Birdland

I'm astonished by the number of birds that hang out here...

...despite the ever-present feral beast.



Between the swallows, the curve-billed thrashers, the doves, the ravens, and
who knows what else, the Audubon Society could set up shop and sell tickets.



The feral beast has a front-row seat on the action...



...but the birds are clever enough to keep their distance.












Watching all this activity can be exhausting.

  1. Hahahaha! Thank you for putting a really big smile on my face at 5:53 in the morning. I had a total sour puss frown before seeing that sweet kitty stretching out. Have a great day!

  3. Hope he recovers! He is a beautiful boy. Good thing he has you to publicize him as he's sure he deserves.

  4. What a handsome little guy. And so patient with you. If I point a camera at my kitty she speeds away.

  6. A steady supply of water wins over any threat from the feral beast.

  10. Love the swallows! Had some here for a season, but then had barn owls move in. They were neat, too, but chased the swallows out. :-(

  13. My ginger kitty used to do frustrated little 'mow's of frustration, but these days he is too fat, old and lazy to care, and that's fine by me. I'd rather have safe birds. :)
