This is the time of year that we encounter many water creatures, including geese, frogs and turtles. People love wildlife!

The Says Phoebe is a flycatcher, related to the more well-known Kingbird. They will nest on houses and the like. This year a nest was put on the underside of one of our storage trailers, and 5 nestlings were fledged. Here they are, sitting on our fence.
