But...She's funny!
OH! She's a riot


I have always wanted a bat box. Kellie I sure hope you feel better
ugh- DH finally took ours down after the darn woodpecker started peckin' the heck out of it!
We never had any bats go in it- it has to be facing in a certain direction- blah blah......
Madd-love the critter pictures. We get tons of stuff in our yard but I never think to take a photo.Unfortunately, we now have a dead deer down next to our barn. Someone must have hit it last week and the grass was so tall we didn't notice it until way, way too late.
It's nowhere near the house, but in order to get the mail I have to hold my breath and run across the road as quickly as possible.
We already have hummingbirds this year.
We have two feeders on the porch kind of close together. Last year we had times when we would have 15-20 at a time!!!!
I don't know how to attract them better but we are doing something right. Oh, some of you might not find this exciting, but we also have bats nesting right outside mine and DH's bedroom window. We have a log home but the upstairs is done in hemlock siding and they just "hang" out in there.
The down side is that we have bat guano all over the roof outside our window.

OH NO- can you call the Twp about your deer??? Won't they come and pick it up since it was hit by a car??
When I used to work in our office- I was in charge of calling the Twp to pick up roadkill


One time I almost got into an argument with the woman at the Twp who answered the phones- there was this horrible looking road kill on my way to work- I know it had to be a deer, but it was so badly mangled and so huge it looked like it could have been a bear that was hit by a Mack Truck! She didn't want to believe me- I said- WHATEVER IT IS- GET IT OFF THE ROAD! (The school buses would ride passed it and I can only imagine the horror on their faces seeing this thing

15-20 hummingbirds that is awesome! So you do not do anything, they just come right to your flowers?! That is great!
Can you hear the bats outside of your window?? When DH and Lived in our condo- we had a freakin' woodpecker that would come and peck at the side of our place- right outside of our bedroom window! I don't know why- but it seemed to pick the weekends to do his pecking
