The Crow Trio has been showing up most mornings.

They now wait around for me to come out and toss them a wildlife mix of corn and peanuts.

Anything they leave behind the Steller's Jays polish up.

Sunday's Hummers

 So most of the photos are of the male Anna's

Here he is.

Several times in the past couple of days, my Merlin app has said I have a Rufous Hummingbird, but I've not seen one.

Still, changes are happening.

A female Anna's is gathering nesting material!

Saturday's Critters

Well... 

I had a few deer.

But was most excited to see this guy.

He's not much bigger than a chipmunk.

Our native Douglas Squirrel.

Size comparison...

...with a Wester Gray Squirrel.

They look monstrously huge in comparison.

There were 2 Grays hanging out too...

...but this little guy did not cede any ground.

Good to see you!
