Nature

When I let the home I am house sitting mid morning I was started by a rustling noise as I was opening the front door. Once the door was open wide enough I could see the front yard I noticed a large colored shape retreating out of the front yard. At first I thought it could be a mountain lion but it was a deer. It crossed the street and ran into an open field quickly, before I got into my car.

While leaving a friend's house after dinner we were looking up at what we thought were tiny birds flying over head. Then they began to jerk more and we noticed how their wings had a angled shape and jutted forward not behind the body of the animal. When they got close enough we could see ears protruding from the head and realized they were not birds. We were watching Bats fly around in a suburban neighborhood.

It was a great day for viewing wild life.
