The Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), also known as the grey squirrel depending on region, is a tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus. It is native to eastern North America, where it is the most prodigious and ecologically essential natural forest regenerator.The generic name, Sciurus, is derived from two Greek words, skia, meaning shadow, and oura, meaning tail. This name alludes to the squirrel sitting in the shadow of its tail. The specific epithet, carolinensis, refers to the Carolinas, where the species was first recorded and where the animal is still extremely common. In the United Kingdom and Canada, it is simply referred to as the "grey squirrel". In the US, "eastern" is used to differentiate the species from the western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus).
It's a pretty routine shot, but surely a handsome bird. These large-headed, medium sized songbirds are said to be quite fearless when defending their nests and territory. They are known to harass and attack much larger predators such as hawks, crows and squirrels that invade their territory.
Eastern Meadowlark
From Audubon:
A familiar bird, known by the black "V" on its chest when it sings from a fencepost, or by the flash of white tail feathers when it flushes from the grass. The clear whistled song of the Eastern Meadowlark can be heard in spring not only in the East but also in desert grasslands of the Southwest. Some scientists believe that the southwestern form is actually a different species. Other races of the Eastern Meadowlark are widespread in Central America and northern South America.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Very small and incredibly fast, I always know when Eastern Spinebills are in my garden because they have a distinctive call. Seeing them is a joy while taking photos is a challenge. So I was thrilled recently when my patience was rewarded with some half decent photos of this delightful little bird in my backyard.
The Eastern Spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris) is a species of honeyeater found in south-eastern Australia in forest and woodland areas, including my garden. It is around 15 cm long, and has a distinctive black, white and chestnut plumage, a red eye, and a long downcurved bill. The call is a clear, high-pitched, staccato piping "chip-chip-chip", sometimes repeated for lengthy periods.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!
