There are lots of wonderful animals at The Piggery Cafe in Sassafras including two pet pigs called Bubble and Squeak . . . not sure which one this sleepy is!
Today I saw Squeak at the bird bath for the first time. He/she was just about to take a nice sip of water.

Seen and captured on the Isle of Skye while heading for the little village Torrin. A totally mesmerizing and stunning lanscape and mood ... just love it.
Actually almost killed ourselves ... driving by car - beholding the tree - and then quite instantly deciding that this needs to be photographed ... squeaking tires :-)

So... After a breezy day on the levels, with woodpeckers, sun and showers, I went on an owl hunt, parking up to see if the pair that were on the wing last night came out again around the same time... I gave them an hour or so but no show, so I popped over to see another owl that's been an early bird in the past. She was out hunting already, but really struggling with the wind, which had picked up by then. I watched her for an hour or so, but she didn't make a kill...
Wood Ducklings (a.k.a. Carolina Duck; Aix sponsa) fresh out of the tree - Suburban New Jersey, 25 miles west of "The City" (NYC)
I was sitting on the back stairs when I saw a small bird on the ground moving in a strange way that made me think it was a Woodcock. But then when I looked at it through my binoculars, gees Louise, it was a duck!
It seemed it must have hatched later than its siblings, and was following the rest of the hatch (that were calling out to it and/or their absentee parents) downhill to a little stream at the bottom of the grade. I ran to get my 6, but by the time I got it together the little troop was within 50 feet of the stream where I managed to get a half dozen captures before they disappeared into a 3 foot drain pipe where the stream went under a road.
All in all an exciting 15 minutes!
Who knew there were Wood Ducks nesting right in my own back yard 100 - 200 yards from a little stream on the edge of my neighbor's property?
Guess Where Group: This should be easy to guess - and I do hope someone is quick, because I've got other stuff from the same place!

I got him recently at the toy show :)
A native squirrel, for our region, not very common. He comes when I call, Squeaky. This little guy is very brave and bossy, scaring away other squirrels twice his size. Non stop high pitched squeaking when getting breakfast. He has become a pet. He will come up to me and hangs out while I'm there, knowing he's safe.
Everyone came out for breakfast:
1 Dove
3 black squirrels
2 grey squirrels
1 blue jay
10 or so black capped chickadees
6 + finches
1 grosbeak
and of course sir squeaks alot, a little ground squirrel of some kind.
Mercury wasn't sure if he was allowed to have his squeaky toy outside. I've never heard him squeak so tentatively.

Our resident Long tailed wood mouse. I was sitting 4 feet away and he really doesnt seem to mind :)
135/365 (3,818)
This is Squeak and he is now 10 years old.
He turns up every morning, and throughout the day, and sits on the water butt outside the kitchen window ... waiting for whatever food the cats have left.
I didn't have any treats for Ivy, so I used a squeak toy to maintain her attention. She'd just finished a walk and was feeling energized. I take her out for 1.5 miles every day while her owners are away. She's an odd mix of many breeds, most notably cattle dog and Maltese.
Bubble and Squeak is a British dish made from cooked potatoes and cabbage, mixed together and fried.
Here is another shot of Squeak at the bird bath, after I took this photo, he/she took a quick dip, I guess tasting the waters, he was watching his parents taking a splash earlier, so he through he would try.

I always look around to see if I can find something for them to sit in for a photo and I found this lovely candle which is half way burnt down. They seem quite happy in there.
Homer lives just below the weather vane. His family lives in the rest of the house. Homer loves the sound of the vane squeak as it changes direction. The sound covers the noises of the other members of his family. Homer can't stand to hear other people chew or cough. It's a little weird, but, it works for Homer unless the wind stops blowing and then Homer freaks.
