We've had lots of animal visitors since moving here... we have big and little rabbits (cottontail and jackrabbit maybe) the Turkeys have been seen eating out of the birdfeeder more than once, the Redtail Hawks, and other large predators soar over us regularly, the Rattlesnakes are well scary and are being attracted by the rats and mice and Ripley found a mommy Skunk and her four babies last weekend. Today she found a little fledgling Goldfinch. He's about the size of our hummingbirds and has been patiently sitting watching us this afternoon. I am much happier about these finds than the snakes and skunks, who will hopefully stay away from him! Needless to say we need to get a good book about our new creatures so I know their names!
