We love sitting at our dining table and watching all the wildlife in our
back yard. Sigrid keeps the bird feeders full and has an apple
flavored mineral block for the deer.
There are an amazing number of
birds to watch because we have Fleming Park in our back yard and are
only a few hundred yards from Blue Springs Lake. Fleming Park is huge
with over 7,800 acres of area and two large lakes with over 1,700 acres
of water.
Here are a few photos taken over the last two days. I am not
a bird expert so I don't know the names of all the birds but they are
fun to watch. These are just the winter birds in Missouri. In the spring, we will have some additional species to photo.
Of course, we have lots of deer. Beautify animals but they like our shrubs better than the dead grasses this time of year.
A Barred Owl
White Tail Doe
A male Cardinal
Red Bellied Woodpecker
Female Cardinal
A 8 or 9 point buck. They are fairly rare to see and are loners most of the year.
