What I've Seen As Of Late

What have I seen as of late (besides birds)?

I've not seen any grey squirrels, but this rather weird brownish/grey squirrel has been on the wood pile,muscling out the little chipmunks.   

Fewer bunnies than our peak in mid-August.  Often the backyard is rabbit-free much to the cats' disappointment. 

This snake happily basked on the radiated heat of the concrete.

Parvati Patel is perfectly camouflaged.

Nonetheless, she did not go unobserved! 

So she crouched and hissed...

...then had to beat a retreat...

...past a group of four deer.

One of whom was especially fascinated by her.

So Poor Parvati ducked in behind the tractor blade.

The Interested Parties watched, hoping she'd pop back out. 

And her twin, Padma Patel watched from the safety of the Front Porch.
