It seemed very odd to sign off on this small and date it with 2016. There's no stopping time I guess!
We've had lots of dull foggy days, but when the sun deigns to shine, the Hufflepuffs are outside getting their vitamin D!
This small Sharp-shinned Hawk has been hanging around the past few days.
I like this photo of the Sapsucker hard at work while the red squirrel goes about his business. On a large Douglas Fir tree there can be lots of activity!
Several years ago National Geographic made a collage of all the insects, birds, animals and plants that called a giant Sequoia home. Click here to take a look - it is rather amazing!
Most mornings I am greeted by a couple of Song Sparrows and a couple of these guys - Fox Sparrows.
I usually have several Towhees too.
On special mornings, there is a Red-breasted Nuthatch waiting for me.
What is a bird walking head first down a tree so darned amusing?
I've counted as many as 18 Juncos...
...and 14 Golden-crowned Sparrows.
My flock of Pine Siskins numbers 12.
And my California Quail covey has at least 42 members!
Most remarkably thus far in January was my sighting of a Turkey Vulture soaring overhead Sunday afternoon.
A sweet, little finish. I really, really like the sapsucker/squirrel picture.
ReplyDeleteIt is so amazing to see the variety of birds you have visit you. So different from those I see here! Love your cross stitch too.
