A bird that has been a massive challenge for a little while. Finally managed to get a good shot of one earlier this morning with nice light and some detail. Using your car as a blind is a massive challenge - stabilization, heat challenges, etc. but I grabbed a few sharp shots!

The eastern gray squirrel is a bushy-tailed member of the rodent family. They have grayish-brown fur with paler fur on their undersides. The tail often has silvery-tipped hairs at the end. Eastern gray squirrels can grow 17 to 20 inches long. Florida is home to two other species of squirrels, the fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) and the southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans).
Eastern gray squirrels occur in woodland and urban areas, especially near oaks and hickories, and are active during the day, often feeding on the ground. They spend much of their lives in trees.
The eastern gray squirrel hoards food in numerous places for later recovery. They have the ability to recall the location of thousands of food caches. Preferred foods include bark, berries, seeds and acorns.
Breeding can occur up to twice a year. Nests are made in the forks of trees, but they will nest in attics when accessible, becoming a nuisance to many homeowners. Litter size averages one to four young.
Of the 94 species of wild mammals that are native to Florida, none are more frequently encountered than squirrels. Squirrels belong to the most successful and widespread order in the world, rodents. One of the main differences between squirrels and most other rodents is that squirrels have a rather large, bushy tail.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
A local celebrity these days - this Eastern Meadowlark was feeding amongst the long grasses against the slope of a hill. Although starvation may be an issue, Owls and Hawks also frequent the area and this guy pops out against the snow...
The female Eastern Koël (Eudynamys orientalis) is larger than the male, with speckled feathers and lacking the bright red eyes of her mate. These birds migrate to Australia where they spend the warmer months laying their eggs in other birds' nests and shattering the peace with a range of loud and discordant calls. I do not welcome these birds to my yard, and the other birds shun them.

Another first find for me - the Eastern Phobe doesn't hang around Iowa to much - except during breeding season. A beautiful little bird about 6" long on average with a plump look!
Happy Fence Friday!
