Little Buck


I guess we are seeing the whole family now.  This is our neighbor's yard.

I moved the bird feeder

Had in the yard but Russ was eating the seed.  Didn't want it in the front yard.  I wanted to draw birds in from the woods.
So, this morning I saw a Chickadee on the feeder who was quickly chased away by a squirrel who once again figured out he can't get at the seed.

"Our" deer paid a visit yesterday morning


 

 
We've been noticing them in the morning foraging around.  I've been waiting for some bird action at the feeder after I moved it to this oak tree but you can see they were checking out the treats.
I was fortunate enough to get a head-on shot.
Russ and I ran into them again last night behind our neighbors yard.

Sheriff Russ is sniffing up the wrong tree

He knows full well the squirrels have been in his yard.  He saw them from the window but wanted to verify a few things.

Don't blink...I think I saw a mink...

And saw what I first thought was a squirrel in the distance.  But it seemed bigger and it was dark brown.  I think I saw my first wild mink.  They do climb trees and we are close enough to water for it to make sense.  I did not take this picture.

Happy Thanksgiving

Bike trail that runs behind our house.
Future location for her senior picture?
Dean, Jon and Jake blaze a new trail.
We broke in the new digs with a nice Thanksgiving gathering.  Here are some photos from our walk on the trail…
