Besides seeing the normal beauties of springtime like tiny baby birds in a nest and a spotted deer fawn with its mother, we've seen two other, much more rare, wild animals. First, Our property manager, Gary, was raking the road by the lake and he saw something abnormally large that was not a rock- it was in fact a 45-50 pound snapping turtle! We have small ones in the lake, but never have any of us seen on as huge as this. I'm so glad Gary saw it before it made it to the lake!
He was not happy to be relocated, but the boys were fascinated!
Then just the other day, I was getting ready to run up to the lake with Ace. Everyone else was ahead of me on the mule. Well, halfway to the bridge across the street, the mule was parked and everyone was out, staring up at a tree. A mother bear with two cubs! Last spring I saw a mother with two cubs in the same place. Only last year I only had my legs to carry me home as the mother started coming down after a barking Ace -thankfully this year I had the Mule to rescue us!
Here is the mother, she had her two babies hiding way above her
You can barely see one of the babies here poking its head out- the other one wasn't visible.
