Saturday's Critters

The wetland has been a bit of water in it. We had lots of rain this week. Barry Beaver is digging out a canal. Wetland beavers have to have different techniques.  Same lodge configuration, but the water has been so shallow.


This is the remains of Barry Beaver's work meal. I wonder if he is creating another lodge. 

 

I bought me a new trailcam stand with a gift certificate. Thanks, Caitlin!


What I ended up with was some great shots of fireflies... as well as the Imperial Moths.

Imperial Moth

FIREFLIES! The pregnant doe wanders across the yard, as well.



We got the deer fence up in good time. Here is the doe munching non-garden plants! A win for me!
   

 I've no need for defences against the bears. They just amble by. The bird feed is in. The garbage and yummy things are locked in the garage. If they wander about and there is no food they get the message. This one has a bad limp. I feel badly. I haven't seen it since June 15.

    This looks like a good size bear. Jenn, you all have such a huge array of different kinds of critters...even a lightning bug...I haven't see one in years.

    That bear looks huge compared to the small black bears here. I'm missed Crumbly Acres my friend!

    Your imperial moth is a real beauty and I am always fascinated by what appears in your videos, also your photos. I am sending healing vibes for that bad limp to go away.

    I got to hear your fountain and the traffic in the first shot. I seldom leave the sound up like that.

    Sad for the bear. I hope the pregnant deer makes it. Beavers are very clever.

    Most people would miss these critters as they don't have a camera set up.

    Gosh, I'm glad your bears only want food and give up. Pretty sure that's not Paddington. Linda in Kansas
