Charlize T'Heron has been hanging around the house and yard all day. Never seen a Heron that would let people approach so closely. As long as you don't get closer than about 20 feet, it doesn't seem to care.

Coworker had one in her yard last weekend. Same behavior. I had never seen it, either.

I've never seen 2 in the same pond. Maybe they prefer humans to other herons.

Beautiful pics.
What is that interesting red thing in your second pic?

This? I honestly don’t know, just thought they were pretty.

After a little digging I found this. https://uswildflowers.com/detail.php?SName=Euonymus+americanus

The beauty berries are showing off. My favorite color, I think.

My friend showed up today.

But it didn't stay long enough to visit.

Did you hear him or see him first?

That big old King Snake was shaking it's tail but nothing I could hear. Sometimes if their tail is in leaves they can make a sound and make me jump.

Anyway I'll bet it heard me because I'm gonna make noise when I see one no matter the species.

Can snakes hear?: Snakes have fully formed inner ear structures but no eardrum. Instead, their inner ear is connected directly to their jawbone, which rests on the ground as they slither

I thought King snakes were relatively harmless to humans? No?

Spent some time scouting yesterday evening for our upcoming deer hunt in Nov. Any thoughts as to this button buck? Light was failing me so not a great picture. Just seems like a odd color and shape for what I am used to when I see "button bucks".

Yes, absolutely harmless and we are friends, but they still make me jump. Our other numerous harmless snake it a Rat Snake that we refer to as a Chicken Snake. I seldom see a Garter or Hognose snake.

Our common poisonous snakes are Timber Rattlesnake, Copperhead, & Cottonmouth. They are not my friends.

Funny we are talking about snakes. . . I just came back from the mailbox and passed this fella on the way


That's about all we see here, garter snakes. When we were building and a lot of the surrounding woods / hilly areas were disturbed we saw a couple of good sized copperheads but it's been 30 years since the last sighting.
