We’ve had a few visitors lately that we rarely ever see, much less capture on camera. First off…
These 2 “rascals” were wondering down our street when Daniel and the kids returned home from Taekwondo one night. When we went back to snap a few pics, we found them in a neighbor’s yard. We stayed for a bit to watch them play and the kids really enjoyed it!
This poor hawk was on the curb as I went to get the mail, and I thought it was odd that it didn’t move. When I ran back to get the kids, they were actually able to pet it before it took it’s last flight, landed in a neighbors’ yard, and passed away. Animal control said it was most likely .new castle disease. Natalie did a little research and determined this was a baby female sharp shin hawk
Last, but not least, this is a bobcat in our backyard! Long story short, we lost 6 out of 12 chickens, and then sent the others to live with another family. After 7 years of raising chickens, we now have a quiet (albeit a bit too quiet) back yard. I miss looking out the window and watching our girls waddle about as well as all the fresh eggs, but I do not miss the early morning cries when the bobcat decides to visit and terrorize our yard!
