Sweet Summer Critters


Let's start with a black and white image of some geese and then look at a gray squirrel.




The little wren was singing prettily. I took his picture on Thursday. Yesterday the big post he was on was removed, one of the final steps in clearing out the area where our above-ground pool had sat for years. I need to find another perch for the birds that I can view from my window.

Next are some farm animals we saw near Reliance, followed by a rabbit in our back yard. 


I missed several pictures of this catbird today because he kept hopping forward.

The final bird has a mouth full of food for baby birds. I retreated after taking the picture because I could hear the babies chirping in a bird house nearby and I didn't want to scare off the parent.

    Great photos. My favorite is definitely of the Carolina wren singing away! Makes me miss our little wren who wandered off to sing somewhere else.

    You live in a great place for wildlife! I can almost hear that wren (and he sounds much better than the city sparrows I’m hearing right now in real life). Hope you figure out a good perch for the birds as part of your big re-do! It’s pretty nice to see and hear them out your window!
