What Does The Fox Say?

in #ecotrain6 years ago

The Homestead is growing slowly... We're now calling it Dream Land (Express)!

I've told you before, I like to learn something everyday. Well yesterday as I walked into the woods to chop and salvage some logs that have been sitting on the forest floor for too many years, I heard some scream-like sounds I had never heard before.

After some research online, I'm pretty sure it was a fox.

We've seen and heard quite a few animals on the property. It feels good to be around so much wildlife even though we are so close to town!

Zoom in a little on this image to see a piece of a beautiful Milk Snake

These two pictures are of the same Black Rat Snake. It is said to be the snake that eats the most rodents in the region! That's a keeper... thanks for all you do snake 😁!

Identifying wildlife is something I really would like to dive deep into.

Since we've been here we've seen turkey, deer, a skunk with whome we cross paths with from time to time, a giant snapping turtle we call bruiser because of a big scar on his shell, there's a wood chuck (I think) that wattles away every time he sees one of us coming, a bald eagle, tons of other birds, fish and of course all the really interesting insects and spiders!

I may be forgetting about some other animals.... but that's close to all we've seen thus far. I really really love being outside and away from the big city, I don't know how I spent 25 years there, but now I'm out and constantly learning new things!!!

The other day I had to learn a little something about electricity and re-wired our generator to make it work with out camper home.

And than of course there are all the mushrooms that have been growing like there's no tomorrow. I saw some new ones yesterday too, on my walk to chop wood:

This last one seems to be White Worm Coral.

In the end I managed to salvage quite a few logs, I filled up the back of my car, but there is much more work to be done in that sector, with winter on it's way!

**We are surrounded by so much magic in this forest, I feel so blessed to have started this new adventure with my family. Everyday is a challenge and everyday we grow stronger together, but everyday thus far, has been rewarding. **

Thank you to my Steemit family for giving me the motivation to write (when I can), and helping me learn, I owe you so much Gratitude... All I know to do, is keep posting updats on our progress and hope to inspire some of you!

Once again, thank you for stopping by 😀!

That scream sound that foxes make always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. We have one that does that in the middle of the night every spring.

Yea it's a scary sound! Creepy really...

Love the fox. We have some red fox that actually live in our little city. I see them sometimes when I am at work early. And funny you posting snake pictures, my younger son came home from college this year obsessed with snakes. We have caught a few different species of garter snakes, a rubber boa and a gopher snake. Catch and release fortunately haha. I was lucky enough to be in the woods this weekend and saw a good selection of mushrooms. Always enjoy reading your posts @senorcoconut :)

Thank you so much, it really feels good to hear those words. I wish I had more time to write and read these days.... but I know I'm on the right path, building our life out in the woods, learnong and sometimes working my babylonian job (We needed some cash!).

Snakes are something else I'd like to learn about, have a good learning experience with your son.
