Where do the seasons go? Here it is Thanksgiving weekend. Things are unfolding as it should. The birds are migrating, the bugs have lessened. The ladybugs are on the move. I was bitten twice as they gathered looking for a warm spot for winter.
We had a massive dump of rain October 2nd,12 mm, but it didn't seem to worry the turkeys. Sound on, if you like to listen to the rain!turkeys in the rain from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
The coyote seems to like the new driveway. They keep leaving their mark!coyotes from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
The buck made an appearance, as well.buck from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
I put the trailcam beside the spot where the coyote left a mark. It didn't come back, but the blue jay landed on top of the camera.blue jay from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
Butch raccoon has been busy, too. This was interesting, as there was one in the background behind the tree, watching the other four carefully. I imagine it's better having safety in numbers.Butch raccoon from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.
Finally, 🐻SNUGGLE Bears
This is a deer skull I found in the forest! It has their attention.

Hi Jenn! :) I love all the videos, watching the turkeys walk, they are so graceful! What a great video of the buck! Coyotes have been pooping left and right in this area, marking their territory. I love the Blue Jay looking into the camera! Your Teddy Bear photo is wonderful! Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving!!
Lots of interesting critters.
Happy Thanksgiving! You sure have a lot of wildlife there. I'm glad to know they are safe while they roam your place!
Your trail cams seem to get busier.

I wish our rain sounded like your rain... instead, we have washing machine against the windowpane stuff, with the occasional zipper against the glass sound - don't even want to think what made that behind the curtains!
As ever, your critters delight. YAM xx
Jenn - reassuring to know that Nature is carrying on despite the crazy humans! Love the raccoons and how they all seem to be pointed in the same direction! Happy Thanksgiving!
Those are the lucky turkeys. Lots of critters on the move. - Margy
The bears are fascinated by that skull!
The turkeys take the rain in stride.
Oh my gosh! So many woodland critters. I'm still so amazed to see wild turkeys.
The seasons are rolling on too fast!
Enjoyed the refreshing rain sounds. The turkeys don't seem to mind the drops a bit. :)
