Assorted Critters

We've seen a number of critters of various sorts in our travels over the past few weeks.  Here's a selection of them.

We saw this small herd of Buffalo on a ranch up the peninsula last week, a farm we saw a similar herd on last fall.

I was weeding in the garden a month or two ago, when I heard some scratching.  Looking up at the shed, I found 3 young Red Squirrels scampering around on the outside part of the roof that extends out a bit - and chattering madly.

We've seen lots of cattle grazing.  This herd was on our Mystery Garden Tour, part of a much larger group moving slowly across the field.

And another couple of curious cows I saw a couple of months ago.

There are a fair number of horses in the area, usually too far off to get a useful picture.  But this one was right by the fence, and interested in who I was briefly.

And the Keppel Croft Garden I visited awhile back had a small sheep herd, housed in this nice old barn.

  1. The bison particularly draw my eye. I remember years ago there was a place that had them in the Milton area, on the west side of the Escarpment.

  4. That barn seems awfully tall for sheep. Does it have an upstairs for hay or something?

  5. Squirrels are my choice for today, maybe because we do not have any here.

  10. Those red squirrels are nothing but trouble, they will chew up wiring and what ever else they can find. I enjoyed seeing your Buffalo and the sheep barn...very pretty setting:)
