Animals seen at our new House to date

Birds:

1. Chickadee
2. Northern Cardinal (male and female)
3. Blue Jay
4. American Robin (male and female – one sitting on her nest in our carport)
5. Hummingbird (probably the Ruby-throated hummingbird, not because I identified it as such, but because my books tells me it’s the only one that visits Mass. in summer, and it was green)
6. Yellow-throated Vireo (in the photo), or might this be the Yellow Warbler?
7. Pileated Woodpecker (it’s big!)

… And many others I won’t even attempt to identify. I was especially thrilled to see the hummingbird. I wasn’t sure they hung out in our neighborhood.

Other animals:

1. Raccoon
2. Fox
3. Squirrels and chipmunks
4. Lots of dogs of all sorts
5. Insects of all kind

There are also supposed to be wild turkeys, deer and rabbits and – while we’re on the topic of veggie-eating varmints – woodchucks.
