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.

Coyotes and Turkeys

 We've had quite a bit of turkey traffic recently.  Even captured a fanned tail (it's mating season)...

2025 Catch Up ~ What's been going on in January and February?

 The usual suspects...

Coyote Pics from my neighbor

 Brian moves his camera around.  This position was closer to the pond near the gazebo in the Tai Dam Village.  Exceptional photos...

Owl Be Back!

 Ky was barking at something enough I had to come up from work to see what the fuss was about.

And here was this Barred Owl sitting in our yard.  Cindy thought maybe it was hurt.  I went outside in an effort to shoo it away.  

Left me an owl pellet

Four turkeys passing through

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

Catching up (3 buck pics and a youngster)

October and November activity of note...

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