An American beech and white oak that maybe grafted together, or at least are growing around each other.
I’ve never seen two trees of very different species do this before! Logging as both trees separately, this one is for the beech tree.
I have a 100 gallon tub of water near my house so wildlife can drink. Just as it was getting dark a short while ago something caught my eye and this small White-tailed buck came to drink. Somehow this fella got a plastic jug caught up in his velvet antlers...I hope he can get it off. I had to chuckle at this sight, however, something I had certainly never seen before. Anyway, he drank some water then trotted away. Hope he will be OK!
Was chasing a squirrel around the trunk of the tree. Never caught it.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a better picture before they flew away
Had quite a close encounter with this coyote
