Frogs, ducks, Cinnamon

Spring unfolds! We had a major dump of rain. Everything is green and dewy. Cinnamon is happy to sit on the front deck bird watching. He doesn't go after the birds, he knows he can't catch them. He's on the lookout for squirrels! Nutmeg cat is a different story. She is restricted, even though she is smaller. 

I took Cinnamon down to the pond. Apparently, this is a spot worth nestling into.


If you view the video, you can see him making dough! Happy cat.
 

I came back up to the house, he went to visit the ducks. 

Frogs on frog pond.



I found some Trillium.

This is the view from Fred's Shed to the house, with his errant hole. So far he hasn't managed to remove the log I inserted.

 Pine Warbler? I spotted a wee gray bird, gathering soft stuff for a nest. I think it might be this species. Merlin confuses warbler songs! 


Out front, the doe was about. I have gotten my deer fence out, ready to put up. She still looks pregnant.

 

Cinnamon had the zoomies!

Cute photos of your kitties and the frogs.
The warbler looks like a Black-throated Green Warbler, I could be wrong. Take care, have a great day!

The doe looks very pregnant.

Love the Cinnamon videos & pics. Good to see trilium growing naturally there as well as our woods here.

Thank you and your critters for this celebration of spring.

The spring croaking of frogs in the ditch, ravine, and dugout is deafening but I can never spot one! Why is that!

It's certainly greening up in your part of the world.
I enjoyed your photographs.

All the best Jan
