Finally An "Exotic" At The Deer Feeder!

Yep we've been waiting to capture the "exotic" on the game cam!  Lots of patience was recently rewarded.  It looks familiar, yet its species remains a mystery...  What is it?

What we know: it is diurnal, likes corn, and solitary.
Hopefully we will get additional pictures and information in the future.

Rooster's Nemesis

"Who'd a thunk it?"  We had a day time encounter with Rooster's nemesis.  We were going around filling in holes the critters had dug around the foundation and came across "Toadie."  He's the big toad that comes to the doggie door area after dark to eat the bugs attracted by the lights in the house. From the looks of him, he's done quite well by himself!  For reasons I don't understand, Rooster is scared of him.  Even when given the opportunity to get his tennis ball, Rooster decided to not move forward.

I saw no teeth displayed or any signs of aggression from Toadie.  He remained calm and collected! Rooster saw his ball and moved in to get it, saw Toadie, and left the scene.  There are times when I wish I could quell Rooster's enthusiasm.  Toadie has the secret!

Twins?

I knew there were fawns around as I had seen them at various times since spring.  These two were seen by the cameras at the deer feeder recently.  I doubt they are twins...

Always good to see the next generation!
