Bayard Cutting Wildlife

Every year, an Osprey nests on the chimney at the mansion. I love the chickens at the small farm there.

    All good; the two chickens and the daddy longlegs particularly clever closeups

    Great to see a Pearl Crescent, so few butterflies this year. I have not seen a Pearl Crescent. Glad you saw a Silver-spotted Skipper. I saw 2 Broad-winged Skippers yesterday at Jam. Bay. Great picture of the Osprey and Chicken. Do they have domestic chickens?

      It is disastrous how few insects there are now. There is a small farm there. You can buy eggs on certain days.
