My catch for today..

Caught this fellow today, he was swimming away from me, when I started clicking, he heard me and turned and scurried back into the culvert, which was great as 'he was coming towards me' now, I was trying to focus on him, and he was rushing, but I was still very pleased with my catch. Notice he has a fish in his mouth too....
Not sure if it is a Mink or Marten or what, any ideas???

Got his eye on me...

We so take sparrows for granted, but they are actually a pretty bird, this White-throated Sparrow shows off his 'yellow' eyebrows, they love to forage under the feeders for droppings !
The Male Brown-headed Cowbird is a bully at the feeder, even gives me the evil eye, when I am near ! Does he not realize, I fill the damn feeders !! LOL


A 'feather-less friend'...

Came across these 'baby bird' feathers on my Lilac tree, I didn't put them there, like this,
kind of odd how 3 feathers would have landed on a few leaves...the branch is not near strong enough to support even a small bird nor have I seen any babies at all in my yard. oh well...
