Cranes: Our property is across from a state nature area with nesting cranes. There's nothing more lovely than watching and hearing the cranes fly overhead as they make their way to their nests. 2. Peepers: Every spring and early summer, enjoy the nightly concert of spring peepers, a small chorus frog who live in a pond on our land. There's nothing like it! 3. Coyotes: At sunset most nights you'll hear the howling of coyotes who roam the bluffs. They don't like humans, so it's unlikely you'll see them. But hearing them adds a special magic to the evening. 4. Deer: Deer criss-cross our land. You may see them as they walk across the driveway or the forest just outside the windows. 5. Snapping Turtles, Eagles, Hawks, Owls: These are seldom seen, but sometimes you'll luck out and see an American Eagle flying overhead or a large snapping turtle (don't touch!) crossing the road near the pond. You'll occasionally hear an owl.
