There are many reasons that we love going to Mt. Nebo, Arkansas... If you missed my first two posts from this trip, click
HERE. Today I will share another reason I love going to Mt. Nebo---the WILDLIFE.
The picture above was taken the first afternoon when we got there. This deer (and others) were there to welcome us... They are not really tame--but they are used to people being around, so they don't run away very quickly..
Be sure to click on the photos to see them larger!
Of course, I take birdseed with me when I travel (why wouldn't I????? ha) ---hoping to see some little birds... They must have been waiting on me to get there in Arkansas since as soon as I sprinkled the seed out on the back patio, we had visitors!!!! Here is one of the many Dark-eyed Juncos I saw that week... There are many more Juncos in Arkansas than we have in my part of Tennessee.
All of these photos were taken through a window and a screen --so they are not as good as some that I've taken... BUT---you can recognize them (I hope)... This is a Pileated Woodpecker on a nearby tree.
And of course, the gorgeous red Cardinals visited us there.
There were many Tufted Titmice around --flitting in and out!!!
And where you see Titmice, you always see White-breasted Nuthatches. (We had Chickadees --but somehow, I didn't get their picture.)
Guess who showed up for dinner?????? Three little deer came by the patio to check out the bird food... Isn't he a cutie????
I got alot of screen reflection in this photo --but I still wanted to share it... There was a third deer --but he was out of the picture. They were busy looking at someone walking down the street....
Here's one more of the pretty little deer peaking over the rock wall. I think I heard him say: "Peek-a-boo"...
We didn't see these Turkey Vultures this year ---but I took this picture of them here in 2011... Decided to include it in case you missed my Mt. Nebo photos that year.
Finally, here's another picture of the ROADRUNNER... That is one of my favorite captures EVER. I am still excited about seeing this bird. I had no idea they were in Arkansas now...Maybe they will move on farther east into Tennessee. Ya' think??? "Beep Beep"......
Here is a map showing where one can find Roadrunners in our country... You can see that they are found in Arkansas!!! If you want to read more about this bird, click

Seems like each time we go to Arkansas, we see something new to share!!!! It's just a very special place for us!!!
