Here's a sampling of the wild creatures I've encountered over the last few Years, Did you ever hear the story of the giant woodpecker that cut down a forty foot maple tree, Unfortunately I never got a good picture of it, but many people did witness the 12 inch by 10 inch hole it chewed clean through the maple tree. Then Several Years ago I encountered a Moose near Kirkland, nobody believed me until several days later is was captured in D.D.O. and appeared on the news. Since then I try and take pictures of all the wild Animals I encounter along the way including the Deer, Rabbits, Fox, Ducks and the Goose and Swan that frequent the area . |

Every Year the Rabbits hang out around the house eating anything that grows | ||
| The Ducks and other assorted flying creatures | |||
|
|
|||
| Well it's Kevin's place that has the foul infestation with dozens of these hanging out in his back yard this picture was taken Christmas eve '06 at the creek in Beaconsfield | |||
|
|
|
||
| Remember that giant woodpecker story, well this wasn't it, but by the time he's done kevin might be short a few trees. | |||
|
And every year for the past four, there is this all white single snow goose that hangs around the park at the bottom of Morgan, and leaves with the Canada Geese |
And then there are the Canada Geese that hang out for a few months each fall, Feeding in the day at the College and hanging out across the street at night , This year hundreds of them stayed well past new years. | ||
|
|
|||
| And then there are the creatures that are determined to out smart you. These include the Squirrels and the Chipmunks, the Frogs and the Raccoons. Between the Squirrels wanting to live in the house, the Frogs taking over the pool as their private pond, to the Racoon who thinks the pool is its Private washing bowl. Welcome to my Zoo! |
