I'll have a ball, but The trick will be to actually get pictures instead of just sitting there staring at them!

This whole endeavor will be long term. I have a lot of pre work to do, but if it works like I want, I will have masses of butterflies and more birds than I can capture on film.

Then there all my trips down to Noxubee Wildlife Refuge about 10 miles south of me. Those trips are always rewarding. I'm working on a couple of the Rangers to help me "spread the seeds"! and I should, in time, be able to expand my wildflowers and, thereby, my wildlife inhabitants. I already enjoy visits from some Piliated Woodpeckers, Red Cockaded Woodpeckers and many other delightful creatures. We have several meadows and lots of wooded areas of mixed hardwood and pine. We never cut dead trees unless they are a danger to a building or power line. These dead trees are a major source of food for the woodpeckers and other birds as well. It would really be a "feather in my cap" if one of the pairs of eagles ever moves up here, but I don't really hold my breath for that day - just a dream of mine.

The trick will be to make sure they keep their alligators down there!!!!

I do so enjoy the wildlife - even the leopard (frogs that is!)
