Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillar

Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillar  (Lophocampa caryae)

And yet again I'm down on the ground taking a picture when a neighbor walks by  :)  ["Hi Cecilia."]

Spike Horn

430 p.m.  Spike horn having an afternoon nibble.  

Like it when he eats the weeds!

Great Spangled Fritillary

A very weary looking Great Spangled Fritillary (Speyeria cybele) visiting our pink Buddlea.

Turkey Hen chase Cat

About 5 p.m. this evening, a mother turkey with poult in tow shows how to run off an interloper.

(Poor photo quality due to these being screen grabs from our security camera.)

Bedraggled fox

Around 9:45 a.m. a bedraggled fox was in the neighborhood.  

These pics are taken from our security camera.

What isn't seen in the pictures is the group of 5 male turkeys just on the other side of the driveway watching the fox.  

Nor can be heard the group of birds -- crows, bluejays, etc -- calling frantically from nearby trees.

Woolly Bear

WOOLLY BEAR !

Down on the ground for this pic too --  Only this time a neighbor caught me in the act.  :)   ["Hi Kay."]

Mama and baby turkey still running about.  

(Laid down on the front lawn to get this video.)

Mama deer nursing 2 fawns.  Look closely to see the two tails wagging.  

(Sorry, video had to be short so I could transfer it from my ipad.)
