Sent from my sister in Sussex County DE today. Not MD but pretty cool.

Dropped it right on the lawn?

Likely not. Her property backs up to big woods near the Nanticoke in Bethel DE. I'm sure the mom is close by. She texted me and said it was gone this evening .

A few years back I had a doe leave her twin fawns in the shade under my birch tree for an afternoon. Mom grazed around the whole yard and the babies never tried to follow. I was happy that they felt that safe there.

That's awesome! We have a bunch critters around here. Their stay is usually short. My Jack Russells keep a tight patrol in the yard.

Not great pictures on my phone but a big bear this morning. Caught drinking out of the fish pond and scratching his back. This bear was tagged in the ear.

Portly fellow

No way to get pics, as it was probably several hundred yards off, but got to hear a great "hoot-off" this afternoon.

At least two (maybe three) Barred Owls arguing, and a Great Horned Owl telling them "knock it off, I'm sleeping"...

This Northern Black Widow female had taken up residence in a tarp that I had outside for a few months. There was also the beginnings of a yellowjacket nest in one of the folds that was abandoned. Pretty sure the abandoned nest is related to the BW.

Not my video, but a good one if you don't like yellowjackets.

Just the one hen?

That's it. My neighbor spotted it at her birdfeeder, pecking around the ground. My daughter and I were driving back into the neighborhood a few minutes later and there it was.

My Girl Daisy got another broad head skink. She drags them up in the porch . This on measured 10 inch.
