White-tailed deer (young buck) visiting my backyard NWF wildlife habitat.

I hadn’t seen a deer in my yard in the thirty-plus years that I’ve lived here. Part of my yard is wetlands with a small creeklet running through it and at times some small ponds form after heavy summer thunderstorms. This deer has been spotted around the neighborhood over the past two months – he has a severe injury to his right rear leg and for the most part, he can’t use it. Having said that, he looked healthy and responded to my presence. He doesn’t appear to be sick. There are coyotes in the area so I’m hoping he can stay ahead of the various predators and rut as this is the time of year for that in my part of Florida.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! – Chris

More turtle pics!

Camera – Fujifilm FinePix S9900W (both pics)

My “front yard turtle” is back at it again – aimlessly digging in dry cypress mulch with her back legs. I hope she’s not ill as it appears to be odd behavior when my back yard is a wetlands. Her shell is also rather odd (see below). This gal appears healthy except for the odd shell. She moves quickly and doesn’t appear sick or have an injury.

I don’t believe I’ve seen this type of turtle with a flaking shell. Camera – Samsung Galaxy S8+

Here’s a recent post about a virus that is killing some of Florida’s freshwater turtles – https://myfwc.com/news/all-news/turtle-disease-220/

Nature’s Battles

April 15, 2020April 15, 2020Chris and Carol 4 Comments

Last week we celebrated the arrival of some chicks in our wren house. This week a totally different scene. Nature’s battles.

I see you. Wren in the house.

Tending the nest.

Not what you want to see coming out of your birdhouse.

Yellow rat snake plays its part in the circle of life. Maybe a hawk will find the snake.

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris
