More Creatures

Our list of sightings is growing on a weekly basis.   Earlier this week both Jacques and Jonathan spotted what they thought was a coyote. (I'm hoping it's just one!) 

This guy was out just before the dramatic rains the other day - we had hail but were grateful that the tornadoes did not make it this far east. 

In addition to the turtle, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, beaver, deer, snake, and swarms of various insects, we can now add, unfortunately, mice.  Three so far, all  small and rather cute, but, unfortunately, inside.  Even worse, it's not clear where they're coming from but there is a reasonable chance that they may be dropping from the ceiling which remains open (so electricians and plumbers can easily access the space).  Yech.

On a more entertaining level, we can also add frog - while we've been enjoying hearing them in the evenings, Mairead recently had a closer encounter with one on the beach.
