What non-game critter makes you smile?

[Cmp1]

Yeah, seems like there's always a woodpecker of some kind around. I've got a a little downy that keeps me company in one stand and a yellow bellied sap sucker in another. Love it when a big 'ol piliated swoops in!

No mistaking the sound of a pilleated on takeoff,,,,I've got a interesting Pic,if I can find it,,,,

Raptors and woodpeckers. Also all the non-game birds around my feeders.

Weasels are some of the coolest, but most rarely seen critters in GA. Pound for pound, mustelids are some of the most ferocious predators despite their cute and cuddly appearance.

Couple a' years back while taking my birdwatching brother rambling on a local farm he spotted two young piliateds with their heads poked out of a cavity high in a pine tree. Woulda' made a great picture but alas and alack - no camera!

Saw three cotton rats yesterday while mowing a field. I smiled at each one.
Also saw a bunny, though he's game, he made me smile to.

I like all the birds.
I like the female Towhee and her colors when it comes to female birds.

Those things terrorized our barn cat. I’ve seen the ole cat mad and try to catch them on the wing.

Owls fascinate me! I also love to hear crows. The sound takes me back to south GA when I was a kid and learning to deer hunt.
Really all Gods critters are awesome ... With the exception of humans! We sure can screw up the forest with all are marvelous inventions!

Otters, river or sea, they play around with intensity and abandon..

The Great Horned Owl is my favorite bird, the close second is a Blue Bird. I love hearing two owls talking to each other down in a hardwood bottom. And the Blue Bird just has a pureness in his call.
I also enjoy the honey bee, I even have a few hives of them on the yard. I enjoy most all critters around here, except crows.

I'm with you on the crows! I try to like 'em I really do, but...

There's a great Doc on npr on how smart crows are,,,,

I smile at seeing most animals. But I definitely don’t like crows, armadillos or fire ants(insect I know)

Wrens. They`re pure entertainment.

I love watching every critter and bird out there, and enjoy their company more than 99% of the human race.

We've got a Carolina wren that built a nest in an old flower pot on our covered porch. She's hatched the eggs now. There was 2 of them out there yesterday going back and forth to the nest. Do the males help raise the babies?

Yes, they do.
