This guy came into the backyard yesterday. I went out to make sure the deer could find it's way back over the fence. Instead he started following me around. Had to finally make enough noise for him to leave. Then hung out in the green belt, munching away for about 20 minutes. Before he left, I told him to watch out for the local Cougar.
Looking for Help
Mom and three kits were caught on camera almost every night in our backyard. Mom and one of her kits stopped showing up. Concerned for the two little ones left behind (and visible on camera) I called the Fish and Wildlife Dept. When I told them mom and one kit had been gone for two weeks, I was told mom was probably NOT coming back, that she was either dead or trapped. After speaking to them we decided to let nature take it's course. Eventually, they would leave on their own.
Well, I am really relieved to say after over 3 weeks mom and the other kit are back with the two left behind. The three little ones were rolling around in the yard as if they were happy to see each other...and all four walking the fence line with mom in the lead! (Now I can sleep better!)
I appreciate your visit and so grateful for your comments/faves!
Stay safe and healthy!!

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?
Getting more and more difficult to find something to smile about in the era of lock-down and no visitors. This little fellow’s visits, however, bring a sense of joy as he flutters around looking for a tasty morsel.
Bewick’s Wrens are medium-sized wrens with a slender body and a strikingly long tail often held upright. They have slender, long bills that are slightly down-curved.
Bewick’s Wrens are subdued brown-and-gray wrens with a long, brow-like white stripe over the eye. The back and wings are plain brown; underparts gray-white; and the long tail is barred with black and tipped with white spots. Males and females look the same.
Bewick’s Wrens cock their long tails up over their backs, often flicking their tails from side to side or fanning them as they skulk through tangles of branches and leaves searching for insects. During breeding season, males sing vigorously from prominent perches.
Bewick’s Wrens favor dry bushy areas, chaparral, scrub, thickets in open country, and open woodlands near rivers and streams. They are at home in gardens, residential areas, and parks in cities and suburbs.

Thank you for visiting!
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 and other hawks patiently wait for birds to feed at out feeder and dive down grabbing what it can.

Despite it being about 100ºF (~38ºC) Jasper wanted a little outdoor play time on Saturday evening. So bucket of ice water in hand we indulged him. For a few minutes anyway 😎

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!)
