Living at the edge of town...fields in every direction

Come November.......the bucks in rut come in the yard after dark

Fight & thrash every tree/shrub in the yard

Have to fence off the ones I wanna save....

We do have an occasional winter mountain lion sneak around...no pics yet

Found this when moving garbage can to mow . Haven't seen one in years . Garter snake ?

Song Sparrow (?) taking a break . This was yesterday .

Yesterday afternoon . Can see one in the pine getting ready to call it a day . Watched over 20 fly well over the length of a football field into the white pines .

 

[odie]

From yesterday . Pictures a bit blurry due to zooming in . These are 2 young bucks that have been visiting this past week . Have their velvet .

 

[odie]

They're back . Earlier .

Eastern Bluebird ? Female or male ? Few hours old . If so , haven't seen one for many years until today .

 

[odie]

Took this earlier of a male BLUEBIRD in tree ( ZOOM in ) . I think the pictures above are the female . Also believe their fledgling has been landing on the corner of the deck railing . Feathers haven't fully developed . Hope the male can be found in the photo . Haven't seen BLUEBIRDS on the property for over 10 years until Thursday in the pictures above .

This is from earlier through dual pane window in kitchen . Gray CATBIRD on corner of deck railing .

FLYCATCHER to the left and the possibly a fledgling BLUEBIRD to the right . There looks to be BLUE feathers on the wing and tail . A small amount of Brownish Orange is on the part of the chest like that of an adult BLUEBIRD . Took these yesterday .

 

[odie]

I think these bucks could be siblings . See them regularly . Was on riding mower and they stuck around for 10+ minutes . These pics are from last night .

 

[odie]

Yesterday evening . Can see more BLUE on the edge of its wings and whole tail when zooming in on the fledgeling . Most likely young Bluebird . Pals around with Flycatchers and Catbirds .

While finishing clearing leaves from the back yard at dusk last week, I looked over at the back gate and saw I had an unusual visitor, which looks like a barred owl :
