Post your yard and pond visitors

@Kathryn my son loves dragonflies and he's really good at getting them on his fingertip. We have a ton also, love watching them.

That's fantastic!!! I wonder if I could entice them to sit on my finger-that would be amazing!

American Goldfinch

Snowberry Clearwing

American Lady. I've only seen two of these in my yard, ever. I usually see their relative, the Painted Lady.

That is the most beautiful butterfly I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing!

Found a bunch of these little green guys in my lily stock tank. Guessing tree frogs. The lily leaves are getting chewed up by these furry cute caterpillars!

So tiny and cute! I know the tree frogs lay eggs in the pond, but I never see the tiny ones leave. They are loud!

Walked out to the native garden this morning and noticed a skunk under my neighbor's tree gnawing on a carcass of what I think is a chipmunk.

Oh, and I took some video of it, too!

Cute little stinkpot and I didn't know they ate other critters. Thought they just ate bugs and vegetation. I read they eat fish too,yikes!

Amen to the camera by your side as i had mine today but i still missed. a great shot of a coopers hawk that came flying in to the pond area and got trapped by the netting . very cool very close as he hovered for a few seconds not knowing what way to go. i was in awe watching him by the time i grabbed the camera he was up in a tree. none the less a sight to watch so close. My question is was it just flying through ? did it see a mouse or a chip monk , or was a frog on his mind or possibly a koi ? hmmmmmm

I run the hawks out. I don’t like them. I threw a shoe at one at my bird bath one day. Lol

While the coppers hawk got past me we also had these moments

Our coopers go after the frogs, they totally ignore the fish. We have a bunch that hang out around here.

Birds and rabbits seem to be our Hawks dining pleasure. I find their leftovers here and there, now and again.

Sad to see but it natures way to balance the amount of babies born.
