Steller's Jay

And another one

And yet another one.

I see 8-12 each morning.

Love the bright blue eyebrows.

Another pop of color.

A pair of Lesser Goldfinches.

Wednesday's Walk

Let's Go!  

Maybe we can beat the rain.

Still have a pop of autumn color.

Carpet of oak leaves

Some leaves are still hanging on

Acorns and oak galls

Ash

The smallest creek is zooming along

Blackberry

Willow

Cootonwood

The banks of Big Creek have gotten so overgrown, it's hard to see the creek. 

One more try!

Up in the air!

I got to see a pretty large flock of crows.

They were headed into town. 

I call them Commuting Crows.

Closer at hand...

I had a male Flicker drop by.

Nice to see.

Sunday's Hummers

No photos of the male Anna's this week.

 

All females...

All the time

Love the background colors for this series.

Hope you have a pleasant Sunday.

Saturday's Critters

 
Just deer this week.

Coming up to have a snack

Peanuts!

Two happy does.

Now they're on the move.

Why?

Why? This muscular, grunting guy is why.  

He's mission-focused.

They're in his sights.

Ah, love is grand!

Not much woodpecker activity as of late.

So it was nice to see a male Hairy Woodpecker fly in.

He looks thoughtful.

Eventually he found the Bark Butter.

And that's what's for breakfast.

Thanks for dropping by.
