Birds and turtle eggs

[ribirdnerd]

I'm still seeing continuing Red Bellied and Downy Woodpeckers on my suet feeders.

Over the weekend, I attempted to expand my garden.  Much to my surprise, I turned up several intact turtle eggs in the soil.   So I immediately reburied them and attempted to fence off the area to protect them.   Every year the raccoons seem to get to the eggs so I hope I can save them.  We shall see!

I also saw a female deer in the woods, the first I've seen in a while.  We have several chipmunks around as well as a stray or dumped house cat who seems to come out every morning.
