I think it's a Ruby-crowned Kinglet!

And we have chickadees too.

A Black-capped Chickadee

Chestnut-backed Chickadee

Sunday's Hummers

Dull and bright.

I think I may be down to just two female Anna's.

Dull against a dull sky.

And bright!

Happy Sunday

Saturday's Critters

Who's out there?

This squirrel.

Not a Western Gray, as it has brown ears and belly. 

I think this guy may be an invasion Fox Squirrel.

Here's a Western Gray for comparison.

It belong here!

There are three bucks around now.

This is the two point buck. 

He's somewhat mellow and will come up on the patio for peanuts.

 

A handsome guy.

This is one of the 2 four point bucks.

The four points have been harassing the does and chasing each other.

Typical male behavior.

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!

The does don't seem to mind.

They are hanging out in the pouring rain.

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.
