Seven years ago I sold my house at the edge of town to the church next door. That house backed up to 80 acres of second growth timber, vines, etc. It was 1/2 mile from my house to the next house behind me. I would set at the breakfast table and watch deer eat our apples. Until the cyotes came along we also had quail. I would see thirty to forty at a time under the apple trees. The possoms ate our cat food, and the ***** kept the garbage cans turned over. It was like living in a zoo.
We also had a wealth of birds of all kinds. The honysuckle vines on the back fence assured us of humming birds.
I miss this part of living there, but I do not miss the increassed traffic on the highway in front of the house. There is now a Sonic just across the highway. I got to hear every siren that left town.
We we are now all we have are rabbits and tree rats. We have a mocking bird, some robins, a pair of doves, and mice with wings (sparrows).
Enjoy your wildlife. That is one of the reasons God put them here on this planet.
Life is Short, Be happy
