Some assorted birds and wildlife taken either in my backyard or locally.
We have had quite a good year for chipmunks, and they are fearless. This Eastern chipmunk sat a few feet away from me.
Earlier in the summer, a black capped chickadee sat on one of our feeders (top right). At times like this, I wish I had a camera with a good zoom instead of my iPhone 13 mini.
Also earlier this summer, a juvenile Northern cardinal took a rest in another feeder (top right).
Mourning dove on porcupine yard statue.
Rabbit, September 7.
Finally, yesterday, a grey squirrel pole-danced on our feeder pole. It put on quite the show, trying to get to the seed cake right above the triangular thing, which is a baffle designed to keep away squirrels. It doesn't always work, incidentally.
I also took a picture of a turtle where we sometimes exercise walk, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.
I am thankful I have these peaceful moments to enjoy the world around me. Too many people don't have either peaceful moments, or peace.
Tomorrow, why not join me when I join Skywatch Friday and post pictures of the sky?
..few things work when it come to deterring squirrels.
ReplyDeleteI love the chipmunk shot
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely variety of wildlife. I love the chipmunk, though - so handsome in his stripy fur.
ReplyDeleteThat's fun! Maybe not the rabbit, if it eats your plants. My neighborhood has no squirrels. Zero. Other parts of town do. It's a mystery.
