What an exquisite place to watch the birds be so happy. Really, to watch all animals be in their element. The rabbits, chipmunks, skunks, wild turkeys and of course, the occasional bear (which I have yet to see, but Fred has seen). I’ve heard about their sitings, and one was very close. We’ve been close enough to smell them (smells like a wet dog, which some people can’t smell it, me included – but Fred can, whew!). We’ve seen fresh piles of doo… the ground freshly dug where they likely dug up a bee’s nest (I had no idea), fresh claw marks near an apple tree, the list goes on. You learn so much! #YOAHBEAR

This photo was taken a while back. I have many photos of the (prolific) hummingbirds, but the birds that eat the feed out of the regular feeders I’ve not paid much attention to. They work so hard for so long, it’s impressive. They’re pretty fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the country. It’s pure heaven.

🐻 Happy Saturday! Until next time…
