Backyard Critters

Posted on by

There were three of these Harris’s Antelope Squirrels running around our backyard yesterday. They were chasing each other around. It didn’t look like it was friendly either. More of a “this is my territory so get lost” kind of look.

I skipped a day of putting out birdseed, so the birds (and squirrels) went wild when I put out a birdseed block yesterday.

Here are a few photos from the backyard yesterday:

A House Sparrow at the birdbath.

A female Gambel’s Quail on a bench.

A male Gambel’s Quail walking to the birdseed block.

A bunch of quail attacking the birdseed block.

A Mourning Dove jumped into the birdbath and made a splash.

One more look at the House Sparrow.

Birds and a Chipmunk

Red looking majestic in our backyard tree.

Now that I’m back home and have my camera, I’ve been taking photos when something interesting pops up in my backyard. From my cardinal couple, quail, finches and roadrunner, there’s been lots of action. Throw in a few chipmunks and I’ve taken a lot of pictures!

I’m impressed with this chipmunk’s balance on two legs.

I think this sweet bird is a female house finch?

This roadrunner actually laid down in our yard, waiting for prey. He had his eye on the chipmunk but left without any luck.

Red found himself fending off quail to get a bite of birdseed.

Another shot of the roadrunner. Isn’t he beautiful?

Do you have a favorite of my backyard buddy pics? If so, which one?

Sunset and Sunrise Season

This is a sunset view from my driveway earlier this week. I took this photo with my iphone.

This photo I took with my Nikon as rain was beginning to sprinkle.

I’m posting photos to celebrate the end of the election. I will be so thankful to never hear another ad for years. Living in a battleground state, it’s been unbearable. It doesn’t matter if my candidates won or lost, or when we’ll find out. I’m just glad it’s over!

Sunday we had clouds, rain, thunder and lightening. The sunsets have been spectacular! The sunrises are gorgeous too. Now the sky is bright blue. Everything looks washed clean and sparkling.

Look at that blue sky!

Sunrise in our back yard.

One more sunset photo. This one is from my husband’s iphone a year ago.

Are you happy the election is over?
