Wildlife near you :)

We had a 125 acre farm in KY. Lots of wildlife...dozens of deer and turkey, bald eagle, Sand Hill Cranes would mingrate in and land in the fields (easily a thousand at a time), and this was on the front door mat-while the door was propped open...Yep, it is a copperhead


Now we live in VA. Still see the same animals in the back yard....lots of deer, a bald eagle, skunks, snakes, spiders, toads. But we did have one guest on the deck that I was not too fond of... it was dark and I took the picture through a window screen...but the black blob circled in red between the deck chair and wishing well is a black bear.

Here is a foot print in our front yard From a bigger bear

Watched a bobcat hunt and kill a large squirrel in my back yard this morning. Very cool.

We had coyotes in KY. I seen one drag a fawn out of a field. I guess the mom had left it there in the tall grass and the coyote found it :0/

Tarantulas will soon close their burrows for winter, right now they are very active looking for a mate.

Did you say a snake? My daughter and her friend went out on the back deck to smoke and when they turned around to go back in this little guy was sitting on the windowsill right next to the door to come in. I couldn't tell you what kind it was but as far as we were concerned it was half black mamba and half king cobra..

 

[NeptuneGarden]

Probably a black rat snake. They like to climb stuff.

 

[smokin'reefer]

Yeah,we actually determined the snakes help keep the mice population down. This one had to go though. We knocked it down and I put 10 rounds with my 40 cal at it. When we picked it up , it only had one hole. I knew it was because I am such a good shot all rounds went in same spot. When we tell this story back home my daughter always brings up the holes in the garden hose, but when I go into warrior mode to defend my family the reflexes are to quik and I'm sure the hose flinched at one point or another.

This mantis loves this sunflower, the mantis has been hanging out on the flower for days eating bees and flies.

That is an amazing picture! It's so amazing that I can see it being one of the given desktops to choose from on a Windows or Mac computer.
