On Mother's Day we spotted the first newborn fawn of the season. Before I got the camera set up, the mother and fawn had walked into the fringe of the woods. I took a long distance photo and you can barely make out the deer. We haven't seen them since then.

Check out this curious cat. It's not a stray, it has a collar and we see it often. But we've never seen it climb up a tree looking like it wanted to jump on our roof.

We have a crazy mockingbird around our house. Every so often he sees his reflection in a window and tries to fight the 'other bird' that it thinks it sees.
