What is in your backyard?

[joeb631a]

Anybody know what kind of spider this is? She builds a huge web every night at my patio door. Actually there are two of them that each make a web in each corner of my patio lights. View attachment 338583View attachment 338584
my stoned self watched her make the web for about 15 minutes from the third pic view thru my patio door. I have a spider sticky on my door to remind me not to walk thru the web every morning. I sweep it down everyday. Didn’t want to kill the spiders but may relocate them.

Check out Yellow Garden Spiders. Hard to tell, but it could be one of those. I don't usually kill spiders either. There's a web behind my water heater that has hundreds of bug skeletons on the floor underneath I have to sweep up once in a while, but I leave the spider alone.

I guess they do come in handy for something.

They come in handy for destroying a double pane Anderson sliding glass door. Been there.

I knew a guy that hit a pelican once - blew out his windshield. I imagine a turkey would do the same. Those things fly FAST.

Pretty much no ticks this year. Usually by this time I would have been bitten a dozen times. Granted I am not out in the woods as much but the my usually ride in on my cats too.

Y’all got the dumbest turkeys in Colorado that I ever seen. Even out in the mountains, you could pretty much just walk right up on them.
I have seen turkeys get half tame in subdivisions, around here myself, but you sure can’t walk up on them in the woods around here.

Take the hour and watch this.

This group comes daily. 4 hens, a Tom and a Jake. The 2 males displaced my buddy Thomas and Not Thomas who I can identify by battle scars. Yes. I have too much time on my hands…

The hens follow me around in the woods. They are probably going to end up on my neighbors table for Thanksgiving…

 

[NewbOldster]

There were two of them. I've watched them grow up as triplets.

I was taking a leak in the woods and felt like I was being watched. Finished up and turned around to this…
