Local wildlife

Here's one of the big benefits of living "out in the sticks". How often does one see this in urbanised areas?

These yearlings were in my backyard a few days ago, raiding the bird-feeder, as they were trying to fatten up before denning for the winter. They were quite literally about ten feet away from my kitchen door where the picture was taken from (at my normal eye-angle; I should have shot from a lower one).

Massachusetts (USA) can be a pretty wild place to live in!

Great to see and no doubt experience.

I'd seen photographic evidence of a bear here before, but seeing these two up so close was just magical.

Carl, Great photo and a little fortunate you had a camera to hand.

Here in deepest primeval Ireland, apart from the odd deer, about the best we can manage to capture are foxes and the like. These two frolicking cubs were seen on the lawn behind our Practice. To encourage butterflies & bees we didn't mow for a time and the wild flowers took over.
