    It's time for a little different episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side!

    Leave It to Beavers

    We're back for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side! It's the time of year that we are starting to get hints of Fall and many animal behaviors are starting to change with the seasons. Birds are migrating, squirrels are getting busy, but I always thing of the industrious beaver this time of year! The careful observer who has beavers in the area will notice more activity from these semi-aquatic mammals as they start caching twigs, branches, and other food for the winter...

    Blast from the Past - Bodacious Box Turtles

    It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side! We have had a lot of rain lately and while sitting on the back porch during a heavy thunderstorm, Gabrielle and I thought back to 2021 for our episode on box turtles. With all the rain we've been having, box turtles are once again on the move, and that means they are crossing roads and in danger of getting hit. To remind all our listeners to be on the lookout for box turtles crossing the road, instead of doing anothe...

    Back Porch Birdwatching - Red-shouldered Hawks

    It's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side and this episode literally fell from the sky for Gabrielle and I! We are fortunate to have a family of Red-shouldered hawks living in our woods and they put on a show recently, literally waking Gabrielle up with their loud shrieking.

    Eastern Rat Snakes - Climbing Constrictors

    Hey everyone, it's time for another episode of Walkin' on the Wild Side! This time, tragedy at with our screech owl family prompted us an opportunity to talk about the sometimes seemingly "cruel" side of Mother Nature. Join Marvin and Gabrielle on the back porch to talk about the often misidentified, misunderstood, and sometimes just plain despised eastern rat snakes.
