

Wile E Coyote making a visit for the end of 2018. Roadrunner was a no show.
-
Was able to get a ride in a couple weeks ago and just now getting around to posting these. One of those time I wish I had had a good camera with me instead of just my phone.
-
Wow, very nice picture. Love to see Bald Eagles. Have three pair on the Lake I live on.

Came across this eagle on a ride in southeast Indiana today. When I first spotted it there were 2 birds sitting there, but by the time I got turned around and off the bike only 1 was left.
-
Clay
I love Eagles so thanks for posting. Bet a dollar against a donut the other bird went back to the nest below. They should have eaglets this time of year.
-
This little fur ball critter showed up in the yard three years ago. I put some food down for him and he never left.
It's only been this year he has let me touch him. He now comes out of the hedge into the yard when I'm out there.
-
I'm posting this because just this week he has started to interact with us. Taken yesterday
-
Taken just now,......I think he wants in and of course he's named blackie
-
You named him. Next picture will be inside and on lap. :apple: :cherry:

Certainly a scary situation for all, and we hope you & yours stay safe.
Our daughter is currently living in Maryborough, Queensland and needless to say we're worried for her safety and wonder if it is time for her to relocate. :nixweiss:
God bless and keep all safe.

CVOStreetglide, Grizzly.
Thanks for your thoughts.
-
This critter was gawking at me this morning.
-
Who??
-
Who??
That's what he said.
-
3 of them come to the house, they fly over the fence to eat the sunflower seeds from the cardinal bird-feeder that get knocked off.

The sax playing squatch sightings are rare, I'm sure he'll recruit more to form The Big Feet Band. :nixweiss:
-
Huh....
I didn't know Harry played the sax...
What a minute that could be Jeff, no he flies the Millennium Falcon..
;D
-
Just proof you have me confused with another Squatch.
