My Home

As I was home getting my vaccine I had to improvise which ended up being pretty interesting! These were all taken from my home in Littleton NH. My mom hasn’t stopped feeding the birds yet which made for some good visitors from our surrounding natural community. I had a good time exploring my property with my improved identification knowledge. Spring phenology here is slightly behind Burlington as we are at a higher elevation. Our perennial plants have yet to bloom in full force. There aren’t many postings on I-Naturalist in our area. I showed my mom how to use it so now there will at least be some bird indexing coming out of Littleton.

This is a picture of some small Night Caps from the Buttercup family. These were under the shade of a pine at the edge of the yard.
Here is a Black Bear that has come to eat the small amount of seed that is out for the birds. Also pictured is our cherry tree in the front yard that took some damage upon the visit. Sadly I was unsuccessful in uploading the video I took.
The wasps have constructed hives under the eaves of our house and barn.

I enjoyed observing the house with a different eye and I kept noticing all the ways that my family interacts with nature. All of the things that my parents do to bring in wildlife like planting flowers or putting out seed bring in birds, bees, and evidently bears. While I was home we planted several areas with Service Berry on the edge of our lawn to further attract a variety of avian life.
