We saw 2 bald eagles, 4 deer and a flock of trumpeter swans this morning. What an amazing place to live!

Critter Watch

It wasn't wild, but I saw a one-horse open sleigh dashing through the snow on the road in front of my house yesterday!

Critter Watch

This morning, Jim and I saw two bald eagles high in the air above our house. They soared in slow circles for a few minutes and then dropped lower over a nearby lake until they were out of sight. How cool!

The deer are really restless this morning! I've seen two trotting down the road in front of the house and two more wandering around in the horse pasture. They look alert and nervous.

Critter Watch

My bees came out of their nest when it was so cold last week! I found many bees dead on my front porch and many more just very sluggish. Are they moving out for the winter? I hope so!

Critter Watch

We saw a bald eagle this morning! It was soaring way high, up above the trees. We saw eagles a lot this summer, but haven't for over a month.

Critter Watch

I have a nest of bees (or are they yellowjackets?) living in my front porch. I checked with the extension service and they should move out when it gets cold and then we can seal up the hole. Let's hope it works! People are afraid to come to my front door!
