We put out the call for pictures of Wilton Wildlife, and you — well, basically you went wild with submitting great photos of all the various fauna amidst the flora of Wilton. From birds of prey to preying felines to foxes and fawns and fabulous insects, you’ve shown the varied animal world with whom we share Wilton.
Here’s a selection of the great images our GOOD Morning Wilton readers sent us–thanks to all of you who did submit pictures. We’re not sure whether we should be scared or amazed at the animal life around us!
These next photos are from reader Colleen O’Brien, who wrote us: “I love the idea of featuring the wildlife we live with! I’ve attached photos we have taken on our property over the years. Our property is next to Allen’s Meadow and across from Saunders Pond, so we benefit from the open space and get to see all kinds of terrific wildlife, especially birds. We’ve seen quite a lot of exciting animals over the years, including a black bear, bobcat, mink, a long-tailed weasel, and more, but we have no photographs of those…okay, I included a ridiculously blurry photo of a bear. We can’t wait to see what will visit this year!” Colleen, thank you for sharing all of these, including the blurry bear picture!

These images sent by Karen Murchison were so incredible we wanted to include the whole series. She photographed this baby fox in her Thayer Pond Rd. front yard–it was waiting for its mother who had headed off into the woods. The foxes have a den in Karen’s neighbor’s backyard.
