Critters in our NC yard
 A hognose snake – upturned snout and head flattened like a cobra. Read more about them here.  No you can’t come in. This is a black racer or rat snake. Read more about them here.  Crab spider – see the “face” on it’s back?  Southern House Spider. Read more about them here.  THIS was pouncing around our bathroom after midnight, November 2009. We didn't even know they existed on this continent! It's a Southern Flying Squirrel!  Tiny, cute and fast – Southern Flying Squirrel.  Ruby-throated hummingbird – just chillin.  Ruby-throated hummingbird at a feeder.  Red-headed woodpecker.  Pileated woodpeckers spotted May 2009!  We suspect this is a red-tailed hawk.  This beautiful, red-bellied woodpecker died from impacting on a window. We buried her – very sad.  Doves in late day sunshine.  It has wings – probably a wasp or hornet.  Guess what’s been eating Leon’s grape leaves?  A skink on the deck.  Probably a 'green anole' lizard.  A 'green anole' lizard in a pot of cucumbers.  A raccoon doing what raccoons do.
