Out in the woods at my place up north.

Eastern Phoebe was following me around while I was building my fence. In this picture, I was close enough to touch it. When I walked away, it flew to where I was at. This went on for about an hour, and only ended when I called it a day and went back to my house.

Some years we get tree frog tadpoles in our swimming pool cover in spring. I transfer them to a barrel before removing the cover and provide a board for them to climb out as they turn to frogs.

During the summer I spend a lot of time in our woods cleaing up piling branchs to burn in the fall. I Spoted this bear approx 70 or 80' away up this trail. Ignored him and keep working when some time later spotted some out of the corner of my eye and this bear was sitting down about 30' away. As I watched him he scratched and laid down going to sleep. When I left and went for lunch some time later he was still sleeping.

You're lucky they don't see you as a threat.... or tasty.

You missed your chance to go over and pet him.

I'm in the woods and marsh almost every day. Over time animals seem to get used to human presence. I've seen does nursing 50ft away, calmly watching me as I walk on by. Bucks have done the speed crawl nose in the air doe chase thing right past me, knowing full well I was standing in full view. The other day I saw the first albino deer around here in years. I could tell it "wernt from around here", since it showed unusual wild alarm and discontent, and the need to run fast and far. So funny watching it try to run and hide with no camouflage, like a bright light in the night.

A few photos from Moraine State Park, PA a few weeks ago. The blue birds and starlings were loving those berries.
