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 […]https://destinylaharris.com/2026/08/26/learning-to-look-closer-7-meet-sandy/

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

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.

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

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.♻️

The Ohio DNR has a wonderful series of free PDF field guides and "Backyard Wildlife" materials, covering everything from reptiles, lichens, moths and millipedes to trees, fish, mussels and wildflowers. #backyardnature #backyardwildlife

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 😅

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 🥰

We came back from vacation and there were not nearly as many eggs as there should have been. I put a camera in the coop to find out what was going on. I was thinking it was a snake, somehow turned out to be a skunk!
I guess today is going to be investigating how the skunk gets in. -
More “Momma Satyr” & #BabySquirrel fun.

“Momma Satyr” offspring desperately seeking nip. MS is over it.
Video 3/3
[yes I am a total weirdo. this new squirrel thing I blame on #BabySquirrel #Ramone (yes I mean to spell it that way) & Linus because I love keeping him entertained.)

Welp, we got a cage match going on here too. squirell vs a squirell-proof birdfeeder. one wrong step and that cage is going to come down on feeding station barring access to tempting food supply. Who will win the match?

Look who stopped by for a snack…
North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum)

The beech marten is pretty skittish around the food bowl. I've seen evidence that he's been eating kibble but this is the first time I've actually seen him eat on camera.

If anyone would like a diversion, here is a camera trap picture of a groundhog at my parents' house a few years ago. #BackyardWildlife #Groundhog #Woodchuck #WildlifeCamera #Distractodon

This is Tiny, one of the raccoons that lives near my house. Tiny is most easily recognizable because one of her eyes does not glow in nighttime camera footage. She can also be identified by her ears, which are particularly close-set on the top of her head and have some notches.
I first saw Tiny last summer, when she visited the yard a few times while she was clearly nursing a litter of kits. She was very small, and I was worried about whether she would make it since she seemed underweight.
She has continued to visit the yard periodically. Earlier this year, she showed up in the yard with her tongue sticking out, as if she might have some kind of jaw injury. She was a lot bigger than when I first saw her, though, so she seemed to be eating enough.
She's come by the yard the last two nights for snacks. Last night, I caught her in the crabapple tree eating fruit. She looks fantastic – very big and fluffy for winter!

I think... I think there was just an otter in my yard?!? Is that what this is? I've never seen a wild otter!
(Link is to a short YouTube video of an animal – an otter, I guess! – in a yard, approaching a water bowl, and then loping away. The video was taken with a wildlife camera)

Big day at my parents’ house.
(Media description: Video of three wild turkeys, taken with a wildlife camera. At the start of the video, an adult turkey is poking around by the back door of a house. A second adult turkey, close to the camera, walks across the yard, with a baby turkey close to it. All three turkeys convene near the stairs.)
