British Goldfinch. They're always twittering overhead, today one landed on our aerial long enough for a snap

[Mik]

Looked them up... beautiful! The North American ones I have look like this.

What does your aerial do? Doesn’t look like the ones for TV to me. FM?

It gets terrestrial/freeview TV.
I ended our Sky satellite sub so we're using the old aerials plus free digital channels through the sky broadband.
We have two...

Trained onto local transmitters

That is so very like our Song Thrush which perches top of a tree to sing

This little guy has made a little hollow under my red twig dogwood. He likes snipping off the stems of plants and leaving them without eating them. So, you know, basically an a$$hole. Good thing he's cute.

We have lots of bunnies roaming through the neighborhood, and the back yard. I’ve named them all Mr. Bun. Doesn’t matter if it’s male or female; I can’t tell. Hello Mr. Bun!

Do I count as fauna?

[Mik]

There's a good joke there somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it.

Texas spotted whiptail seen in Bandelier.

This chipmunk in the red twig dogwood had his eye on me for awhile.

We went for a hike on the West Circle trail in the Hyde Memorial State Park a couple of miles north of our house in Santa Fe. Back at the ranger station, a group of Flycatchers were doing their thing. At first they were a bit stand-offish, but as they got used to me they came closer. That, plus a 300mm telephoto ...

poignant.

Had a concert from this redwing blackbird at our favorite ice cream place

A small toad has taken residence in the back yard and is driving the dog insane. He’s too quick to get a picture of.

Birds are mostly Robins and red-wing blackbirds -very nice. Unfortunately they appear to be feeding at someone’s bird feeder and have distributed Amaranth all over the property. Tough stuff - gonna take a while to get rid of it.
