Find The Rattlesnake!

Cleverly disguised, this rattler is outside NM Bill's gate in New Mexico!

Hawk Takes A Bath


Last Friday's hawk returned to my feed station and after looking around, took a bath!
While he bathed, a pesky Bluejay kept dive-bombing him trying to chase him away.
But when he finished his bath, he went after the jay and chased him far away.

Waiting for Dinner

"Where's my waitress?"
This handsome hawk is sitting in my bird feeder apparently waiting for some unsuspecting prey.
I've never seen one get this close. Usually they're up in a nearby tree.
But, lucky for my little regulars, no one ended up being first course.

Dead Bug

I have no words.
Thanks, Bill.
But, now that I think about it, it looks like he saw one of his relatives
 in the dictionary and passed out.

Bird Wednesday

This little House Wren is back again.
She's singing her heart out.
It's hard to imagine that such a tiny bird can sing so loud!

Bird Tuesday

White Crowned Sparrow looking out.
There seems to be an entire "family" of them at Rest Stop Gianni.
I've counted a dozen or so at one time!

"Today Is A Day That Is Filled With Surprises..."

"... Nobody knows what's going to happen..."
(If you're old enough to know,
that's a lyric from the Mickey Mouse Club)
"You might see an elephant walking on the moon..."

Or in this case in a delivery truck, spotted by Mike L. in Texas!
It's actually painted on the side of the truck.

Birds Of Paradise

Watch this fascinating video produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology on You Tube!

Strange behavior by exotic birds found only in the Rain Forests of New Guinea.

Lady Cardinal Waiting Her Turn

This pretty lady basks in yesterday's sunshine
while she waits for a turn at the bird feeder.

Seeing Eye Driver

"They're looking left, they're looking right,
they're not texting, they're not tweeting - no sir!
They're even breaking for squirrels."

Anyone remember "Toonces the driving cat" on SNL?
