Nursery Web Spider
Funny I found this "nursery web" spider protecting it's babies in the egg sack!
Louisiana Waterthrush
A stream-loving bird that is an indicator of a healthy stream eco-system!
Gray Treefrog
A chameleon-like native tree frog (it changes color!) that is in my top two favorite frog calls that I've heard so far in Virginia.
Spring Peeper
A sweet and beautiful harbinger of spring in.... February (when it's indeed needed!).
American Woodcock
How much walk can a Woodcock walk if a Woodcock could spot worms? WELL, Let me show you the cutest and weirdest bird walk that I've found so far...
White-footed Mouse
I am not afraid of mice. But when I see a mouse? NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE. I can't decide which is worse, how my chickens poop anytime anywhere everywhere, or how a mouse does.
Carolina Wren
Basically this little bird is my BFF around the house all year long.
Song Sparrow
The coloring of this sparrow varies greatly across North America, so learning it's song is also a good way to tell it apart from others.
Fowler’s Toad
You know how they say not to lick toads? Well don't lick this one: it secretes a noxious compound from the warts on its back which can be lethal to small mammals. AND this toad also sometimes plays dead.
Common Yellowthroat
These little warblers like tangled vegetation near marshes or wetlands, which is why I spotted one near a creek amongst all the tangly Witchhazel and Brook Alder.
