Faunascrolling--what's visiting where you are?

American eagle in my friend's yard, just a few blocks away. Not a super great video, bird can be seen a bit better if you're full screen on a laptop or monitor.

An eagle in the garden. So jealous!

Just realized I should have posted this here. Yesterday was an unexpectedly warm day. This guy was out, and another just like him.

Likewise, warm day produces insects. This fella was on the wall at PetSmart! A conehead katydid.

@Piano-Dad Interesting. I thought all katydids were green.

I love higher order insects.

We have a pair of mourning doves who seem to have taken up residence in our backyard! I keep seeing them in the bird bath. If I have a chance I'll upload the video from my bird bath camera....

The robins are back. They've actually been here for a few weeks. They looked totally confused by the snow we had mid-March. Woodpeckers galore, too. Their hammering mating calls are a welcome sound when I'm out working in the yard.

We keep our back door open at night [yeah, totally not safe in the 17th largest Metro (trivia: was 25th when I graduated from HD)-- in fact, I wouldn't do it, but RM opens it every time I lock it; I couldn't fall asleep for a minute and he'd have it open, so I gave up.]

So, I do get a cross breeze (having a single window in my bedroom, and better air quality.

Anyway, although they'll be a lot more later, now for some reason, I always have 1 mosquito buzzing around me and 1 small moth flapping its wings somewhere in my room at night.

It's mildly annoying. I'll have multiple mosquito bites daily soon enough. This will be more than annoying but not the end of the world.

We have urban coyotes in our neighborhood. This one was in our back yard a couple weeks ago. It’s on its way out the side gate.

Visiting us for 6-9 months, he's a bit edgy despite being called Poppy. Not let me touch so far
