There are always deer around. Sometimes they munch on my shrubbery.

Squirrels are a nemesis to bird feeders; a not very "squirrel-proof" feeder as advertised above, so I had to design my own

One year a squirrel mother decided to bear her young in my attic. I had to coax them to walk down a branch I'd placed at the hatch, one–by–one, until the entire family was outside. In the above photo there is a baby squirrel contemplating exiting. Then I had the roof fascia and soffit repaired to prevent a repeat occurrence!

Chipmunks like to eat their breakfast on my patio. They leave a mess of shells, too!

The groundhogs don't show themselves too often

---

Rabbit

---

Rarely seen possums

---

Red foxes are always going somewhere, except the mother tending her cubs

---

Box Turtle

Butterflies like the sweets put out for hummingbirds and orioles

Snake

The bat likes to nestle above the speakers underneath the patio roof (not all visitors are welcome!)

I found this beautiful spider web attached to the post feeder!
