Anchor Bay Village is often host to swallow nests. This year Karen Scott, owner of Banana Belt Realty, watched as a pair patiently built a nest, mud pellet by mud pellet. Three chicks were hatched. Karen dubbed this photo "Feed me Trio,"as a parent arrived with a tasty bug.

Thanks to Karen for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Gray foxes have had their kits, and the kits are growing up. They love to play with each other and they are very cute to see. Grace O'Malley has had two healthy-looking kits coming to her place near Timber Cove for water.
