Here's what I saw this week during a Second Look.
 |
| Scraggly mum |
 |
| This is a very light weight bone fragment. Not sure what that means or where it came from. |
 | |
| Male downy woodpecker |
 |
| As evidenced by the sticks and leaves around this groundhog hole, the groundhog is in hibernation. When it is in an active stage, the hole has fresh dirt around its entrance. |
 |
| I found several tufts of fur like this, but I'm not sure what it's from. (I vote for rabbit.) I looked for more signs of the animal, but didn't find any. |
 |
| The forsythia tried to bloom during a couple of our warm days. However, they didn't last for long. |
 |
| Blue jay feather |
 |
| Squirrel's nest in sweet gum tree |
Your homestead is teeming with wildlife this week. :-)
ReplyDeleteLoving the wildlife, even in winter :)
ReplyDelete--or the evidence of wildlife.
DeleteLove the photos, I went out today and spotted so many signs of nature in confusion from the warm weather. Plants and trees trying to bloom. Our woodchuck's hole is covered over as well. He shares the corner of the Little Cove with us.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw our groundhog's hole filling with leaves, I thought it had moved. It took me a little while to figure out it was hibernating. Now, I look for it every fall. Also, I see you say woodchuck. I guess it is a regional thing. To me, a woodchuck is a formal name for groundhog that I read about in books.
DeleteI always love your second look pictures! They just give a different perspective on things that often go unnoticed! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's one of the reasons I do it. If makes me look at things in a different way.
