Bird / squirrel feeder.

I put out a bird / squirrel feeder that I can see from my office desk out the window, or I can remotely watch from my wireless Wi-Fi camera.

I use a mix of sunflower seeds and peanuts. There is one main squirrel and two or three others. And I have seen many different bird species. 

I have seen Blue Jays, Mourning Doves, European Starlings

Northern Cardinals, American Goldfinches, House Finches, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Dark-eyed Junco, Sage Thrasher, Red-headed Woodpeckers, Brown-headed Cowbirds, House Sparrows, Carolina Wrens, Lazuli Bunting, Gray Catbirds, Mockingbirds, Robins and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

I think this squirrel is pregnant. 

Destiny has a new kitten that loves to sit and watch the birds and squirrels.

Birds like feeder in the daytime, and this raccoon at night. 

 

White Oak Lake State Park camping trip.

We stayed in the 'tents only' section of White Oak Lake State Park. For $15 / night, they provide a picnic table, barbecue grill, lamp post, fire pit, water, parking, and a 12 x 12 raised and level tent pad.

Since our tent is 10 x 14, it wouldn't fit on the pad, so we found a nearly level area next to our designated spot to pitch our tent at the trail head of three popular trails.

You can read about our hiking experience here.

There was lots of wildlife to observe, such as Whooping and Sandhill Cranes, squirrels, and ducks.

This is NOT a spider, although it looks like it, and they can be found everywhere in the southern states, especially in areas around pine trees. We call them, 'Daddy-long-legs'.

This is commonly called a, 'stick bug'.
