Saturday's Critters

 It's another cold morning. We woke to 1 ℃ and I am agonizing about bringing in the fish from the pond. The leopard frogs are beginning to move to the pond. I am having fun watching the two bullfrogs, who are getting rather large.

 The bullfrog hides in the sun in the foliage, digesting another wee frog! Ah, the circle of life. Here, I put arrows in to show you how close the two were. Plus Bullfrog has great camouflage. 

It was a lovely day yesterday, as has been the rest of the week. The leaves are dropping, though. 

There was our annual August flying ant moments on Sept. 1st.They fly off to find a new place for their colony.

 

I found ants when I turned a rock over. 

   

 The skunk is in the forest, Sept. 5th.

   

 I think I saw the last of the wood thrush Sept. 10th.

   

 The coyote with the wounded leg is still doing OK!

   

 We had a visit from Butch, who inspected the burrow under the deck until a large moth scared it! 

   

 The fisher loped by in the forest Sept. 10. Also, it came back Sept. 12th. I won't bore you with another video of it! They are hunting more seriously for food with the cooler weather. I love it's loping run, though.

   

 I'll leave you with the bucks! They've lost the velvet off of their antlers. mating season begins in November, they will be ready.
