We still have hummingbirds, but the insect-eating song birds have seriously quieted down,. I suppose I jinxed it, as I wrote that before Joe found one.
The other biting bugs have lessened. This, too, is a good thing.
I made a comment that Butch raccoon hasn't been around much. Nor had I seen any kits.
There are two bullfrogs in the goldfish pond, as well as the 8 goldfish. This one sits and waits for bugs to come down the plant and eats them up! It doesn't ming if I watch it. It is intense.
The fishies and froggies tolerate one another. Sometimes the fish nibble on froggie's toes, accidentally, but all is usually forgiven.
I spotted the doe and buck awhile back. Here is the doe on the driveway. That driveway is a great path for the critters!
Down at the frog pond, coyote is up to his old tricks, peeing in front of the camera! They really are funny.

Interesting that you chart the ticks like that. Might be useful information for a researcher.

My word, those fish are thriving! YAM xx
That’s such a vivid update! 🌿 I love it. How you describe the balance between all the creatures — the frogs, goldfish, deer, even the coyote. It feels like your backyard is full of little stories every day. Thank you so much oh and what a big frog in the video 🐟🐸🦌
I've only had a couple of ticks this year but I HATE them! I spray my ankles before a hike though and I'm sure that helps. Love your wildlife and the pics and videos! Hugs!
Fall is approaching. The only birds I have been seeing are sparrows.
Your Cam shots are always fascinating ~ love the deer ~ great post ~ happy weekend to you ~ ^_^

Great critter photos. I love the the frog, the deer and the fish.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
My loved one is really sick with Lyme disease right now. Been in hospital three times before they figured out what was making them so ill. It's pretty awful. I have a momma and three or four kits coming around again. I wonder if they have a second litter because I'm sure she had a gang early in the spring.
I just love all the different critters you have around you.
I've only got two ticks this summer. I hate the little buggers and their diseases just keep getting nastier.
It's the chiggers that kill me and the occasional mosquito.
Ticks? Shudder. Love your other critters.
You have the most fun with your camera! And that deer photo is a gem!
Thank goodness that the biting bugs have lessened.
All the best Jan
You had me going with the coyote until I finally say it on the right. I hate ticks! Even though I rarely stay out long enough to get one, two found me this year.
