This handsome whitetail buck paused to watch me do some weeding in the garden before wandering over to the field. Backyard wildlife.
It was late afternoon in shade, I had to crank up the ISO for high shutter speed , but introduced noise. This image is heavily cropped as the lens was only 200mm.
I was relaxing and doing a crossword puzzle when my phone dinged. It was Don with this message "Cooper's Hawk is NOW on pigeon carcass" Wow! In our backyard!! This hawk was totally oblivious to us as both of us captured multiple shots of him eating his prey. At this moment he is still sitting in our yard next to the pigeon. I think he is so full he can't fly yet. He has been there 2 1/2 hours. What an experience.
This Sharp Shinned Hawk scanned the yard and didn't mind that I was close by. In the end, he left empty handed. (This time!)
I was so thrilled that I was home when the mom and fawn strolled through my backyard one evening last week.

We have had some snow lately. Here are shots of four common regulars taken while they were visiting my deck rail in search of seeds this week. They were all rewarded.

The backyard has been full of flowers, butterflies and hummingbirds. It's been a pleasure being lazy and watching the butterflies flit around!
BACKyards Series
Often the facades are maintained and the care erases the soul and the history of the houses and their inhabitants.. maybe the truth lives in the back yards?
I heard a different bird call in the yard today and was so surprised to see a Love Bird mingling with the other birds around the feeders.

What a surprise we had this morning when a Scarlet Tananger came into our backyard. Our backyard does not backup to a forest preserve so this was a rare and welcome visitor for us! First time we have ever seen this in the 28 years we have lived here! Apparently it wanted to try the grape jelly we had out for the Baltimore Orioles.....which have also been very plentiful this year too!
