Wildlife
Bucks County has an amazing variety of wildlife.
A Snake in the pool
A snake in the pool . This is is why I’m always careful when working around the pool, especially when opening it.
Fox in Tyler State Park 2006
I was driving through Tyler State Park in 2006 and saw this guy sitting in a field.
Snapping Turtle in the Yard
In 2005 I came across a large snapping turtle in my front yard. One word of caution. They are FAST and onery. Keep a safe distance.
A slithery stowaway in my umbrella
Robins Nest
Every once in a while we get a robin’s nest. This one was from July 2014. I had a lot of Foxgrape on the pool fence and the birds would build nests there
Two Bucks in the woods
Dec 2017 – While walking through my woods, I got a picture of these two bucks and a doe. One buck is obvious but can you see the second?
Big Buck in the front yard – Oct 2016
This buck was hanging around last year. Our neighbor feeds the deer. I’m not talking a handful of feed. I’m talking a pallet or two. We have a herd of about 20 or so.
This buck was in my front yard in October 2016

A friend on my washer
This is from 2013.. I was doing some wash and went to change the water level. As I did so, I noticed this little critter on my washer. It was a harmless garter snake but, even so, I had some extra wash to do after seeing him.
I was able to grab him and let him out in the yard where he could chase bugs and such instead of socks.
