Just saw a fox in the back. I've got a dead tree with a hole and I put peanuts in the hole at night and often a flying squirrel comes right down for them. Fascinating to watch them.

Looks like it's going to be a bumper year for Killdeer hatches. Little hen already set four, hatched four, and they've all made it thru the last month. Now five in a clutch, same hen same nest.

Had a flight of cedar waxwings take a break in the top of our bald cypress tree, today.

The white one is very different, OW. Where are you located, sir?
He's not an albino as i see dark eyes. He must be genetically predisposed to white pigmentation?

I'm in Trenton about 30 miles north of western Cincy. About a mile south there is a colony of melanistic blacks and leucistic whites. Somehting to see when the'y're all together. There's a group at the house that all have white ears, and agee with white feet as wellThey're free range so there you go. Did have a true albino couple weeks ago.

That is very cool, OW.
Would love to get close to them with my 35mm Cannon. Too far for my old arse to drive, though. 🤙

Probably had a dozen bluejays in Feb/ March but we're down to a single pair now---- beautiful birds.

The male was displaying like a Turkey, wish I could've gotten a better pic.
Good luck and enjoy !
