Trail Camera

It could be a size dominance thing too...

Not sure. I always consider cardinals fairly territorial, but the little birds come freely when the cardinals are in the birdbath. Not so Bully Robin.

Well, there is definitely a pecking order (pun intended) among birds. Size is a factor I'm sure, but not always. In my yard, nothing messes with the Blue Jays, except the crows. They are the biggest bullies of all. They even harass the hawks.

Well, that's just Blue Jays being Blue Jays.

A few different little birds. I have a hard time identifying them in my bird book. Maybe migrating. A pretty picture of a cardinal and some little birds splashing. Raccoon, opposum, skunk, and fox nightly cruisers.

Good ones! Amazing the trail camera even picked up the water droplet spray!!!

When my mother in law was alive she would always gift me with subscriptions to the magazine Birds & Blooms. Between this sweet thread and your garden thread it has brought back those good memories!

I like to look at that magazine. And I used to be in a bird group, but I got a little tired of the professional photos. I think the trail camera is more interesting. Some good shots of the horses drinking and dribbling, but I deleted them by mistake.

If you ever need birds identified, please send them to me! I'm a birdwatcher and would love to help you.

Okay, bird folk, look what the camera picked up this week in the bird bath. Are these cedar wax wings? And what is the pretty, single bird?

Just found this fun thread, the second picture looks like a bear

Yup, a group of Cedar Waxwings. The lone bird is a Say's Phoebe.

I've heard of phoebes but was not familiar with how they look.

Dapper Dan enjoying a refreshing drink at the bird bath after returning from a frolic in the back 40.

Well, the worst happened. We had an area in the back yard rooted up and it looked too intense to be an armadillo. Our worst fears showed up on the camera.

One of those creatures (unwelcome guests) that doesn't leave your place the way they found it!

Oh my gosh. Is that a boar?

 

[Marsha Cassada]

Unfortunately we think it is a sow.

Check out the eyes. Wonder what that is? Something watching the deer??

 

[Abby P]

To me that looks like another deer - the eyes are far apart and I can see a deer-shaped outline and an ear, I think! If it's not another deer it's awfully big, yikes!

Same, either that or Bigfoot!
