| Nature
people love the place
Do you like nature? Love animals? Then you will like Lakeside
Melodies.
Meet the animals that live at and around the resort. |
 |
Deer
Deer live in the woods and around Little Pleasant Lake. Sometimes
you see them drinking water on the shores. Or, if you are lucky,
you can see them next to our Folk Cottage. Another good way
to spot them: walk up the hill at dusk and be very quiet. They
come up there to eat
berries from the trees. Bring a flash light, but make sure you
don't scare them away.

Cardinal
The
Cardinal or the Northern Cardinal is one of the prettiest birds
you will see on our property. The male is bright red, the female
is brownish. |
 |
Wild
turkey
In
the woods up the hill you can sometimes spot wild turkeys when
they rush around in the bushes. Recently spotted: a complete
family with nine young ones. |
 |
Canada
goose
Although
we don't always like these visitors, you will definitely see
some Canada geese. Somehow they seem to love our beach and keep
coming back. |

Ducks
Our
cute white duck Alex has been living at Lakeside Melodies since
the start three years ago. He's on his second marriage. First
wife Maximá died, which was very sad, but he's happy
again with his two new girls Ariane and Amalia (Amalia is the
talkative one). In winter they live in the creek, the rest of
the year they roam around the property. If you would like to
feed them, ask us, it's fun! |

Cats
We
have three friendly cats. White Sox (picture) is very pettable.
Freckles is shy, but just as sweet. New is: Obama, our First
Black Cat in the history of Lakeside Melodies. If you don't
want them to beg at your barbecue, then don't feed them.
Turtles
Little Pleasant Lake is famous for it's turtles. Watch this
snapper!
|
| Groundhogs,
raccoons
They
look cute, but we're not always happy to see these guys. Groundhogs
dig under buildings,
but don't do much harm. Raccoons, even cuter, dig into anything,
so we're always watching them to stay out of our buildings.
Don't worry, if we catch them, we don't harm them, but find
them a new home. |
