I know AC does some lovely photography, and I thought of him as I realized the difference between these photos. Mind you, it wasn't on purpose. My cataracts worsen as I await surgery. I'm happy with the autofocus most days. Which do you prefer?
The Question Mark chrysalis under the stove vent eclosed today, too! It's a bit dark, as we are having rain.
I'm so sad, this monarch isn't viable. I found it on the ground. Placing it on a food source, the phlox, I left it be.
Hooper has had a bit of an incident! He has a scratch on his nose...
The turkeys grazed the back yard for us. They are all about a lot of the time.
And now, the videos!
I'd watched trailcam videos of the turkeys, and they were quite quiet. Suddenly, there was a capture of them clucking at the forest. I wondered what was giving them grief!
We've watched these turkey chicks go from small to nearly adult-sized. I love how the females watch over their combined broods, and the males waltz around without worries!
I'm loving how the trailcams capture different moments in the secret life of our forest dwellers. The fox thought it got away – just a blur on trailcam #1, but it appeared on trailcam 2!
I was out in the backyard, filling the fountain, and spotted a doe, followed by two fawns. I was disappointed, as I couldn't figure out where they had gone. I rushed over to the top of the hill, above the meadow, and they seemed to run on the other side. Then, recovering the trailcam footage, there they were!
The butterflies are grabbing the last of the pollen.
Feeder action: this is the silly mourning dove that perched here for a long time. It ignored the blue jays.
Our big buck was curious about the trailcam.
For more critters...

Hello,
Awesome collection of videos and critters. I love the deer and those turkeys are cool. What a great sighting. Beautiful Monarch! Thank you for sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
AC has a cataract developing too. Sniff.
Not too bad yet though.

Always look forward to your critters posts, Jenn, as you have an abundance! YAM xx
As always, your Critter Captures are wonderful. Hooper certainly has a fun filled, adventurous life!
Loved the doe & fawn video...but all are super. You have an active 'back yard'...full of wonderment.
too bad it's getting cooler out.
I know you will be glad to get the surgery done. It's hard to tell the difference on my computer! Love your trail cams of course! Happy weekend!
Nice pictures. Like them.
