Found this little Tree Frog hanging out in our Hydrangea bushes. As I was taking pictures of him he took a leap right on my glasses completely took me by surprise.
John and I were eating dinner on the back deck when we spotted a gray fox outside the perimeter fence. It walked purposefully along the fence, through a gap in the gate and straight to the bird feeder where it began to scrounge for scraps. Prior to this encounter, we had noticed a worn down path through the grass which we had assumed to be a squirrel trail. Apparently, that path hosts more interesting wildlife than we’d dared to imagine. During our sighting I quietly ducked back inside to grab my camera and snapped a very quick image over the side of the deck. It was dark but I did manage this one fairly respectable shot. Since that evening we have heard red foxes barking in the empty lot behind the house. I’m not really sure what’s happening, but we are watching and listening to see if either species might be denning nearby. Wouldn’t that be a thrill!
As opposed to Grey Crag, which is just a bit further to the south-east. As seen from Hartsop Dodd. You might be able to make out a couple of fellwalkers on the top, to the upper left of the image.
Gray Squirrel pup awaiting rescue on tthe Bitter Aloe (a.k.a. Red Aloe, Cape Aloe; Aloe ferox) in my garden - The Space Coast of Florida
The Red-shoulder Hawks have been making a ruckus in the neighborhood lately, and this guy winding up in the Bitter Aloe
is likely a result of their activities.
It wasn't there an hour later,
so it was either rescued by it's parents,
or all it's problems are over.

The Gray Jay, or Canada Jay, also known as "camp robber" is a feisty little alpine bird that will literally land on you to steal your food. Which makes it one of the easiest birds to photograph - provided you cared to carry that long lens up the mountain.
The gray heron, also called heron, is a bird of the order Pelecaniformes. It is widespread and common in Eurasia and Africa. There are four subspecies worldwide. It is represented in Central Europe with the nominate form Ardea cinerea cinerea. Final photo on a side bank of the Rhine.
Gray casually sauntered over to us while we were exploring the Strathcona neighbourhood yesterday. He graciously accepted some pets and then while moseying among the ferns, he stopped and artfully posed for my camera.
It was a perfect walk, long but not arduous, lots of interesting scenery, one charming cat, a few dogs in windows and on porches, a few chats with passersby, a stop for coffee and a pastry at a charming spot where we met more people and a dog named Einstein,
a back alley with a laden clothesline and rustic garages, beautiful old tall trees lining the streets, very little traffic, only bicycles and strollers, balmy weather and a public bathroom in a park at the end, can't ask for anything more, it was perfection.
Here's another bird I see at Point Reyes, usually several times per visit. The male version of the Northern Harrier, also nicknamed the Gray Ghost, silently appearing out of nowhere. They tease me. They fly in front of my vehicle. They land in back light. This one was just late afternoon, pretty far away.
No matter how many times I visit a place I have found that no two trips are the same. Earlier this month in Costa Rica was no different. On this trip one thing that really stood out for me was how many Gray-crowned Yellowthroats we saw and just how very cooperative they were. I’m not sure what exactly was different this time but I sure enjoyed all the yellowthroats.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...
