furry flippery visitors?

Monday, May 10, 2010

The other day i noticed two mallards under our pear tree, a bunny by the fence and a squirrel all in our yard at the same time. what visitors do you get in your yard/home green area and do you do anything to either fend them off or attract them?

We have squirrels & bunnies. We think they're cute, and the neighbor lady feeds them, so they're always hanging around.

We *constantly* have squirrels and cardinals and blue jays and other birds.  We had a hawk nesting in one of the taller trees behind our house a few years back.  Makes a very distinct sound.  Amazing.  We also have a resident groundhog that I see wobbling around occasionally - drives our dog, Abby, nuts!  We've even had a DEER visit our yard before, which is just amazing because we live IN TOWN, like a few blocks from downtown (not that that's big, but still).  It was so cool.  Abby was barking, and we came out to investigate, and it was just standing there.  We have a slightly woody area behind our house, and there
are a few here and there within a few blocks, but I have no idea where this thing came from.  But, that kind of describes our new hometown.  It's nature at its very essence.  You can go to the edges of the mall parking lot and see deer grazing just a few yards from the pavement.  Really, really cool.

  In our current garden we get squirrels and TONS of bunnies.  They like to eat my hostas.  But I don't do anything to detract them.
