Faunascrolling--what's visiting where you are?

Until yesterday I had never seen Bighorn Sheep in New Mexico. We saw this group of females and young wandering on the edge of the gorge at the Rio Grande Gorge bridge just north of Taos.

I’ve only seen the grown bunnies in my yard, no babies. But those bunnies came from SOMEWHERE!

Oh I regularly see the adult...

I could see this in my yard.

Mik

Having coffee on the deck. There was a squirrel digging in a mole hill. He dug himself like a foxhole. Never saw them do that before.

Baby Mr. Bunn camouflaged himself in a pile of leaves near where he toppled yesterday and stayed there for hours. Not there today.

I figured out this morning when I saw the whole plant wilted that a damn chipmunk chewed off the stem of a cucumber plant an inch above ground. Goner. Grrrr....

Mik

Just saw an 8 point buck go by my office window.

rustyfingers

Chipmunk ate every single tomato. Thecomputerdude is furious. ️

I blamed the chipmunk but a squirrel was actually the perpetrator. My neighbor saw him yesterday afternoon around dinner time in the bed where the two burpless cuke plants are.

I have to download videos and/or photos from my Birdfy cam....lots of birds coming to bathe in the wtg yard!!

Hopefully I'll post them later tonight....

We usually have a lot of titmice. Not sure where they’ve been lately.

rustyfingers

@wtg is there a fountain? How do you keep mosquitoes away?

wtg

@rustyfingers I change the water twice a day.

Mik

We got our first ever Brown Thrasher this morning.

I had to go out to close the shed door which I'd left open this afternoon and, more importantly, fetch the bottle of wine that I left in the car from shopping yesterday. Flipped on the lights for the deck and there were three raccoons cautiously edging their way towards the bird feeding area. Aw. I interrupted their supper. I made sure to shut the lights as soon as I got back in so they can have a nosh.
