Welcome to Sawyers Landing.  I'm Alan Andrew and my goal is to share things I see from our backyard and neighboring woods and trails. I will mix in family gatherings and of course pictures of Ky, our Standard Poodle.  You'll see plenty of pics and posts of Russell - our dearly departed Standard and really a key component of even getting me outside.  This post is purposely pinned to the top so look below for the most recent posts.

"Posts" will appear in chronological order but that's just how a blog is set up to work.  I can "label" (categorize) posts by a name or topic and that is how I see the blog being used.  To find categories, look at the menu (File Cabinet) on the right.  So for example if you want to see posts related to "Buck", then click on that and see them.  At any time, you can click at the top of the page and go back "home".  If you are in a label/category and get to the bottom of the page, look for "Older Posts" and you can continue until there are no more posts for that category.

 

This is not my backyard but I like this photo taken by my grandson Jacob.

Four turkeys passing through

 Yesterday I saw seven of them in the woods.  Ky barked to let me know she saw these four today...

October and November activity of note...

Had a pumpkin go bad early so cut up for consumption...

Well, Owl Be!

 I was looking out the back window with Kyanne for a minute and saw a shape of something flying into our tree by the back fence.  From the size, I knew it was a hawk, owl or vulture.

I went out to take a look, and here is a Barred Owl hanging out...

I knew raccoons were getting in the trash, but I wanted to see how they were doing it...
