Our resident fox is a beauty.
.
.
Healthy, bright eyed and judging from this photo?
.
.
Possibly a momma.

Who likes to lie down while eating.

Six Baltimore Orioles stopping by for a brief time on their way to northern breeding grounds.
Put out oranges and grape jelly the first time you see one… then sit back and enjoy the bright orange show.

I fear I may have tripped a disturbing algorithm by clicking on those pole dancing mice a while back.
.
.
Now I’ve got a squirrel working the room for tips .
🥴

Be still my heart.
I don’t have all the ingredients yet so if you beat me to it, let me know how they turn out.

Required momma woodchuck photo.

This decanter is wrong in so many ways I don’t know where to start…
.
.
Pickle soup? Equally as wrong…
🤢
.
Bird food isn’t always for the birds.
.
Our beautiful fox shows up every day at dusk.
.
.
We think she has a den in our back woods.
.
.
And though I put special food out for her, every once in a while she steals the bread I put out for the birds.
.
.
Because everyone needs to carb load now and then.
.
.
😊
.
I think babies are in our future.
.
Don’t get excited, I’m not talking about me. That ship has sailed.
And burst into flames and sunk.
I’m talking about woodchucks, and from the look of our resident Momma…
.
.
I’d say baby chuck sightings are getting close.
.
.

Miscellaneous nonsense.
.
I saw this advertisement the other day and thought it was a marvelous way to raise money.
.
.
“Be kind to the flamingos”.
Words to live by.
.
.
Sometimes bad taxidermy is so bad it’s good.

We drove by this restaurant in Portland the other day, and while I’m no prude… I dislike advertisements, bumper stickers and political signs with crude language. If you’re wondering why eight year olds are responding “f*ck yeah!” to the question would you like a cookie?… here’s your answer.

Bluebird!
Eating at the snazzy new feeder we bought without a thought to how it would be covered in bird poo in 10 seconds flat.

Now that’s an interesting deal. Store your junk and get free frozen custard every week. With the amount of junk my spouse could store.. we’d have a freezer full in no time.
.
Momma chuck has kicked the kids to the curb.
.
A few weeks ago we had two young woodchucks fighting over food
.
.
Now?
.
.
Momma chuck is back and the fighting is over.
.
.
Matter of fact, since she’s arrived there’s no one to left to fight.
.
.
The teenagers have left the building…
.
.
And momma reigns supreme.
.
.
Excuse the noise of my dryer tumbling in the background.
.
A rare visitor.
.
It isn’t often we see a Pileated woodpecker at Casa River…
.
.
But this big guy flew in the other day and had a nosh on the suet nugget cage.
.
.
Pileateds usually stay in the woods and rarely venture into our wide open back yard.
.
.
Good thing I had my phone camera handy.
❤️
.
A daily buffet is required.
.
Now that the weather is warming and the grass is turning green…
.
.
Our resident woodchucks are showing up more often.
.
.
There’s not much for them to eat yet and since I want them to leave my garden beds alone?
.
.
The buffet is being laid.
.
.
😉
.
Little nibblers.
.
It’s hard to tell, but I think Momma Chuck is back.
.
.
I’ve seen two smaller guys around the property the past few weeks, but Momma’s always had a different look.
.
.
And I think this is her.
.
.
If we see babies under the barn next month I’ll know for sure.
