Almost a year ago today our monitor snapped an image of this cute racoon on their hind legs. We hope that life has been going well for them this year.

Carrots are not the only things that rabbits eat! Check out this picture our wildlife monitor took of a rabbit having a very early breakfast.

Why did the walnut know where the cashew was hiding? Because he was pecan!

Who let the dogs out!?!? WHO? WHO? WHO? Oh wait that is a coyote….

We get lots of really neat photos from our wildlife monitors, but it makes us sad to see trash end up in our waterways. Playing in a creek is a great way to enjoy the fall, but make sure to pick up after yourself at all times.

On October 5th at 12:19pm the creek's water was high with less rocks being seen. Ducks swim in the creek.

It is crazy what one rainfall can do to our waterways!

On October 4th at 12:47pm the creek's water was low with lots of rocks present
