So far at least one of us has seen the following.
• Cattle Egrets
• Blue Herons
• A Yellow-crowned Night Heron
• Ducks, Geese (even some babies this summer)
• An owl
• Woodpeckers
• Some sort of water snake
• Turtles
• A lizard
• A couple of huge frogs (we're talking 16-18" long with their legs extended)
• Crayfish
• Lots of fish
• Hawks
• An endless supply of creepy crawly things for Park to pick up and torture Carrie with
• A bunch of birds we've never seen before and have yet to identify—even with the aid of the Peterson Field Guide to Birds
Today, we had our biggest visitor yet. We were all sitting in the front room when Carrie looked out the window and let out a screech (the sound, not Dustin Diamond). We all hopped up and saw this moseying through the lawn across the street, munching on a few shrubs along the way.
If it was lost, it didn't seem to mind, because honestly, it didn't appear to have a care in the world. Eventually I even went outside and followed it for a bit as it turned the corner and casually strolled down the street.
It was pretty cool.
Can't wait to see what stops by to say hi next.

SO SO COOL! I have been asking Park if he has had a deer in his backyard YET? He has matter of factly said. "there were no deer at his house". I am so glad, I can call him on this, even though it was NOT in the backyard. I think it is even more fun to have it walking down the street!
Park, Barbie can be right sometime.
