My new neighbours. Moved the horses to another pasture and I got a closer look at my new neighbours.

Four legs, ears, snout, tail. They must be horses. Just the bovine variety. No, I moved my horses that were in my pasture next to this one so I went and took a closer look at these gals and the calves.
@graceylou Just joking 
I would spend too much time giving them scratchies.

I would too. But they were looking at me like I was a predator and moved away. Then the adults moved around the calves to protect them. Oh well. Cows don't like me I guess (they are all adult females with calves).
@graceylou I would try visiting them every day with snacks (for them!), be soothing and keep a respectful distance. I would also talk to them and play music. Eventually, curiosity and decreased fear will win them over. Hopefully.
@misternatureboy They belong to someone else so I won't give them anything to eat as treats. I wouldn't want random people coming up to my horses and giving them treats, or my dogs too. These cows are (sadly) commodity for profit not animals in a petting zoo, so if anything happens to them, I could be blamed for feeding them something not approved. They do have horses as well over there and they like to be petted.
@graceylou I would give snacks when I'm absolutely sure no one is looking. Hee hee!
@misternatureboy I don't think anyone would be looking. Their house is about a mile away you can barely see it. I've never actually seen the people in the 8 years I've lived here. Have seen their tractors and harvesting machines but never seen the persons closely. Their fields share a fence with ours. They will probably be ok with me around if they see me everyday.
@graceylou Very fishy. What if the cows are running the place, dressing up like hoomans and walking bipedally because four legs good, two legs bad??
@misternatureboy As long as there are no pigs. These cows showed up a couple of weeks ago. Before there were just horses. We think the cows were borrowed from another neighbour to trim their pasture.

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
