Summer wildlife in Rexburg

Everyday this summer I have watched for wildlife in or near my yard. Lots of sightings so far. 
We have squirrels.  I always wonder where they live. They leap from tree to tree. 
Moose in Rexburg have been plentiful. I heard it is because of the hot summer. 
There is a family of cotton tail bunnies. Every time I go outside I see them. The grand kids have had fun chasing them around. 
Fox I have never seen before this year. I saw one just in front of the Temple a couple of weeks ago. 
Woodpeckers frequent my roof. They make a racket. We are not sure how to get rid of them. 
 There are owls. I love it when I get to see or hear one. 
The neighbors have bee hives, I have a little pond. Their bees come to drink from my pond. You can sit and watch the "bee line". They have a two way highway from their hive to my water. They never bother us. They are fun to watch. 
They have seen deer in our neighborhood this week but I have not seen one yet. I will be on the watch.

Did you make all those critters pose for you? Those are awesome pictures. You should apply to National Geographic. Awesome!
