I did not expect to attract a wild turkey to the feeder!

I did not expect to attract a wild turkey to the feeder!

I discovered the most fascinating growth today in a corner of our land.
Maiden-Mother-Crone.

$10 on the cat. :)

Put up a grill to guard the deer feeder. Abs will not be deterred!

A herd of 8 this morning moved quickly past. I sincerely believe our terrier would have joined them if we’d let her! Glad for these moments of joy.

Our hunter, having been foiled at every turn, bleakly acknowledges each new bird with a chirp.

This dude here? We’ve named him Abs. He will hang from the deer feeder like this and do a crunch, get a kernel, chomp it down and repeat. He’ll keep at it for far longer than you’d think he would. He’s got a distant cousin I’m thinking of naming Wallenda.

Can’t get much more blatant than this!

This little one flew into our sliding door and has been recovering for about 15-20 minutes now. Thankfully our fur babies are showing empathy and haven’t been making a racket. This definitely cements my argument for hanging wreaths on the back of the house too!

Birdwatching!

This morning we’ve had pileated woodpeckers, titmice, nuthatches, juncos, chickadees. It’s wet so not as busy yet.

This majestic creature swooped down just above the tree line next to our driveway and then circled back. This is the first bald eagle I’ve seen here since we moved in. I’m so happy!
