Piggy Scrub Jay
This scrub Jay has 4 peanuts in his mouth at once. I am not sure how he is going to eat them or if he is just going to haul them away to a nest or something. It is spring so I hope he is going to share with his sweetie and maybe some babies.

Bird in Pecan tree.jpg
This bird was singing the most beautiful song I have ever heard from a bird. He was up in the Pecan tree singing his heart out for a very long time.

Bird Watching Mocha
This is Mocha my cat. She spends most of her day laying by the window watching the many birds attracted to the feeders that I keep filled with assorted goodies. This day she was really excited so she stood on the back of a chair on her tippy toes to get a better look.

The Baby Hawk
This baby hawk flew down and landed on the fence by the pool. I was so excited to see it this close. I knew there had been one hatched on my property recently but this was the closest I had gotten to it. I grabbed my camera and then the most amazing thing started to happen. This gutsy little mockingbird starts to attach the hawk and won't give up. She bites him and bashes into him and grabs him with her feet by he just sits there and takes it. The photos are not great but no prep, no tripod and a very anxious photog. Oh well, hope to get another chance to at least capture the hawk close up.

Creamer Shadows
Just as I was getting ready to shut off the lights and go to bed I noticed the shadows of my collection of lonely little creamers that don't have a sugar bowl friend. I was intrigued and scurried away after my camera. I had never noticed it before although I am sure it was there.

Fun With Grandma
Conner was over and we had soooo much fun building this big log cabin with attached garage. We had to have a garage door and also a sign that was proudly devised by a four year old. Who cares what the words say???

One leg pete
This is a bird the frequents my feeders he is active and healthy and doesn't even seem to notice that he only has one leg. Doesn't seem to be much of a disadvantage.

Bird watching
This is Mocha's favorite spot. She loves to watch the birds. They don't seem to even know she is there.
