Coming in

And looking around

This one is better!

This one?

Surveying the bounty

This is the BEST one!

HAPPY EASTER

Both children are very dressed up - I wonder if it was Easter Sunday?

What is Ajax watching?

A clue is the poop by her tail.

Can you see it?

Head popped up. It's a female turkey.

She's been hanging out the past two or three days.

Someone else is watching.

All the birds flew off when it flew in.

A Cooper's Hawk.

Spring is here.

A Mallard couple came for a visit.

He is in love!

They paid no attention to Ajax.

Wandered all over.

She's a beauty.

And he is smitten.
