Crumbly Acres Critters

 It's a big day. We were originally having our Aussie Tree Care people here Aug. 6th to clean up our trees topped by the big July 1st wind storms. Since we've had rain for a few days, they elected to switch job dates. They don't need to climb any trees at our places. The debris is all over the place. 

They are to arrive between 7:30 and 7:45 today, July 29th. I shall have to get to it. I have to show them the damage in several spots on our 16 acres. We'll see you on the other side. 

The Monarchs like the Bugloss!

 

Phoebe has raised two broods., 8 chicks They are still hanging around. This was during Brood #2. 

 

Cinnamon and Nutmeg alerted to a pair of deer! I took a video of the deer cautiously moving around the edge of the forest.

   

 I was standing looking out and heard a Loon calling on a flyby! I couldn't see it, but I could hear it. 

   

 Loons are so beautiful! Aug. 9, 2013, these are my best shots, I think.

Do you know they change colour in winter?! We once delivered one to a rehab facility for someone to Lake Ontario.

Here it was in the crate.  

I'll leave you with a fan favourite, Fred, and her new burrow, #6A.
