People are so kind to say they are fans of my critter posts. It lifts me up. I have fun watching our critters. The challenge is to film them. It keeps me sharp and gives me some goals.
I emerged from the meadow, rising up the path, to find a lovely bird. I must admit I was slightly disappointed it was 'just' a young robin with speckles on its breast, but in the grand scheme of things I cannot be disappointed. I know I am privileged to live here.

In the forest, finally a couple of critters, Butch and a coyote. They've been hiding out from the bugs.

Chad coyote had to 'powder his nose' in front of the camera, as usual!

Butch was in the meadow, as well.

The fawn slipped across the camera's field of vision!

Someone was sniffing, I think the doe!

...the running fawn is neat!
I love them all! From the tiniest insect to the bear in the woods they make our wonderful ecosystem what it is. Now if only we could stop tampering with it......
Great critter videos, I am a fan too. I saw my first Monarch this week.
The deer are always a favorite of mine. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Wow! A Monarch! How special! Love the deer and your new banner is beautiful too!

I dunno - could be the bear doing the sniffing! Always fun to see the movement in your backyard. YAM xx
Summertime should have lots of critters, among whom are the insects, and sadly enough they like to bite.
Hello. All these videos are great.
Us rural dwellers certainly live a priviledged life, of sorts. When I think of how "normal" our lives went on when the world was in lockdown. It's pretty quiet around here right now. Many of our birds and critters have gone deep into the forest, where I refuse to walk with the bugs and ticks. We still have a pheobe fussing around the back porch. She wasn't to pleased that I chose to have my morning coffee out there today. Mike thinks she might have done her second nesting under there. I'm not crawling through the shrubbery to find out.
Robins are common here, but I love them anyway :) The coyote looks big! I'm impressed with your pollinators. I'm trying to attract more of them, which doesn't seem to be an issue you have to deal with ;) Congrats on the monarch :)
I enjoy your observations and videos. Good post again!
Wonderful!
Your critters a re so different from what I see in the city although I heard there has been a coyote hanging around the neighbourhood.
I love your critters - which are total exotica for me.
A great set of videos.
Happy Saturday and weekend wishes.
All the best Jan
I always wonder what critters think of trail cams. They're certainly aware of it.
Love the fawn video, especially in slow motion. Bugloss seems to attract a lot of bees, and the Monarch is just plain beautiful. I'm looking up Bugloss for more info.
Love that dashing deer!
loved the video of the butterfly :)
