Sitting on patio watching watching God’s gift of creation in nature. Cool breeze, temps in the 70’s. So far have seen a Wood Duck land in my pond. A Merganzer fly over, a cottontail romp by my gazebo, Doves, Mockingbirds, Cardinals, Sparrows, Wrens, and Blackbirds come to my bird feeder. Better show than anything on TV!

Trail camera,but i can set on the porch and watch these little devils all evening.from just across the driveway.
A couple videos of a mother wood chuck moving her young right toward the fox den, don't know what she's thinking.
A couple rooster pheasant crowing this evening. Too many Goldfinch and Orioles around now to count. I need to check the wood duck boxes behind the house, 2 had hens they should be hatched buy now .

They started coming to my pond several years ago. Had a pair hatch out 14 one summer. My tame Mallards have to get to the feeder fast to eat. Have currently around 15 hang out all day. By October may have 200 as they prepare to move out.
