I saw the cherry eating coyote in my backyard again this afternoon. I was surprised to see her out so early in the evening. Usually I have been seeing her either at daybreak or dusk but today she was out there around 5 pm.



I want so much to try to get a closer look at her but I know it's best not to get her acclimated to humans.

I think she is a beautiful creature and I love the fact that I can get this kind of wildlife show in my backyard.

The pictures of the deer didn't turn out too well because it was still mostly dark. There were actually four other deer in a little herd with this one but we didn't get a shot.



Last night we finally got a quick glimpse of the barn owl heading out for his nightly hunt. We also found a huge feather that I think must belong to him.

So far right around our house we have seen: deer, coyote, skunks, squirrel, raccoons, frogs, opossum, owl, quail, doves, hummingbirds and numerous other birds.

Did I mention how much I love living here?
