It’s been an exciting week in wildlife spotting this week in Jersey! I’ve spotted the following just since Monday in my yard/neighbors’ yards:
-Two grown bunnies and two babies (prolly a bunny family?)
-Three woodpeckers (pecking on my oak and at the neighbor’s gutters – boy, was THAT loud!)
-A very small turtle (front garden)
-A very large 4-point deer
-About 34,655 squirrels
-Two raccoons
-Several cardinals and bluejays
-An itty bitty snake
-An opossum
-A bat (this guy has been returning to roost under the porch eaves for the last thee summers – at least I think it’s Rodgrigo Van Battenheim returned again)
-A gigantic turkey vulture (pecking at a deer carcass on the corner)
-A small hippo with velvet fur. Oh, wait, that was my pit bull puppy
How about you? Any interesting sightings of late?
