Swans Cygnets and Geese Oh My!

There’s something so calming about watching birds on the water! Lots of activity on the creek when I popped into Lyndonville, NY to check out Mr. Swans foot again to try and see if it was hurt or had something wrapped around its foot or if it was just doing what Swans do! Perhaps it is just trying to stand out from the crowd!

Time to find a little peace and serenity, relax and watch this video 🙂

Feelings

I am not here, I am not there, I am not anywhere.
Tired of trying, tired of crying, tired of hiding.
Trying to cope on my own, trying to find my way home.
I give up, I give in, my head is in a spin.
Breathe in, Breath out, scream and shout.
No one hears your cries of pain, stuff it down inside again.
Put on your happy face smile…you’d think they would know it’s fake after awhile, but that would take someone to notice, someone to care, someone to see you’re even there.
You’ll be forgotten before you’re ever remembered.
My heart aches, my soul wants to escape.

Wrestling Wraskles! The Adventures of Four Baby Foxes

These cuties are always wrestling with each other! There is one that seems to play and then will go to check on what it’s momma is doing and then runs back and plays some more!

April 19th Foxy Lady and Her Babies

I was excited when I noticed a fox at the top of the hill and at first I thought it was playing with a woodchuck!

Then I realized, they were baby foxes just charcoal colored! What got me extremely excited was when I realized she had dug out a den right there, where I can sit at my computer looking out the window and watch them! Granted it’s a far reach even for my camera, but I’m going to try a longer lens tomorrow for hopefully clearer photos.

Wildlife Contractions: Pregnant Doe

I had something exciting happen! I had noticed a deer standing a little funny at the top of the hill and grabbed my camera and it turns out to be a pregnant Doe. Everything in her body language is a little different and that’s really what drew my attention. I do believe she is having contractions! She stood in that one spot for at least 10 minutes. She’s chewing something much faster than they normally do and yet I never actually saw her pick anything up off the ground or trees. When she stops chewing super fast, is when the contraction happens and if you watch her belly where it curves in front of her hip, you can see it move. The other weird thing is whatever she’s chewing looks like a big wad of something as her cheeks seem to bulge with it, but you can see her swallow, have the contraction and it appears to be regurgitating as the big wad is back in her mouth. She even drools after one contraction. I was so excited, I kept wondering if the fawn was going to pop out and I was going to have the luck of catching it all on video!!!!!! But I didn’t ;-(
The UPS Truck drove up the driveway and she ran off into the woods.
Here’s a video, forgive any movement on my part, I was full zoom and handheld because I was afraid I would miss the big moment if it happened while setting up the tripod.

Late February gave us an old fashioned snowstorm

While late February gave us an old fashioned winter storm that resulted in this:

Heavy snowfall

The picnic table is almost buried!

It also seemed to bring in the birds who happily gobbled up the sunflower seeds!
