Anyone else do any nighttime wildlife watching? |
|
My wife and I have discovered that after dark in the cool of the evening, during the summer when it is hot during the day to do much, nighttime wildlife watching can be a hell of a lot of fun. We can find some really neat critters just walking in the grass with a good spotlight. Tree frogs, snakes, spider, and a multitude of different sized, shaped and colored toads. Seen big huge intimidating looking beetles that I had no idea lived around here.
The dogs really like walking at night too. Its a much more calmer and serene time to walk with them. No distractions usually.
If you have never tried doing this I highly recommend it.
We both look forward to the evening around here. We named the biggest and most colorful toad we found Sonic. My grandsons catch bugs and feed them to him. My grandson have named them all.
