How much rain do we need?! The clouds kept circling counter-clockwise. The poor, wet critters. Finally, Friday, there was an actual sunrise. It was a miracle! Today, as well!
Fred groundhog has had a good sleep. I spotted him out back Thursday, May 4th. He has come out of his burrow, and was nibbling on the grass. Apparently, he has forgotten me. He jogged away in fear, as only a groundhog can do, as he has never seen me before!

You can see their antlers beginning to grow. This is part 2 of the May 4th visitation! They moved around the sideyard to the frontyard!

😀 Love all your critters, always. As for rain, don't even... YAM xx
I wonder if the bucks have headaches as their antlers are growing. Not expecting an answer...
That is thrilling to have the birds nesting again.
So many wonderful creatures to observe at your place!
How I love your critters...
Hello Jenn :=)
I also felt sorry for the very wet Groundhog. It is fabulous that the two different species of birds have made their nests under your top deck. I hope all will be well, remembering your other visitors like the raccoon who i'm sure eats eggs! You managed to get some really good shots of the eggs with your new scope. Lovely to see the bucks in your garden which is greening up nicely.
All the best.
Robins are common here, though I am still excited to see a nest. We don't have phoebes. That sounds exciting!
How wonderful to be able to see the eggs starting to hatch.
What beautiful photos and videos.
Lovely when the deer come into your garden.
Greetings Irma
That groundhog looks quite put out.
Jenn - good for you to capture the photos of the eggs. Just, you worry me when you say you are standing on a box - careful, my dear!
Before we left on our trip today, I saw a swallow pair checking out one of our boxes. They have done this in years past and then moved on - maybe this is the year!
You stay busy watching your critters and keeping up with everything that visits! Take care and enjoy your week!
Cute critters, great shot of the Groundhog. Love the deer videos.
