Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Doe (looks like she is expecting soon) inside the fenced in wildflower meadow. The fence needs to be repaired. I haven’t planted any wildflower seeds this year, so self-seeded from last year’s plants or local weeds. The tiny orange flowers are Siberian Wallflowers. I think the yellow ones are weeds. Daily birds include: Gray Catbird, pair of Brown-headed Cowbirds, Northern Cardinal, Chipping Sparrow, and Tufted Titmouse
