Saturday's Critters

 I enjoy critters both large and small. OK, maybe not the bugs, but we have to take the good with the bad. 

 
 


The big moths are now out and about.

   

 The snakes are coming out in the daytime and the sunshine. Otherwise, they are now where to be seen! They run in fear. 

   

 There are small achievements that keep me happy. I managed to capture the quick red fox on three cameras. It begins in the back, on my Wifi camera. Then it runs so quickly by the Crumbly Acres camera that I had to slow the clip down. Finally, my Gardepro catches it on the driveway. Can you believe how fast they are?

   

 The Osprey are back and sitting on nests. They eat fish and snakes, and such. The wetland water doesn't have any fish. I am fascinated.
They continue to visit the wetland. Sound up, if you are curious!

   

 I was having a hard time keeping up with the nuthatch in its nest, climbing up the tree! "A day late and a dollar short!"

   

 Out back, under the great pine tree, a pair of Brown Creepers. Sound up, again. They were happy to entertain me while shopping for snacks. (The birds, not me!)

You are the queen of trail cameras. I love your osprey and it's huge twig nest.
Brumation is over here as well. I accidentally stepped on a rough green snake on Thursday. It was not hurt but he was mad and sped his little 6" long pencil then body away.

I am still seeing few birds down here compared to normal although I have seen a large group Blue Jays flying over.

I've yet to see a brown creeper or an osprey here, but when I hear one or see the other I'll know what they are, thank you. -Kate

Yogi, that is so much fun to read! It is my hobby and gives me great joy. It gets me out walking in the forest to fetch the memory cards.

I wish I had your knack for puns and pithy comments, AC!
