Faunascrolling--what's visiting where you are?

[AndyD]

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.

I thought houndiepaws (dog #2) was going to go right through the closed kitchen window when our resident garden bunny taunted her yesterday.

You don't have any Grosbeaks?

[rustyfingers]

Cool bird. I've heard them but only seen one at a distance.

Saw my first Monarch of the year today. No picture.

[Mik]

They stop here while migrating up to around where Steve lives. Wonderful birds. We get some traveling Orioles too.

[rustyfingers]

We get the avian kind. Again, I hear them all the time but never see them. (Sense a pattern?) We thought we were putting oranges out for them, but those seem to be for the squirrels instead.

I saw a Baltimore Oriole here twice, four years ago. It was the same year the Indigo Buntings showed up at the feeder. It was right after some large swath of trees were cut down along the brook across the street. I suspect they were displaced, hence why I saw them.
Not a very good picture:

@Mik Rose Breasted Grosbeaks make regular appearances at my feeders. As do Evening Grosbeaks. Very pretty song.

[rustyfingers]

We just added a nijer feeder and the bird cam captured RATS last night. We will be taking down the feeders.
