- wild turkey
- deer
- gopher
- opossum
- skunk
- hawk (or possibly falcon)
- rabbit (although I saw more of those critters when I visited my parents earlier in July in the 'burbs of Chicago)
- toad
- frog
- what I think were red lizards of some sort, crushed on the road
Further, I encountered more spiders and moths than I've seen in the previous two years combined. Add in the beetles, crickets, and UFIs (unidentified flying insects), and it was a total free for all. While it was all exciting, I'm very relieved to again be in the tame confines of my New York City apartment this evening.
Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteI was about to say you must have spent the night in our back yard, but you mentioned seeing a creature called the opossum and knew you were not near here. I think the opossum is possibly related to the our Georgia possum- they look similar.
I am enjoying your book!
Aren't wild turkeys stunningly hideous?
ReplyDeleteI think anything crushed on the road is red, so coulda been anything.
