This little guy was as curious about me as I was of him. Photo captured in my yard near Owasso, Oklahoma.
Did you know the Gray Fox is one of only two members of the Canid (canine) Family that can climb trees? Photo captured in my yard in NE Oklahoma.

Wikipedia: The grey-breasted prinia or Franklin's prinia (Prinia hodgsonii) is a wren-warbler belonging to the family of small passerine birds found mainly in warmer southern regions of the Old World. This prinia is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent, Sri Lanka and southeast Asia.
Conservation status: Least Concern
This guy is about 4-inches long. I haven't been a fan of grasshoppers since the 1990s. I don't remember the exact year but Gray Bird Grasshopper showed up in Eastern Kansas and caused plant and crop destruction of biblical proportions.
However, grasshopper anatomy is spectacular with most species requiring 9 molts to reach adulthood. If you like details, zoom in
I have a very similar shot in color, but it's been raining forever, and today looks to be another gray day, so I went with this one. Someday, I'll post the sunny shot.
Thanks to all for viewing, faving and/or commenting! Much appreciated! L
Happy Bench Monday
The Barabara's buttons flowers attract all kinds of insects, beetles to butterflies...

Gray Peacock-Pheasant isn't all that colorful but when looking at the plumage through binoculars an incredible pattern shows!
Love these guys but I really wish people would stop hand feeding them stuff like potato chips to get them closer.
The butterflies will be leaving this region soon, it's mid-October and I'm surprised there are any still around. Surprised, but happy.

Snakes are the big draw on Snake Road, but frogs were present in large numbers. This little guy stood still for a nice pose. LaRue-Pine Hills, Illinois
The Gray Hawk (Buteo plagiatus) or Mexican goshawk is a smallish raptor found in open country and forest edges. A tropical species that barely crosses the border into Arizona and Texas, the Gray Hawk is an elegant, raincloud-gray raptor with neatly barred underparts.
Its shrill whistle is unmistakable.
This one was observed at eye-level in a Cottonwood Tree.
Lower Huachuca Canyon. It was a "Good Friday"!!
Algonquin Park has a nice family of Gray Jays and were my first attraction to start visiting. Since then I have seen bear(finally) moose, fox and pine martens. Its a heartwarming place to visit.
So Gray a day, no sun, no sky, no shadows so monochrome magic. We're out for our final round of Christmas visits and this pretty wharf shack stands out in its rustic village setting. If anyone is curious why I always shoot at a higher SS it's because I'm recovering from Lyme Disease and my hands shake. Fingers don't do what I ask them to do making it impossible to fumble with a tripod, so I take a deep breath and try to support my upper body and arms before slowly squeezing the trigger. Dr's say this predicament will with much luck possibly heal somewhat over the next year.
