North Carolina Wilds
(what’s in our 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. It's a Southern Flying Squirrel!  Ruby-throated hummingbird. See the glint in her eye?  Red-headed woodpecker.  Pileated woodpeckers spotted May 2009!  This beautiful, red-bellied woodpecker died from impacting on a window. We buried her – very sad.  Dove pair at dusk.  It has wings – probably a wasp or hornet.  Guess what’s been eating Leon’s grape leaves?  A skink on the deck.  A 'green anole' lizard.  Ahem. A raccoon doing what raccoons do.
