Wildlife

Spring at Little Frog Ranch is always beautiful!  

Indian Paintbrushes

My favorite tree and cactus

We planted two new Burr Oak Trees on each side of the cabin.

The pond filled back up!  We love to see the animal footprints in the mud around the pond.  There are often deer prints.  

Strange web-like nests in the trees. 
We were nervous that these were spider nests or something, but it turns out, they are caterpillars!  Eastern Tent Caterpillars to be exact!  We saw a few hanging around on the cabin before we saw the nests by the pond. 



We also met our new neighbors to the left.  They helped us solve a mystery! Every now and then we notice some dirt has been disturbed, like animals have been digging there.  We thought it might be moles, but we didn't see any tunnels.  The neighbors saw the rascals in action one night!  It was a herd of about 30 pigs, or maybe hogs!  They had some babies with them.  Once our cabin is completed we'll be able to stay overnight and catch them in action- that would be neat to see in person, but from a safe distance!
