If you were inspired by my new necklace holder, be careful on the next hunt for yours...

Bird Eggs
We have a ton of birds on our property and now we are about to have 6 more. 
In the fern on the far right were these 5 little guys...
About a week ago, I checked on them just a few days after discovering the eggs and was so surprised to see they had already hatched!
There are now these fuzzy four little guys. There were five, but sadly one had fallen out of the nest.
In the far left fern there are these two little guys. I haven't checked on them recently but I started to last night and the mama bird was sitting pretty on them so I didn't disturb. It's so fun to have National Geographic happening on my front porch. :)

Wildlife Cam
We have tracks. Big tracks. The kind of tracks you don't really feel comfortable with when their right outside your kitchen window. Dog? Cat? Wildcat? Coyote? (Cue the Jaws music).
Now, mind you, I don't have mammoth hands or anything (I'm 5'2), but these are from no ordinary tabby cat. We have had a couple spotting's late at night, both Adam and I at separate times and we both witnessed a cat-like animal that ran away quickly but was stockier than a normal cat and low to the ground. It also did not have any distinguishable features like a raccoon would. Adam's grandparents were in town and picked us up a wildlife camera to mount and take pictures when it detects motion. All we have to do is plug in the USB card in the morning to see what it's discovered! Thanks guys!
We've heard there are hairy beasts around these parts...This one seems harmless.
This little guy can't be the match to our prints, but he did eat our little goodies we left out for the loch ness monster. PB&J and ham if you must know.
Not a match either...still on the lookout...we'll let you know.

Critters
Some friends have decided to move in before we've even had a chance to. Here are the critters that have taken residence on our front porch we've discovered this past weekend.
Birds nest. Been there for a while. No birds, just bird poop.
Wasp nest in the corner
It only took about 20 minutes for my father-in-law to show up with wasp spray and take care of them. RIP, wasps.
This last "little" guy is in the top left corner of the glass door. Looks kind of like a crack in the glass? Need a close-up?
How about now? YUCK! Any arachnid specialists out there know what kind of spider this is? If you do, let me know!
