Garden Visitors

We've had a few unexpected guests in our back yard recently...

Lucy, the neighbor's cat.  She has been hunting our resident chipmunks and voles.  Go get'em Lucy!  Our cats have also started to notice her, and Lucy now knows that we have cats.  The curiosity continues!  She even almost had a chance encounter with Maggie the Wheaten this past week.

A green heron.  We have been hearing and see him down by the neighborhood ponds.  Just this week, he seems to have noticed that we have fish in our little pond.  We watched him eat two of them today!

Ah, the circle of life!
