Back yard critters

unwantede critters......................

European Hornets - big f-erkers. I've been coming across them for the last two days working in the back. Suspect there's a nest somewhere back there. Killed 7 of 'em in the last two days using a short handle wisk broom (about the length of a baseball bat) by swatting them out of the air & then slamming them with the broom & finally usually hsving to step on them (twice) to kill it.


European Hornets in Central and Eastern Virginia The European hornet, also known as the brown or giant hornet, gets its common name from being introduced to the eastern United States from Europe in the mid-1800s. These hornets are found in 30 states, from the eastern U.S. as far west as Louisiana and the Dakotas. European hornets are much larger than yellowjackets, and unlike most stinging insects, can be active at night. Adults, possibly seeking prey, come to light in the evening and can be a source of great concern for homeowners.

May have to call in "the Bug Guy"
 
Say hello to my new pet Juvenile Greater Black Back Seagull, Jonathan Livingston. He's been in my yard every day for over a week and just the other day I was able to see what he's been eating, Earthworms??!!!

The interest thing is that he's in the yard at high tide, but not to be seen on low tide. I guess he's down looking for food in the marsh.
