Love is in the air, in the water, on the leaves, under the logs, and everywhere else we nurture enough habitat for animals to safely breed and nest. Love is also in this post for you—an expression of my gratitude for all that you do to nurture the animals and plants in your own wildlife gardens. Though you haven’t heard from me in a while as I devote my creative energies to a new book project, I’ve still been thinking about you. In fact, I’ve been saving these videos of animal love fests to share with my friends on Valentine’s Day! These are just a few of the wild affairs we’ve witnessed over the past year. I hope you don’t mind if I keep my words to a minimum and let the videos speak for themselves. My love and a big virtual hug to all of you, my friends!
