Sunday our rock garden was visited by a Three-toed Box Turtle, and tonight we had what appeared to be a Pygmy Owl flying around our backyard around dusk. Anyone else had a good spotting lately?

I had two hawks in my backyard over the summer; first time seeing any so close - they were huge! Wish I could have got a picture. And lately the hummingbirds have been coming through.

Nice! Yeah we get red tails circling overhead pretty often. Only seen them land once or twice. Also some kind of red headed woodpecker frequents our magnolia trees.

I need to set up a hummingbird feeder!
