  3. Learning to Look Closer #7: Meet Sandy

    I think I accidentally made a squirrel friend. Her name is Sandy. Did she tell me that? No. Did I ask? Also no. She’s Sandy now. 😂 It started with me feeding her once. Then I fed her again. And again. And again. So at this point, I’m not entirely sure whether I’m observing nature or if I’ve accidentally entered into some kind of snack-based agreement with a squirrel. Either way, she keeps coming back. And I’ve started noticing little things. How cautiously she […]

  6. Here's something a little different - the two-spotted tree cricket (Neoxabea bipunctata). The two "spots" on the forewings identify females; the males are spotless. They're native to North America; this one probably visited our front door from the deciduous woods nearby. #backyardwildlife #backyardnature #entomology

  7. Three Good Things

    🌹 A romantic date last night. He brought long-stem red roses!

    🌹 Summer semester grades have been officially posted. Term GPA: 4.0!

    🌹 After exploring our small neighborhood, Wee Bunz has returned to my backyard as his or her familiar thumping ground. Like his or her older sibling, Cottontail, Wee Bunz has taken an interest in my comings and goings, but as always, I stay a safe distance for both of us.

    Just a reminder: I do not feed, attempt to handle, or even approach any of the three generations of wild bunnies who have made my yard and my nextdoor neighbor's woodpile their home. They are free to safely live their wild lives here. All I do is document.

  8. This tiny #backyardnature visitor is the peach tree weevil (Pseudoedophrys hilleri). They feed on the foliage of rosaceous plants (e.g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, roses, rowans, etc.) Native to Japan, it is an adventive species in the eastern US. #entomology #backyardwildlife #weevilwednesday

  9. The gray catbird now comes to the littlebirds’ peanut basket to grab a nut! 🥜🐦🧡

    The basket is made of recycled plastic produce bags from supermarkets.♻️

  11. This guy casually rocked up and started munching, two feet away from where I'm sitting. At this rate he'll be on my lap begging for scritches by next week 🤣

    He runs off when I make big or sudden moves but he also comes back within a minute or so. Lil weirdo 😅

  12. When Linus & I returned from a walk, we found this lovely doe eating the wildlife feed I scatter in the grass.

    (Linus only uses the buggy after walking & getting tired.)

    She was there for about 30 minutes 🥰
