Since putting new seeds out we have had several birds coming around that we haven't seen for a while. This Mockingbird made a quick stop at the feeder this morning.
Talking about quick, the Chickadee is the fastest one out there. He swoops in, chants his little song, grabs one sunflower seed and he is gone in two seconds! Most of the pictures I shot was either of him leaving or else just a picture of where he had been!!
The Cardinals are coming back and they are still motley looking from molting. Hopefully, they will soon have their winter feathers!
We still have lots of butterflies...mostly these Gulf Fritillaries.
I think these are beautiful, although the pink and orange sort of clash!
And a few of these pretty black and blue ones.
I threw out some left over cornbread crumbled for the birds.
This must be a neighbor's cat. When it tried to eat the crumbs, he found out there were ants already there.
He kept slapping at the bread to remove the ants!
About that time, he heard the clicking of the camera.
He reminds me of a kitty we had a long time ago.
Just when it was almost dark, I spotted this Armadillo scurrying around out by the woods. This is the same Armadillo I photographed in September. I could tell by that scar on his back section of armor and the little nick in his ear. I guess he lives in the woods behind our house and he's the one who digs up the yard and flower beds! Is there an open season on these pests??
