The trail cam caught a fox sneaking in for a drink at the trickle that is our stream in the back woods. We think it is neat to see foxes on the trail cam, especially when the chickens are safely tucked away in their Fort Knox.

I am keeping an eye (with the trail cam) on the deer that visit our back yard. After all, we’ve seen does and bucks and spring is coming up, so maybe there will be a fawn?

On foggy warm days it is easier to see the funnel webs of the American grass spider. The saucer sized webs dot our woods and meadows. The internet tells me their webs are not sticky. I tried spinning some garden spider web, but it stuck to my fingers. Maybe I will find an unoccupied bit of grass spider web and try that. But with much caution because the internet also tells me their bites hurt. In the meantime I will just admire their little spooky blankets.

Here is another trail cam photo where the night vision and weather conditions produced an eerie effect.

Here is another picture of a doe and maybe her offspring? A two-year on the right and a yearling on the left? I’m anxiously waiting for spring new borns!
