Junior Has Arrived On July 7th, I posted a doe White-tailed Deer capture and queried “Where’s Junior”? Junior has arrived. Actually, two of them showed up, but I was only able to bag one of the spotted ‘little stinkers’. ~ Anecdote and White-tailed Deer capture, Junior Has Arrived © Jerry L. Ferrara

They’re Back! They’re back from south of the border! Each year we look forward to seeing the return of this elfin member of the Tyrant Flycatcher family arrive, build their nests and raise their young. Last week I thought I heard a male announcing himself in our nearby woods. Yesterday that voice was confirmed and then this sprightly character showed up. Now, buddy, get to work on those flies and mosquitoes! ~ Anecdote and Western Flycatcher capture, They’re Back! © Jerry L. Ferrara
