Saw a wood chuck last night. Did not have time to get a picture but had time to grab my Grand Mother's 22.   ;)
Wood chuck went into the garden and climbed onto the big rock in the garden. There is a big split in this rock, about 6 inches across. Rock is about 4 feet high at it's highest point. Them critters like to hide between that crack. Third one I have shot in that crack. It's a bother to get them out of there.
Not much going on, at this time of year. Turkeys daily, but have not seen a deer out front for a long time.

This toad is a big insect eating machine. He's been around for years and is everywhere in the shop


One American toad can eat 1,000 insects a day!

Yeah, they are pretty long lived, 50 or so years to get to that size. They do seem to move around a bit, but 2 or 3 will usually show up for food.

No one else has said it, so I will, crack shot, huh?

A few years ago a big toad hung out at night by my garage. He was welcome here. Had to be careful so as not to step on him when I went outside after dark.

We have a large grey fox that I have seen twice in two years.  This past winter there were three deer hanging around for several months. A flock of wild turkeys passed through around the same time.  Also checking out the place have been an opossum, a raccoon, the neighbors dogs, and an all white feral female cat. A thousand squirrels keep our cats entertained.

I don't know if you call them critters but we have a magnificent Pileated Woodpecker flying around among other birds and two days ago we encountered a 4-5ft long Eastern Ratsnake.

These little guys were born awhile back and now they are learning to fly. This gives you a idea of how fast they grow. First picture was June 12th

I see the usual critters you'd expect -deer, turkeys, bear, foxes, coyotes, hawks, eagles, gray squirrels.  We do have fox squirrels occasionally and I saw a mink in the creek a couple of years ago. 

I thought Godzilla was in the shed of my shop a couple of weeks ago.  Just turned out to be a tree frog in a 4' long section of 4" pipe.  It was amazing how amplified it was.  I have to admit I was briefly reviewing my life choices until I figured out what it was.   :D
