#winterwildlife — Public Fediverse posts

I looked out the window, and squirrel friend was giving me the, "I'm hungry! Where's my breakfast!" look, so I rushed outside with some walnuts and hazelnuts. When I came back into the house, crow friend was eating the hazelnuts. So I quickly put together some crow food and brought that outside (corn, peanuts, sunflower seeds, leftover cat food, suet bits). Then I came back into the house and my Blue Jay buddy had beaten everyone to the feast, but now the crow is back with a friend!

#FalmouthME - Indoor/ Outdoor Beginner #Birding at #GilslandFarm

Last occurrence of this session will be on February 21, 2026!

"We’ll spend the first hour of this program watching birds at the feeder from the warmth of our Discovery Center. Then we’ll head out and explore the trails. Our naturalist will answer questions and make identification less overwhelming to new birders. Feel free to come for either or both portions of this program. Binoculars (and instructions) will be provided."

Would you survive one night in his territory?

While walking in Northgate Park, we noticed a huge turtle below the frozen surface of the pond. It was moving very slowly into the sunlight shining through the ice. Based on the long neck and pointy head, I'm guessing it's a Texas Spiny Softshell Turtle (or maybe a Western Spiny Softshell?)

Close encounter

This morning, I spotted a few wild black fallow #deer grazing under a small bank of trees in the forest near my home. Although I was hidden by the cover of the tree line, they could still sense my presence - ears twitching, staring in to the darkness to my location. One gave out a warning bark but had they realised I was human they would have bolted immediately.
