    My pictures are bit old, but I enjoy them, and thought maybe you will too.

    Baby Bambi up top. Mama left him near my dogs to babysit him. I got his picture and moved my dogs so mama would come and get him.

    A Bewick's wren nest in the window. That nest is about the size of a demitasse and made of moss. Mama raises all of her babies plus the adults nest in there. I have more wrens, but that window is not available for nesting any more.

    A small leopard frog hiding in some lilies..

    A small yellow bird, but I am not sure what kind.

    This is a large black king snake. I do not like snakes, but if he stays OUT of my hen house, I tolerate them because they kill copperheads. He also robs bird nests. I don't have any way to keep them out of bird nests. :(

    It was such a pleasure to see these animals. Some pics were sorta small, but I could make them out. That looks like a healthy and good-looking snake.

    I don't really like snakes, but this kind kills copperheads that are poisonous, so I don't usually bother them.

    I don't know why some of the photos are so small. Usually pictures get too big.
