What an exciting day, I bet the whole family loved seeing the porcupine, I wish I was there to experience seeing it with you. When Karen and I were working and living on our bosses property here in Montana, we would see wild animals and birds "all the time", it was truly living in the wilderness. That is the one MAJOR thing I miss the most about not living on that property any more. But luckily, I got to experience it for 4 solid years...
We would see wild turkeys and deer so often I almost want to say daily. We would also see black bears, and skunks regularly. I would also see bald eagles, great horned owls, Black-billed Magpie, sandhill crane, mallard, swallow, rufous hummingbirds, red winged blackbird, raven, osprey, turkey vulture, great blue heron, wood duck, Canadian geese, common loon, red tailed hawk, steller's jay, yellow headed blackbird, also a few times we even saw pronghorn & Grizzly bears.
Wow, Allen. That property sounds AMAZING! We get a lot, but not that regularly. Black bears, red foxes, deer, wild turkeys, and hawks are all "sometimes". That porcupine was the first time! Apparently we have a raccoon that figured out how to open our compost bin and go diving in it every night! LOL. That was only revealed by the trail cam, no firsthand sighting. The only thing that's daily are squirrels, chipmunks, and birds. I did just start seeing the cutest little frogs, spring peepers, hopping around our lawn recently. So tiny! Just ordered an all clear box that will allow me to collect small things like the frog, temporarily, while I draw it from all angles. I try not to touch or collect animals, but sometimes I really want to study them from more than one perspective. I hope this works!
