The Odd-eyed Cat was peeking from inside a small bush in our backyard. I believe it was searching for breakfast and not cat food. As is usually my custom, I went out to check for birds, butterflies, or dragonflies. This white smoke-like image caught my eye. The cat's tail was incredibly long and fluffy. It was fun to get three or four images before it bounded over the fence and out of sight. When viewing the photographs I realized it had two different colors of eyes. This condition is known as Heterochromia. I, not the birds, would like for the cat to make a return visit.

This Darter has got to have the oddest, creepiest 'smile' ever ^^

Not 100% sure with the ID Help appreciated on that :)

Odd couple thats you and me

Odd couple we're different,

you and me.

I photographed this bird a few years back and am still not convinced of its identity. My thoughts are it is an odd Orange-crowned Warbler. It was photographed along Elk Slough, Yolo County. If anyone wants to share thoughts, let me know.

"I'm tellin' you guys, he's not one of us!"------"Aw, leave him alone, Charlie! I mean, he IS a bird, after all!"

Hanging out with the big boys. A sizable size and appearance between the Canada Goose on the left and the smaller Greater White Fronted Goose on the right.

can you spot it? for this weeks macro Mondays theme.

Having a teasel in my brush jug stops my grandson (and other members of the family) from borrowing my brushes - It's a reminder that I'm prickly about sharing them!

This is a re-edit of an earlier photo. I think the colour in it wasn't really good, so the b+w treatment might be better. My mum also gave her opinion, and felt there should be less water and more emphasis given to the mountains. I'll see if she is right :p

in several cities worldwide there is this custom where lovers put a padlock with their names on a bridge or fence or whatever there is and throw away the key to seal their love. when odd heard about this custom, he said he HAD to go there and look at all the lover's locks so i took him there. man, was he disappointed when he found out i had forgotten to buy him a lock of his own! he wanted to put one there for his mommy. he was furious, saying he'd lock himself onto the fence and what not. poor little fellow :(

I didn't know that there's a club for Odd people

Odd Duck is still around on the north side of Mill Lake at the parking lot. It is hanging with the Mallards but seems to be more tame than wild. Likely some kind of a hybrid, or someone's pet.

Quite a few butterflies were seen as we slowly made our way back from the bottom of Garni gorge to the village of Garni high above it.

This was a new species to me on this trip. I saw few of them but there were several in this area.

This was taken at the pumpkin patch near my sister's house during my visit a couple weekend's ago. Somehow I think this gourd ended up in the wrong spot!

odd - surprising

Someone is glad that the semester is over and winter break has begun! It is a little odd to see a pink bunny decoration in December! HSfS

Good morning everyone. Just two quick pics of two odd male Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) I photographed coincidently on the same day.

First up is the above male with a slight problem. While baldness can often be the result the molting process it may also result from feather mites, lice, or an environmental or nutritional factor. Often in these cases, there is evidence of growths or a scabby coating on the skin. Northern Cardinals have black skin, and a different color skin on the head of a bald-headed bird as seen above would indicate an ailment. Which appears to be the case with this bird unfortunately, but otherwise it seemed perfectly fine.

As for the second odd male, a pic of it can be found in the comment section and my stream. Fortunately it doesn't have an ailment, but a condition known as Leucism. Which I describe in the caption under the photo in my stream.

Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

A trip to Otmoor, Oxfordshire mid October hopefully catch a view of one of my favourite birds. That bird will eventually show at the end of the afternoon.
