The birds are a never ending source of amusement. There was a large flock of ? not sure what kind of bird, but they were upset about something- they would wheel around and land in a tree, squawking all the while, and then all pile out and wheel around and go into another tree:
And then, there are all the spiders. I've learned to live with them as long as they are outdoors. Yesterday when I was closing up a panel gate, I could feel a spiderweb, and just a couple of inches from my hand I could see that I had disturbed this one:
I think I'll just use another gate for a while!

I didn't realize you had cows!
The cows are only here in the summer, someone rents the pasture. We are renters on an 80 acre farm, and the part we use is separate from the cow pasture. I sure enjoy having the cows here though.
We have all kinds of Big super ugly Spiders this year ...they are hanging all over the place ..the worst though is they are abundant in the Greenhouse and I can't bring myself to do any work in there cause they creep me out so bad. I was removing them when there wasn't so many and not sooooooo big!!!!!!Gross!!! Gross and Grosser.
I didn't know you had cows either! That Spider looks spooky. Nice photos.
Looks like a Harris Hawk, very cool spider shot too..:-))
Ed, it's too small to be a Harris hawk, and we don't get them here. This guy was only about 10 inches, not much bigger than a Kestrel. It's long tailed, too, although you can't see it well in this photo. He moved so fast, I was lucky to get even this shot.
yikes! that is one big spider, is it Charlotte?
Hi Shirley! How`s the day doin`? Nice looking spiders!
Prefer the cows!....As for the raptor, dont know but it does look fast!
Nice pictures. The spider is an adult male (see the 'boxing gloves' in front of his face, that's how he has sex). He'll be gone soon, looking for love. Very good to have around...they love flies.
