Our resident Squirrel is at it again! Nest building season.
The deck is littered with her clippings.
Even the chairs have to be brushed off before we can sit.
Her success rate is low. Chewed sprouts are promptly dropped to the ground or deck below and she makes no effort to retrieve the lost clippings. At this rate I wonder how she will ever complete her nest.
Time out to check the watering can. We keep bowls of water for wildlife throughout the garden so no need to dip into the can.
And then back to clipping oak sprouts.
The view from the golf course includes multiple birds and turtles. Egrets, Cormorants, whistling ducks, Egyptian Geese? Egyptian Geese are "introduced" in North America. Primarily found in Florida, Texas, and California. More study is needed here.
Whitetail deer mating season is finished and this big guy is on his own as new fawns will arrive soon. He will naturally shed his antlers soon.
He has been injured in the flank. Possibly in a fight with another buck. Looks like it's not deep and will heal.
