Youngsters

I've been doing a lot of posting today, as I have to stay by the phone in the house.  We have a wasp nest above the kitchen ceiling in an enclosed part of the attic.  Early this morning they drilled through the drywall ceiling and were emerging into the house.  We managed to tape over the hole with clear packing tape and kill the wasps loose in the house.  I tried spraying their entry hole on the outside of the house last night with wasp spray, but that just made them mad.  I have been waiting about 8 hours for any of 3 pest control companies to call me back.  Meanwhile, the wasps are enlarging the hole under the tape, and you can hear them chewing at the drywall.  

Sooo, I'm calming myself down by looking at and posting nature pictures. 

This fawn appears to be a wet newborn.

This might be the same fawn 17 days later.

The Common Merganser family of 14 ducklings is really thriving.  They swim so fast when chasing fish!
