Caching is an innate behaviour that many animals exhibit and involves hiding food for later retrieval, like us stocking a cupboard with food. By “Squirreling away” acorns and other nuts, Squirrels ensure a supply of food throughout the hard winter months. When burying food items they have been seen to “fake cache” if they think they are being watched by rivals.
This pretending to deposit food must help to confuse potential thieves and preserve their precious stocks.
Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.

The Refuse Retrieval Rover. Just because they are the bad guys doesn't mean they have to be the messy guys
The aftermath of the posts of the past two days was a valiant struggle on the part of the striped mullet, possibly assisted by a submerged cormorant that surfaced as the Osprey gained control, and finally a successful retrieval of the fish from Horsepen Bayou.

The rest of the story--Green Heron returning to its fishing pier on Armand Bayou with menhaden in beak.
This adult female Peregrine is trying to retrieve a dead pigeon from the canal; seconds ago one of the three juveniles, who had the pigeon, lost her grip and dropped the pigeon in water while flying over the canal. The juvenile didn't know what to do other than circling over when the mother came along and tried three times to pick the pigeon up from the water. She managed to lift up the pigeon once but lost it soon afterwards. Either she didn't have a good grip due to choppy water or the pigeon became too heavy from absorbing water in its feathers. I am sure that the mother Peregrine gave a stern lecture to the youngster afterwards. Note that the day before she did retrieve a live pigeon from water that she stunned by dive bombing it. Most often it is the female that could kill and carry a large prey such as a pigeon. I haven't seen a male doing it yet. Burlington, Ontario.
The set was made, and the retrieval of the net, which has gathered into a purse of salmon. This set had a few fish, but missed the school of fish.

The original Swanage Pier was built between 1859 and 1861 for use primarily by the local stone quarrying industry, and included a tramway which ran the length of the pier and some way along the seafront. The old tracks can be seen to this day, inset into the seafront walkways.
When local businessman George Burt introduced regular steamer services between Swanage and nearby towns Poole and Bournemouth in 1874, a need became apparent for a second pier to be built primarily for use by passenger steamers. Construction on the new pier began in 1895, and by 1896 was first used by a steamer. The pier was officially opened for traffic in 1897. While regular steamer services ran on the new pier, up until 1966, the older original pier declined along with the stone industry it served some years earlier. Today all that remains of the old pier are some of the timber piles.
After steamer services discontinued in 1966 the remaining pleasure pier also began to fall into disrepair. After a failed attempt to restore the pier by a development firm in 1986, Swanage Pier Trust took over ownership of the pier in 1993.
The Trust took on the task of raising over £1,000,000 needed to carry out major restoration work on the piers piles and timbers and ironwork fittings.

Green Herons usually prefer a sniper attack on their unsuspecting prey from an overhanging branch or stump but occasionally, when the situation calls for it, they go all in. The payoff for this greenie was two gulf menhaden and cheers of approval from a lurking paparazzo. On Armand Bayou.

Trakai Island Castle (Lithuanian: Trakų salos pilis) is an island castle located in Trakai, Lithuania on an island in Lake Galvė. The castle is sometimes referred to as "Little Marienburg". The construction of the stone castle was begun in the 14th century by Kęstutis, and around 1409 major works were completed by his son Vytautas the Great, who died in this castle in 1430. Trakai was one of the main centres of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the castle held great strategic importance.Trakai Island Castle was built in several phases. During the first phase, in the second half of the 14th century, the castle was constructed on the largest of three lake islands by the order of Grand Duke Kęstutis. The construction of Trakai Island Castle was related to the expansion and strengthening of the Trakai Peninsula Castle. Kęstutis moved his main residence and his treasury to the Island Castle.
The castle suffered major devastation during an attack by the Teutonic Knights in 1377. After the assassination of Kęstutis, a power struggle between Jogaila and Vytautas the Great for the title of Grand Duke of Lithuania began. The castle was besieged by both sides. Soon after the reconciliation between Jogaila and Vytautas, the second phase of construction started and continued until 1409. This phase is regarded as the major development in the history of the castle. Apparently, during the truce with the Teutonic Order, the construction works were supervised by the Order's stonemason Radike, four years before the Battle of Grunwald.

You can see how the California drought has effected the water line at Mono lake. Last time I was here much of this "beach" was under water.

Off for a bit this week having my flying saucer repaired. Brought the ship to Coyote, proprietor of Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in scenic Jacumba, California a small desert town along I-8.
Now you would think this qualifies for a title of Things That Make No Sense but somehow it was all pretty cool and I spent a bit of time talking to Coyote. He even gave me a couple of souvenir rocks with his artwork, he felt bad because his printer ran out of ink so he was out of stickers or he would have given me some. If you happen to see the Desert View Tower (it's on In-Ko-Pah Road off I-8) that's where you'll find Coyote, stop in and say hi.
Seemed only appropriate that with the application of some alien radiation Coyote got turned into a bit of Happy slider Sunday art!
Happy Slider Sunday and now you know where to go for all your flying saucer repairs!!
Fresno, Ca.
Hmmm, think I'll go for the "past life regression & soul retrieval." No telling what she might find. lol
And yes, here it comes, about to drop onto the "Snuffle Mat" for her retrieval. Took a few photos along these lines for Happy Caturday theme 2 Sept 2023, "Happy." Perhaps the emotion is a more multisyllabic one, like "expectant" or "anticipatory" or "delighted", but she was very glad to see that treat about to drop! And look at that face! If the photo had magically (because of the one handed phone wielding) been in good focus, it'd be a money shot. As it is, I just like it.
As for how long the emotion lasts, see comment...
"Snuffle Mat" procured from the Jackson Galaxy store, the intent being to allow cats to hunt for food or treats by going through the fibers. To work the best I'd have to hide them and let her hunt for them without knowing something was just dropped. Some day. She is happy to pull things out of the mat and it is of course washable.

Only the cutest bird ever... theTitmouse, small cheery-voiced nonmigratory woodland bird. Along with the chickadees, titmice make up the family Paridae (order Passeriformes), with approximately 55 species throughout the world, mostly in the Northern Hemisphere.
Bold and athletic, the titmice are among the best-loved visitors to bird feeders. Although they range in size from 11.5 to 20 cm (4.5 to 8 inches), most fall in the middle of this range (17 cm [6.5 inches]). Despite their small size, they are extremely athletic and hardy. Many live in the far north and are able to endure bitterly cold winters, in part thanks to their strategy of storing food in bark crevices or holes and remembering the locations for later retrieval. Special leg muscles enable them to hang upside down to feed, allowing them to feast on items such as insect eggs that might be missed by less-agile birds.

Coyote and Luna Color Version - Most of the time I would go with the B&W version but this happens to be one of those times where the color and B&W versions seem equally cool to me so I'll post them both.
Backstory - Coyote, proprietor of Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in scenic Jacumba, California a small desert town along I-8. He and Luna were very kind and allowed me to get a few pics of the yard. If you happen to see the Desert View Tower (it's on In-Ko-Pah Road off I-8) that's where you'll find Coyote, stop in and say hi. He might also give you a souvenir and maybe some stickers if he has any left!

Something to see while waiting to get ones flying saucer repaired by Coyote at Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs Service located in the desert along I-8 in scenic Jacumba, California.
If you make a wish and give a donation, the wish will come true. I wished for some good pics despite the high angle of the sun. Coyote was right and I think I got my wish!
WRT the Love Rocket, being mounted on a golf cart I think Coyote kind of rides on it during parades to impress the ladies...
