The flora and fauna

Just a few of the creatures and plants in the neighbourhood...

Gopher - incredibly annoying and multiply quickly!

Mule Deer - They frequently visit our property. We also see them out on the trails and in the horse pastures.


Pileated Woodpecker
Cedar Tree

Bald Eagle
Black Bear - Saw one last week!! And the chef saw 2 on her walk yesterday. She said she backed away slowly, turned, and headed for home.
Fir Tree

(I take no credit for these photos!)

Were also visited by hummingbirds, finches and hawks. Surrounded by birch, spruce and maple trees.
The creek that flows across the fields are full of salmon and trout. The fisheries come around to deposit baby fish and do regular counts to check popularion.
