I have to download videos and/or photos from my Birdfy cam....lots of birds coming to bathe in the wtg yard!!

Hopefully I'll post them later tonight....

We usually have a lot of titmice. Not sure where they’ve been lately.

@wtg is there a fountain? How do you keep mosquitoes away?

[wtg]

@rustyfingers I change the water twice a day.

We got our first ever Brown Thrasher this morning.

I had to go out to close the shed door which I'd left open this afternoon and, more importantly, fetch the bottle of wine that I left in the car from shopping yesterday. Flipped on the lights for the deck and there were three raccoons cautiously edging their way towards the bird feeding area. Aw. I interrupted their supper. I made sure to shut the lights as soon as I got back in so they can have a nosh.

Relocated two of these from my garage floor today. Pic from internet, not mine...

One of these peacock butterflies in our garden today

I'm pretty sure I could have seen this and died happy.

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

'You're outgrowing your moderator throne. I think you need a bigger one.'

Lots of spiders around. I love their webs

[rustyfingers]

That's so cool

[Bernard]

@AndyD Gorgeous webs!

choochiefingers and I had a day trip to Rockport, MA for an independent bookstore scavenger hunt. We had lunch at a restaurant with a view and were treated to the antics of this family of female and juvenile wood ducks.

Back to pix from the wildlife refuge--I think this little guy is a swamp sparrow. New to me.
