Skunk

Set a trap to see who's been digging at the play-yard fence -- got a skunk.  (Video is a bit shaky as I was crouching down to get the shot.)

Baby Catbird

Baby Catbird perched on a rock after fledging early this morning.  

[Its nest was in the same Eastern Hemlock from which I evicted a nest of bees back on July 23, 2018.  That tree is like an apartment complex.  We'll see how the Hemlock does after I trim it back hard once everyone moves out.  Been waiting to trim it for some time now.]

A nice morning to lounge in the sun.

While across the street, one doe with 4 fawn.

================================================================

Apparently baby deer aren't the only ones to get stuck on the opposite side of a fence from their mom.

Later, happily togther.

Cicada Shell

Found this abandoned exoskeleton (exuviae) of a cicada while weeding the garden.

While a Yellow-shafted Flicker explored the yard.

Mystery vine in the garden is finally starting to fruit......might be cantaloupe or honeydew melon?
(Update from mid-September:  It's a cantaloupe.  And tasty too!!)
