We have quite a little ecosystem here in our yard.  As you can see we live in a neighborhood–there are houses fairly closely–no fences and we enjoy a quiet life here.  But with my love of all things animals we have developed quite a little ecosystem and I wanted to share just a few visitors that have come to our yard.

First of all –the picture below is of our deck.  I moved a bird feeder up close to the house so that at least one feeder would not be ravaged by the deer.  As you can see from the tracks—that did not happen.

Another nice indicator of our guests……

And then….one night…..this is what we saw up close and personal!

We have a herd of 9 that come through.  I have not seen the buck since the fall but he was a beauty if you remember me posting his picture before.

Then we can not forget Phil and Philena Pheasant—very well fed from under my feeders and very plump!

Of course I have bunnies, squirrels  and birds galore—it is one of the fun things to see who is in the yard each day.

They tell me that spring is coming and with spring will come new animals and new creatures to the yard.  If I am quick enough with my camera I might just be able to capture a few of those visitors.  And you can be sure I will share with you.
