I’m here for the critters. Posting my furry, feathery and other Colorado suburban neighbors. Also friends I meet on my travels. 🦋🐰🐺🦝🦨🐿️
#Raccoon cautiously makes their way through the yard. Wise to be always on the alert. 👀🦝

So much to love about coyotes! ❤️🐺

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR word for 2026.

Let's. Go.

Alfalfa hadn't been around for a week but she came back last night looking a bit worse for wear. Still having trouble with her hind leg and the tail needs grooming.
But she brought a friend this time who I hope will continue looking out for her.

The New Year Coyote enters the yard at midnight. Apparently didn't like what they saw and retreated. Is that an ill omen for #2026?

A Christmas Critter Story:
Twas 2 nights before Christmas when the world's dimmest #coyote came into the yard where the world's luckiest #bunny was grazing. Coyote trotted around the fence to the park. Bunny when sure Coyote was gone, disappeared. Coyote came back and went to McDonalds for dinner.

For whichever holiday you celebrate in this season, my favorite neighbors send their best wishes.

Electric water bowl keeps the water warm, but it evaporates a bit overnight so little #Squirrel-1 has to stretch to reach a morning drink.
Notice #Squirrel-2 in the tree at back left. Are they waiting for their chance at the bowl?

Alfalfa has an injured hind paw, poor dear. But it doesn't stop her coming around for warm water Friday and Saturday night. Then she engages in some odd snuffly digging behaviors before limping off. (Sound up for slurpy drinking noises)
Take care little one!

The Virginia Distillery Co. did issue a response about the drunk raccoon.

I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about the drunk raccoon, but the Virginia Distillery Co. posted this in response, and it's amusing (at least to me)

If you’re running for Congress, maybe talk about passing a bill to refund everyone the difference in their health premiums for 2026 if republicans fail to pass ACA subsidy extensions.

I love to see the interaction between species that show up from time to time. Here #Cat sits and stares at whoever is coming after them. Views from two cameras.

Hey #Skunk fans!
Why is Alfalfa tapping on the ground ?
Behavior I haven't seen before. Closeup follows

It's not wise for #Cat to be wandering around the yard after dark.
Lucky for #cat, it appears #Fox wasn't fast enough to catch a kitty dinner and comes back a few minutes later, does a few yoga poses and heads back the way they came

This little one is glad for a rest and a few sips in my sister’s yard in Phoenix. #lovehummers #skybirds

Wildlife tracking! I'm reposting things I made this past year. If you look closely at the deer tracks you'll see I added the hint that they're double registering (hind foot is stepping into the same spot as front foot).

I think mice are cute as long as they stay out of my house. I wonder if this little guy was after a drink of water. 🐁

I have been recording the critters in our yard for 4 or 5 years. This is only the 3rd mouse that has shown up on the videos.

It's been a few weeks since the raccoons have shown up. But ALFALFA the #Skunk has been coming by every night at least once for a drink of water from the heated bowl.

Are any of you old enough to get the cultural reference?

#Skunk meets #Coyote. Neither wants to get close to the other.

All the #SKunks love the heated water bowl ! 🦨🦨🦨💦
