Wild things big and small seen this year

 

We had some interesting wild visitors at the cabin this summer, including this Goliath of a caterpillar. 

We also saw two black bears, a cow moose, a whitetail deer, a lynx and several grey-cheeked thrushes which used our clearing for a stop on their migration to the Far North. 

A really unusual feathered visitor that we heard, but didn't actually see, was a whippoorwill, right next to the cabin.
