Some views from #these6acres on #OctoberBigDay; I observed 41 bird species here in one day. I love the avian #biodiversity on #WhidbeyIsland! Deer showed up all day too. Some fun sightings: 2 great blue herons, 5 bald eagles, the uncommon call of a common loon, varied thrushes & more. 🌎❤️🦉 #birding

Part of today’s apple harvest. We pluck them as they are ready & always find a few to share with the deer. They are delicious, and I can’t wait to try the apples from our newest trees.

Apple season on #these6acres & the deer are very much in tune with the #season. We do share (fawn munching in the background) but in moderation; too many apples isn’t healthy for deer & keeping some apples is healthy for us! The land is so generous, let’s be generous too. 🌎❤️🍏 #whidbeyisland #pnw
