Saturday's Critters

 Here is the last (I think) Monarch for the season. We don't get too many, despite having loads of milkweed.



A highlight of the trailcam harvest!


The critters are preparing for winter or for migration. 'Dratted Red Squirrel, 'the cats love them!

What a cute fawn picture! It won't be long now, and they will lose their spots. Autumn can be bittersweet, such a precious time of the year, but with the threat of winter right behind it, it can be depressing.

Hello Jenn,
A great critter post. I love the Monarch butterfly, the spotted fawn and the fisher. I would be spooked having the coyote around. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Always so much fun to see your critters! Last night we watch 21 turkeys march past our house and towards the meadow out back. It was quite the sight! I just refreshed our one camera out back and am looking forward to seeing what goes on again!
I enjoy these! Thank you!

Oh boy, you've got enough critters to make up for my only having one, which I borrowed from the internet. The variety of critters around you is pretty amazing.

I haven't seen any monarchs, and they are wise to avoid my suburbia.

I've never seen a fisher and they are strange looking critters. Love that pretty Monarch! WOW!

We get no monarchs, not anymore 😢 We get viceroys, though, so that's something...

You pick up such good critters! I couldn’t find the mouse.

I haven't seen many Monarchs this year and not really many butterflies at all.

OH the critters you have!! All we get our rabbits, squirrels, birds, a cat every now and then and every so often a raccoon.

Beautiful photos and videos, especially the squirrel.

I'm always amazed at all the wildlife you're able to see. I wish the monarchs would come back to Hawaii. I only see the occasional swallowtail.
