More than flowers!!!

 At times the garden is about more than plants!

 

So far this year the gardens have offered us more than just the plants and blooms.  There have been Fox, American Eagles, vultures, hawks, birds of all kinds.   Some birds passing through and many staying to nest.  There is so much more to the gardens this time of year.

 

Here are some recent garden visitors.

 

Brown Thrasher

Doe with one fawn.

It is common for a deer to have one or two babies in the Spring.

It is very unusual for a Doe to have triplets!

These photos were taken in the last four days.

Had to take two pictures,  couldn't believe there were three!

White Pelicans - flying over the gardens this morning,

as I was posting for the Blog today.

Over the last eight years they started to migrate here for the summer,

originally from the Virginia and the East Coast.

And of course – there are the flowers with their “friends”.

 

Hope you enjoyed your visit.
