Faunascrolling--what's visiting where you are?

[AndyD]

Oh yes.
You all realise when you post about a bird it's exotic to me! Even chickadee, which are like our tit family.

I'm loving all these beautiful sightings and pictures. I saw a deer the other day, which is quite rare here on my property. In the years I've been here I've only seen them 2 or 3 times. Didn't have my camera handy, though.

Black-capped chickadee

Many years ago we spotted this little gem in a gift shop. Created by a skilled woodworker. Everything looks so real - the feathers, the legs, and the feet. We love it.

@rustyfingers One of my favorite birds. They are just so sweet! And I love their little dove strut...

And the way their wings whistle...

Our home is constantly under assault from fauna terrorists. The woodpeckers go after our siding, deer eat our plants, chipmunks and mice try to get in, raccoons think tearing up our hummingbird feeders to get the sugar water is fun, moles love tearing up the front yard and we have a bat that likes to hang under our back door and crap on the deck.

Bring back DDT.

Sounds idyllic

I feel the same way about bunnies

A rare sight on my property. I've seen her a few times in the past week.

No picture, but there was a coyote this morning at about 9 am, on the hilly back yard of the neighbor across the street. Lots of yipping. The two dogs next door were having quite an issue with the yipping.

Do bugs count?

These are “Canadian Soldiers”. They come up from the lake every year when the water gets warm enough, land on something, and die a few days later.

I didn't get a picture of it, but today while wandering the Greensprings Trail I saw a prothonotary warbler!

Lovely colours in US birds.
We get lots of Collared Doves

And Wood Pigeons

They were only there briefly but I saw one of these goldfinches in the birdbath: (internet pic)

and on the other side of the birdbath was one of these, a male cardinal:

I don't have a lot of color in my shade garden, but the birds help make up for it!

Looks like he's been spray painted Amazing red. We have nothing like that; our birds tend to have small patches of colour. I can think of only a handful that are bright... kingfisher, yellowhammer, ring necked parakeet and (rare) golden oriole.
