Swimming Deer and more

Frightened this White Tail Deer so that it decided to swim the width of the Sheriff creek Cattail Marsh.





Came across this Adult Black Bear but there was a stream separating us.




Update on Mallard Family


Noticed that mother ducks seem to park the kids in the weeds/bushes and head out for a nbit of peace and quiet. Returning in about 20 minutes or so.

There are 3 Mallards here and 1 duck I cannot identify. Grey top white underneath.  Seems there are many birds my "Bird-Book(s) do not have full listings for. Anyone know what it is?
Wood-Duck family update


The Monarchs have returned. Milkweed plants in full bloom.


Looks the worse for wear. Suspect damaged was done by a bird. Said bird having since learned that Monarchs taste really horrible
