Barely saw him bc he blended in so well

I'll say! I can see walking right passed him! Or ON him!

 

[Oh Little Oji]

Most of the time he doesn't see them. Like today he just blew by this one. But I always know if he does see one bc he will be walking around and all of a sudden he will jump back really fast and keep a distance. It must be some 6th sense or built in instinct that they are dangerous.

This makes me think of something we saw on TV the other evening. There was a show that consisted of videos, and they were showing clip after clip of people sneakily setting down a zucchini or a cucumber next to unknowing cats. When the cats would notice the vegetable, they'd either freak out and shrink away, or jump three feet and bolt.

I know it's not the first Robin that's been here. I've heard them before today. But today on our walk was the first time I actually saw one.

The 1st Robin


Aaaaaand its gone.

Coyote is back, way too bold. This photo was taken from the porch on a super zoom through 2 fences. Reckless was on this side of the fence going nuts barking and jumping up & down. Coyote just stands & stares. Asha was in the house as we never let the two dogs out together unless we're out with them. This thing has a skinny pointy face like a coyote but a body & hair coat of a wolf-dog! Not happy about this visitor.

The season off love has arrived these ducks are from the park behind us, the males have decided the female will have to choose which will be its mate, they don't even move when we go out with King.

Those male ducks are a LOT more genteel about it than most of the ones we have here!

With the way thing have been the past few days, I was so delighted to find this guy drying his new wing this morning. And it's just the right color.

We've had the growing population of turkeys hanging out in our yard the last couple days. Considering we had never seen even one until 3 years ago, I'm happy they're reproducing and doing well.

Cool. What sub species do you have where you are?

I don't have a clue since they're fairly new to this area.

Great photo @JanS - we have lots of turkey here. Before we fenced about 6 - 7 acres around the house, they'd come right up to the house & I could throw corn to them. LOL hunting season, they'd disappear. After we fenced, they go around, we can hear them on the creek bed some mornings,

This duck flew over from the pond in the back of the neighborhood. First time I have ever seen one in our back yard. Skynyrd was going crazy!

Hubby has to keep chasing the toms away from the window since they see their reflection and start pecking at it hard. LOL

Wow! Trying to balance on a wire with webbed feet!

 

[Ravenbird]

I think Skynyrd is thinking same as me: "I've never in my life seen a duck on a high line!"

It's a strange new world we live in. I don't think I ever saw Daffy or Donald do that.

There was another duck that flew in with that one in the neighbors yard. It was having a hard time balancing on the line. The whole line was moving up and down everytime the duck moved! Lol

 

[JanS]

Look at me ladies....

 

[PhilT]

Haven't seen these ducks on this lake before, we think they are Swedish Blues.

I get a kick out of the turkeys every day.
