This is #1 of 3 Dee Dees that landed on the stump one after the other...This one paused just long enough for the camera to focus in on the tasty treat this one has.

Rufous is on the left.

"Trusty rusty" back on the job tonight, & actively working the porch!!

I couldn't believe my eyes when this one flew over & landed right in front of me! Usually they are down by the lake & on the move.
Another first

Check out pic #2 close up of feather!

Ahhh. That's better...My long time mothing buddy is back on the front porch & on the job..."Trusty Rusty"

Mrs.O'Mally-checking out the dinner menu....

How quickly they grow!! Seems like just yesterday they were just warm fuzzy little heads!!

What a beauty!
It kept fluttering its' wings, making it difficult to get a clear photo of the wing markings, which are so pretty

So many turtles swimming and crawling up on dam that it is impossible to make a useful count.

Separate posting for the 3 on the other end of the rock

"Trusty Rusty" in his day time planter pot on the front porch...Just chilling till night fall & the mothing beings!!

There were 6 of them!! Unfortunately I startled them, & they all flew away except for this one...it had its' back to me & didn't see me. :)

Continuing- already counted
Mrs.O'Mally and her 4 young, over for their din din...She moved away because of the muskrat.

Eau De Parfum :)

This fellow fluttered in just as I was about to leave the area, & crash landed right in front of me. What a gorgeous rich brown!!

Well that was entertaining :D

With the 1 and only cicada observed in this neck of the woods!

What a beautiful lady! And one of the larger ones I've seen, she takes up pretty much that entire log!
Nice that she was willing to pose so prettily for me too!

Another first if correct

Some pictures are snapshots from videos.

This apparently very hungry Hen would not be deterred by the human standing on the land near where she forages for treats :)

Oh my it appears they are building a nest inside the squirrel-proof feeder :D

Marie hen leads her 5 ducklings, approximately 6-7 weeks old, to the edge of the lake. They all jump into the water after their mother. (With 1-2 house sparrows , #’s 2-4 and #’s 21-30)

Rocky the raccoon tailed squirrel :)

Aww..this one has antennaes....
(I think I have been out in the sun too long...).

Usually hiding in the pine trees. Wouldn't come out of the shade for a better shot.

Another one in the shade, then retreated back into the conifers.

Base Singer aka "Base Bob 1" Has a leech on his mouth

This lizard was a super model😎 in another life- really wanted to work their angles.😄

Supposedly they like Virginia Thicket, & I have lots of them, so hoping to see more of these.
