The Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Squirrels are often considered pests at bird feeders, since they directly compete with birds for food at the feeders. Placing a separate feeder primarily for squirrels is a good compromise. Often, more birds will visit your feeders if squirrels are around because they make excellent lookouts and will sound the alarm when a predator is around. Photographed on June 7, 2020 in Coconut Creek, Florida.

Gray Treefrog
Scientific name:
Hyla chrysoscelis and Hyla versicolor
Features:
Gray treefrogs are Missouri’s most common species of treefrog. Two species of gray treefrogs occur in Missouri: Cope’s gray treefrog, Hyla chrysoscelis, and the eastern gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor. There is always a large, white marking below each eye. Large, adhesive toe pads are present on fingers and toes.
Color:
May be gray, greenish-gray or brown. Bright green specimens are
often seen. The inside of each hind leg is washed with yellow-orange.
Size:
Average from 1 ¼ to 2 inches in head-body length.
Habitat:
Forest-dwelling
Breeding:
Late May and early June in fishless, woodland ponds.
Call:
These two species are nearly identical in appearance and are best separated by their calls. Cope’s gray treefrog sounds like a buzzer, while the eastern gray treefrog has a birdlike, musical trill.

SPECS:
*
Size & Shape
A medium-sized, slender songbird with a long, rounded, black tail and a narrow, straight bill. Catbirds are fairly long legged and have broad, rounded wings.
*
Color Pattern
Catbirds give the impression of being entirely slaty gray. With a closer look you’ll see a small black cap, blackish tail, and a rich rufous-brown patch under the tail.
*
Behavior
Catbirds are secretive but energetic, hopping and fluttering from branch to branch through tangles of vegetation. Singing males sit atop shrubs and small trees. Catbirds are reluctant to fly across open areas, preferring quick, low flights over vegetation.
*
Habitat
Look for Gray Catbirds in dense tangles of shrubs, small trees, and vines, along forest edges, streamside thickets, old fields, and fencerows.
FACTS:
* The Gray Catbird’s long song may last for up to 10 minutes.
* The male Gray Catbird uses his loud song to proclaim his territory. He uses a softer version of the song when near the nest or when a bird intrudes on his territory. The female may sing the quiet song back to the male.
* The Gray Catbird belongs to the genus Dumetella, which means “small thicket.” And that’s exactly where you should go look for this little skulker.
* The oldest known Gray Catbird lived to be 17 years 11 months old.

The most classic of all little girl's coats, Rothschild has been designing girls coats for over 125 years. Rothschild girls coats have an unmistakebale look and quality that no others can match. When your little girl puts on her Rothschild coat, she'll look like a beautiful princess. Rothschild children's coats are one of the highest quality coats that money can buy. Rothschild coats won't last for a season.... they could last for generations, hand me downs passed down from grandmother to mother to daughter. The styles don't go out of style, Rothschild coats are always classics.
One of my favorite birds, something of a complex mimic. They don't sound as perfect as Mockingbirds or Thrashers in their calls, but listen carefully and the songs and calls are there and sound incredible once you learn to ID them in that strange voice. I hear them mimic a number of different birds here.
A good Youtube video from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology demonstrates their abilities wonderfully.

This understated foursquare is located in Kittrell, Vance County, North Carolina and was built between 1910-1920. It’s painted gray with a darker gray trim Three chimneys have an interior placement, 2 near the front and one at the rear. There are at least two gables, both pedimented, one on the side and one at the back (I was unable to view one side of the structure). A typical 4-square dormer dominates the roofline of the front façade, all windows showing a diamond pattern in the top pane. The second level at front has three windows, the middle for the upper hallway; this second floor window has rectangular vertical sidelights extending the length of the window. The first level entrance has a wraparound porch with plain railings and eight Tuscan (?) columns. At each extremity of the porch is a pilaster. The porch is wood with concrete (probably) steps. The single-leaf door has a decorated continuous transom and decorated sidelights extending 2/3 the length of the door with a panel below each sidelight. A side bay forms one end of the porch with its simple entrance with transom. The bay extends the full length of the house and is topped with a pedimented gable with a semi-circular window with keystone design. Windows throughout are 1/1 double-sash. The foundation is probably of concrete, possibly housing a basement. A wooden deck with lattice-work extends from one of the sides at the rear. The house is large, encompassing more than the standard 8 rooms of this style.

Photographed on my lunch break, Feb.29th. The Gray Partridge is not native to North America as it was introduced from Eurasia. There are several pockets in eastern Ontario where they thrive, mainly near large agricultural fields. Photographed near Navan, Ontario. Canon 7D, 400mm f5.6L, 1/3200, f6.3, iso 400, handheld.
Jocelyne and I were doing some gardening today and we came across this little guy in behind one of my flower pots. Isn't he the cutest little tree frog. He's quite tiny, only a couple centimeters long. I just love his colouring, he can actually change colour according to his surroundings and will turn from gray to green and black to white...pretty cool hey. I'm not much into picking up frogs anymore, I think I gave that up when I was a little kid though briefly got back into when our kids were little and needed help capturing frogs but that was years ago :-) But I braved it and did pick up this little guy so you could see how tiny he is in comparison to my hands (there's a picture in the comments). And he wasn't a real squirmy frog like the leopard frogs we find in our yard, so he was kind of nice to hold, he just stuck to my thumb.
I've posted some more Spring shots on my blog.
Gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus) profile photographed in La laguna Ojo de Liebre, Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur.
Being able to have a Gray whale so close to the boat with the right type of underwater photography gear, and cooperative visibility (by Baja lagoons standards) all lined up for a profile image I’ve been dreaming of making for many years.
