We’ve had more American Goldfinches stop by. We can’t decide if any of these are the males, but either way, they’re beautiful to watch. And they get along well with everyone else …
I’m pretty sure raccoons aren’t supposed to be out during the day. After an apparently long night out, these 2 were just heading home, which is through my yard, at 8am this morning … 🦝 🦝
The January full Wolf Moon. With a cool snap of the moon being photobombed by an airplane … 🌕 ✈️

I bought a dozen of these. So, any next kids born, besides the Birthday Pez, you’re getting one of these … 👶 🍼
More female American Goldfinches have been coming by. Had about 3 or 4 at the same time. They were even feeding each other, or fighting. who can really tell. Still waiting for the male to make his entrance …

This Cooper’s Hawk slammed into our backyard sliding glass door window, while going after a Mourning dove. Beginning is full speed, last half is 1/8 speed. I can’t be sure, but it kinda looks like he might be carrying something away …

Is it a Golden-crowned or Rub-crowned Kinglet ??? Surprised to see either at PCP, but I’m leaning towards Golden, cause it would be cooler …
Shooting pool with my Gomies. They’re still good, and Johnny FjL got his stick back. And JjLjR has really perty nails … 🎱
This years Christmas Pez dispenser is a new Gingerbread man. Except this one has caused some controversy. Controversy is so easy to find. Anywho, this dispenser was designed to represent a bite taken out of the top side of his head, and a mouth opened in surprise. Unfortunately […]
