The Deer was this morning, But when I came home this afternoon and looked out at the feeder and saw the #Indigo# Bunting working away on the ground, oblivious of the other birds. Have never seen this before. I photographed one years ago in a tree but never at the feeder.#Nature#

Some species of gray langurs have a special relationship with Spotted Deer They notify each other when predators approach In return, the langurs give the deer fruit as gifts, from tall trees the deer can’t reach This type of relationship is called mutualism 📸hrishiwild

I looked out my living room windows this morning to see who was at the feeders and guess what? Moma #deer# was back again. She stayed quite a while eating the fresh green grass, and on leaving for the bush, she left a little fertilizer so the good grass would continue.#NaturePhoto#

The goal was to get 3 new peach trees by the end of this year. I have one planted, and so far it’s already got 5 little peaches (and a wire fortress to keep the deer at bay-don’t worry we do share eventually but our friends are impatient)

Unlike many billionaires who acquire land for private estates or commercial development, Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma, co-founder of Alibaba, chose a different path with his purchase in upstate New York. In 2015, Ma spent approximately $23 million to acquire 28,000 acres of pristine wilderness featuring dense forests, rivers, and mountains. Rather than developing the property, he dedicated it to conservation, transforming the land into a protected wildlife sanctuary. The vast area now serves as a safe haven for black bears, white-tailed deer, migratory birds, and numerous other species. It has also become a valuable site for ecological research, enabling scientists to study biodiversity in an undisturbed natural environment. Ma’s commitment reflects his broader dedication to global conservation. He has supported multiple environmental initiatives worldwide and believes that significant wealth should be used to preserve irreplaceable natural landscapes for future generations. This project stands out as a notable example of using private resources for large-scale environmental protection in the United States.
