Today's Backyard Wildlife

I would gladly send you the mockingbirds from our yard and the neighbors yard. To listen to those birds 30 feet away continuously calling for hours is enough to make you forget it’s the state bird and hope the cats catches it. If they would only take a break…..

I can imagine that gets old rather quickly.

Agree! And I'll throw in a couple dozen squirrels as a bonus!

Amazingly, we don't have many squirrels that come near the house. They, for the most part, stay in the timber 150 yards east of the house. Having plenty of farm cats around probably helps.

On the front hill having lunch today. She’s been around a lot lately.

I was power washing the porch and he (she?) was building a home behind a shutter. We stared at each other for a minute. It was tense but eventually the power washer won. I’m thinking it’s a temporary victory. He (she?) will be back tomorrow I’m sure.

Hate them damn things! Bad attitude from the git go.

Incredible shot! Definitely a face off!

Covered with chocholate, they no longer scary but yummy.

That's an incredible photo Tom... but I'm siding with Eric on this one. I hate hornets and wasps. Bees I can tolerate but these guys who can sting and sting and sting some more need to go elsewhere.
