Saturday's Critters

 We've had a thaw and we're back in the deep freeze. There are lots of birds back. The overwintering butterflies have awoken. So have the ticks! The geese are the best harbinger of spring. Everyday, I hear the sound. It's wonderful.




 I noticed a crow up above the deer feeders. They are really quite fearful of me.



Saturday's Critters # 381


Yes, the sounds of spring! This dipstick zooms by all the time on his Motorcycle . I can hear him coming along the highway.


The Turkeys Mar 29 are still around.

 

  

The porcupine has been visiting, passing through this trail between the frog pond and the wetland. These are archive photos, since the trailcam isn't very good.


You'll notice it has a leaf stuck to its back! Porcupine Mar 31 
 


Coyote Mar 31  came by. He was really upset by the big winds up high in the trees. I think, if I watch closely enough,  I could tell them apart by their behaviour. Probably not. I have no patience left, nor perseverance.

 


Our deer population has folded itself back into the forest. With the buds bursting, and the grass thinking about greening up, they have food.
This was a peculiar one. I don't know why the buck is chasing the two does. Bully! Buck and does

Hello, Jenn

That was a loud motorcycle. The porcupine is cool, neat capture of the deer being chased. Do I hear church bells ringing or is it chimes? We have gone back to the chilly weather too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

The coyote is very nervous.

Maybe he saw greener grass!! Lovely graceful girls, and such long legs, no wonder they can run so quickly.
