At our Summer Residence the wild life is all around us.

Poses are looking great, Pom!
I know what you mean about the wildlife. I find myself staring out the window or sitting on the porch just watching all the activity in the yard.
I keep adding hummingbird feeders because we are just covered up with them this year. One day, I had 6 fighting over one feeder because the other feeders were empty. We normally are a way station for them headed north and one or two females stick around to build a nest. But, this year, many have stayed permanently. Just never went north.
My first one showed up in February and she built a nest nearby, clearly. Now her babies are at the feeder too - those are the only ones she allows to feed at HER feeder thank you very much. All others are run off in titan battles.
We have a juvenile Downy Woodpecker who is determined to figure out the suet feeder. Poor little guy tries so hard. He eventually gets there, but sometimes I'm tempted to go hang it on the tree. But the squirrels will eat all his suet if I do.
I finally stopped fighting the squirrels and chipmunks over the seed feeders and bought food just for them - they are seriously furry little pigs. But with their own feeder outside the fence safely away from the dogs, they leave the bird feeders alone. Of course, now they torture the dogs because they can see them and can't catch them. So the dogs and the furry creatures just torture each other.
Then there's the foxes in the meadow, the coyotes howling at night, the bunny rabbit that visits by the fence if we forget to throw the veggie and fruit food scraps out for her.
Like I said, I have to tear myself away to get anything else done.
