Camera Critters

I arrived home Thursday from Ottawa. Mini-Freds have been digging and I have to deal with that. 

It is finally Spring, the 8 fishies are out in the pond. The pond lilies aren't growing yet, but they'll hid under the leaves. I think there is a hole in the goldfish pond. Plus we've not had much rain, it's not filling itself up from the rain barrel. 

Anyway, critters... I've been focusing on Fred and mini-Freds 1 & 2. I've neglected the other critters. The spring peeper tadpoles!

   


 The red-eyed vireos are seemingly in full nesting mode. Singing away! 

   


 The coyotes have been very active in May. They took two groundhog kits, which is why groundhogs have 2 - 9 kits!

 


They like the driveway as a travel path! This one crossed the yard.

   


 The porcupine has appeared twice on the trailcams lately.

 

More chores today. We'll see what trouble the groundhogs get into. I've 3 blackfly bites from yard work. I should have put on bug spray and sunscreen. sigh.

  2. Here's hoping the pond can stay full of water for the goldfish. Good to see your different critters, as well as the remaining Frederikas.

  8. Fred and Mini Fred's are cute. I've only seen Coyotes a few times but they are starting to come into the city to raid the trash.

  13. Good luck saving the goldfish from drowning — I mean the opposite of drowning.

  14. Great post. I love the critters you've included. I followed your link from Saturday Critters. When we had a pond, I loved capturing tadpoles and letting them mature in it.
