These two were sighted in our West Virginia neighborhood. They decided to have a bite to eat and apparently thought our neighbors front porch rug was tasty. No one seems to know where they came from. I hope that they found their way back home safely. Have you had any unusual visitors lately ?

I would threaten to make them into rugs if they ate the one on our front porch. 
I've been seeing and hearing more birds around our house lately, but I don't know why. We always see squirrels, rabbits and, once in a while, raccoons in our back yard.3 people like this

Right now it is migration time and we are supposed to be seeing more birds.

@GardenGerty We usually only see sparrows and crows all summer long.
We had some bunnies and squirrels in the front yard this afternoon.

How cute. Too bad about the rug. I had a mallard duck knock on my front door once. I think he was looking for bugs.

@LindaOHio My grandparents lived on a river and we always had a lot of ducks to watch and feed.

@Tampa_girl7 Me too. We had a pair of male mallards for a year. The guy that owned them cut their wings. We let the wings grow out so that they could fly away in the spring. They were both characters and a lot of fun.

I wonder what makes something taste so good to them? Goats will eat nearly anything. No unusual visitors here lately.

I like them, but they can be a real nuisance.

We have just sown seeds. Will have to protect them once we see leaves on them

@Tampa_girl7 Each of the varieties have different times for leaves to appear I think the balsom will be the first to show.

When do you expect to see leaves.

@Tampa_girl7 - Goats are cute, but they can be destructive.

We had one jump on our car once. My husband and cousin had to round it up and get it to a farm that had goats.

I would think that they would get a tummy ache.

@Tampa_girl7 When they are awarded ribbons at shows, you have to put the ribbons out of reach of they devour them.

Goats are ornery but they are supposed to be good lawn mowers.

@Tampa_girl7 Yes, they aren't known for their neatness, they can leave havoc in a yard.

We had some in our yard a few years back. They were a bit destructive.

I've heard goats will eat just about anything.
The only wildlife I ever see are mourning doves and sparrows

Not lately. But back in the spring we found four baby bunnies in our garden box. They were so cute.
