Neighborhood Friends

So I'm bored and thought I would show off some of the critters that wander into my yard on a regular basis

I heard a "bang" outside and looked out but didn't see anything. Then I noticed the garbage bin was knocked over, it was pouring out and soooo windy so I thought the wind did it, it was 4 in the afternoon, looked out my bedroom window a bit later into the backyard and seen Mama and her babies having some supper.....





Hubby was BBQing one day, and we were talking through the screen door when he was like "HOLY CRAP, go lok out our bedroom window" and here was this bull...again it was raining.




I was cleaning my bedroom one day and just happened to look out the window and seen this precious little baby, my heart broke every time I seen him since his Mama got shot, he was left to fend for himself


This is a bad picture but I didn't take it This fox actualy barked at us because we were standing on the deck....brave little thing


This guy was actually first seen basking on our front deck, LOL he hung around for a few days.


My precious little squirrel who hung around all winter, I used to make him PB sandwiches




And this bear was just too funny, I was laying on the couch with my youngest son watching Mickey Mouse and the dogs kept growling and barking out the window.....so I looked out and seen this beauty. I think he thought I couldn't see him....


I had the wrong settings set on the camera so this pic is crappy but I had just scooped the litter boxes and set them outside on the deck waiting to take them to the garbage bin when Craig looked out and this guy was just about ready to tear into the bags....I ran for the camera and he ran for the trees, this is the only pic I got before he ran off


The boys were skateboarding last Summer on the road when this young cow stepped out...I didn't have time to zoom in, nothing before a car came and scared her away.

I wish we had wild turkeys around here, they're just so cool!

I love the bears and yup, Moose are so awkward

Yah my friends van got a scratch from a bear as well....that sucks

Yah it's awesome....

I have a pet snake so he obviously didn't bother me My snake's tank is right beside my side of the bed so I can watch her all night.

LOL you guys are so funny

I usually take their pics from my bedroom or kitchen window so I'm safe...I do however go outside with them, I like to see how close I can get before they run away

I will

They should be all waking up soon....well the Moose are all out, actually we just lost a Moose last week The coyotes chased her and she fell off a cliff basically, then she paced and paced all night, the rangers came the following morning and they used the skidoos to make a trail so she could get out but she wouldn't, she just continued to pace. The vet came and tranquilized her so they could move her (she was in the ditch on the side of the highway). She was COVERED in ticks and fleas, you could see the ticks crawling on her and she was missing alot of fur on her belly.

The vet gave her a shot to kill the bugs, they moved her but she just never really ever woke up. They suspected she was sick before they moved her, she was a young cow, there was no reason for her to pace and she should have charged the rangers when they got too close....also she should have been awake within 20 mins after they put her under. She woke up, moved to the top of a hill and went back to sleep Poor thing.

It's a cell phone pic my friend took but here she is


I wish she would have made it, it's so heartbreaking

You're absolutely right....it breaks my heart when I hear about how many didn't survive over the Winter mths. There are so many Moose hit here by vehicles, alot of people hate them but the thing is they don't realize that it's US whose pushed these animals out onto the roads, etc.

Wild animals sure don't have any easy life, that's for sure. We've never had coyote problems until the last 2 years, people are shooting them left, right and center since they're killing off so much. My friend that took the pic of that Moose has 4 horses, well a couple of weeks ago a coyote was in her fields, ALL DAY with her horses. He didn't hurt them and the horses didn't get spooked or anything, finally the coyote stole a halter out of the barn and took off
