Up Close to Nature

o you live close to wild creatures? You may think you don’t, but take another look. You will be surprised. Hunter and Parker are two brothers who live in Bozeman, Montana. They live in a state where there are many animals roaming around in the wild – elk, antelope, wolves, coyotes, bears, bison, mountain lions, moose, and bobcats. The boys are aware of creatures right in their own backyard. One day, while they were out playing, they discovered something crawling in the grass. Hunter picked it up to look at it more closely. It was a caterpillar. The next day, they heard a bird hit the window. Parker investigated. He saw the wild thing sitting very still on their deck. Hunter took a picture of the bird without disturbing it.

Fortunately, it was not badly injured and flew away.

Did this deer just finish a snack?

They named it Bob.

Hunter and Parker see other wild creatures in their yard that you may have seen – rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, birds, bugs, butterflies, and deer.
