Walking past the farm pond. Although these days, we're filling it with water for the wild ones. It keeps them away from my house and my pets!
Since there has been a lot of new housing development (before the market died), a lot of birds and other animals had to find new places to live. We have red winged blackbirds, and sometimes we get migrating ducks. We get way too many egrets and an occasional Heron. Hawks, live here too. This year we found a pair of burrowing owls in our near vicinity. More on another thread about that.
We have a lot of coyotes, fox, and I've seen a cougar here on a couple of occasions. We have 'possums, and raccoons, pack rats, and all kinds of other beasties.
We've tried to intrude as little as possible and increase the habitat.
Those are tule reeds and wild tobacco brush. The water is hard to see from this side of the creek. That's to protect the wild ones from the two footeds.
LOL!
