We finally caught our pair of red foxes on the cameras. 2 days later I found the male floating in one of the ponds. Think he went after a nest of mocking birds and they attacked him and he fell in. These birds attacked the turkey vultures as well as the female fox.

I had foxes here in 2016. They had a den under my neighbor's shed. Haven't seen any since they moved out that year. It was fantastic to see while it lasted.

Much to my surprise, the Barred Owlets showed up again! I was sure that they might have gone off to discover their own territories but at least one of them is still asking and recieving food from the parents.
The two kids sat and studied everything for 20+ minutes before a parent showed up to whisk them away.
We have sibling hawk "babies." They are absolutely hysterical. They try to attack leaves and are really bad hunters so far! They are so fun to watch, though! I love your owls - very cool! :love:

best thing about owls is they don't make a habit of going fishing.

I love seeing our fox babies, don't catch a view very often, they hang out in the back field.

Often red shoulders are mistaken for young red tail . They are smaller and a bit lively. But either way very cool .

We had a hawk for the last couple years stripping the pond of our frogs but that's ok that why frogs lay 10000 eggs at a time. But now a falcon is hanging around the little bugger is quick. And I only see the hawks fly over head they don't stop by that I have seen in this year. And we got frogs that's for sure

This morning, there was only one baby robin left on the nest, and it was ready to leave.

A couple hours later, the nest is empty.

These kids are big honkers! And so, so, so funny. Every day, they do something ridiculous!

I could make them out before I was just stating your lawn was so nice nothing else was relavent . But definitely cool you got up and personal. Love to watch them play when they are kits it's amazing how high they can jump standing still. But they are extremely clever little buggers. I learned first hand why they say sly like a fox!
