NEIGHBORHOOD CRITTERS!
Black Bears - they show up for 2 months every summer during the fruit tree &
berry season.
This is a young male. Last year we had a small orphan cub around for
several months, and every year there is at least one "Momma Bear" with cubs..
And no - they aren't anything to be scared of - as long as you don't go piling
trash or food by the cabin. You Don't Feed The Bears and the bears won't
bother you!!!!
The bottom 2 photos show a large "Herd?" of Turkey that takes
up occasional residence on the side & neighboring lots. One day I
counted 32 ENORMOUS turkey!
We put out Hummingbird feeders each spring, and literally have dozens of
Hummers stay with us until the Fall. I've counted as many as 6 Hummers
feeding at the same time off of one feeder right outside the living room
window. The list of other mountain critters goes on and on. I am
especially fond of the Bluebirds however! |
