Wildlife at the Watering Hole....

August, already.

I'm joining Tina over at 

My Gardener Says...

for 

Wildlife Wednesday.

My contribution this month, 

is short and sweet.

It's getting hot. 

That's normal, for this time of year in Texas.

So, our different 'watering holes' here,

are getting a lot of customers.

We fill a galvanized tub with water, for the different creatures.

The most often customers are the deer.

But, a birdbath comes in handy, on a hot, humid afternoon.

Birds actually come to the birdbaths, too.

We have three birdbaths, and a fountain that the birds really like.

It's just too hot to sit out there to get a shot.

This big guy shows up at the tub, too.

It's almost time to 'cage' some plants.

These guys like to rub that velvet off their antlers.

It really can mess up an agave or yucca.

Be sure to visit Tina, for more 

Wildlife Wednesday.

Happy Gardening...

Wildlife Wednesday....July 2014...

Tina over at  My Gardener Says...

has started a new meme.

She's hosting 

Wildlife Wednesday, 

the first Wednesday of each month.

We have a lot of wildlife here.

From tiny bugs, to large four-legged critters.

There is always an abundance of wildlife.

We're never without the ever present deer.

Among the other four-legged creatures....

This little possum was in the cat's bed, on the porch.

And, the battle with the squirrels continues.

As it does with the raccoons.  Sorry, no photos of them or the armadillos.

There are lots of birds....

Cardinals, and Titmouse (is more than one Titmouse, Titmice?)

and lots of Sparrows....and, more.

A Green Heron, thinking he's hiding.

And this month, we've seen more of the Egytian Geese around.

I think maybe they've decided this might be a good place to live.

And the very efficient clean-up guys...

Black and Turkey Vultures. 

And, this guy wasn't in our garden.

But, we've seen them around here.

This one was in Lake Texana, east of Victoria.

Our daughter and family are camping there, 

and we went down to spend the day.

We didn't see any of the alligators.

But, that's ok. 

 At least we don't have alligators here.

I'll have more to show you next month.

Be sure to visit Tina, and see what others have to show.

What kind of wildlife do you have in your garden?

'Til later...

Take care..
