She's a lucky gal.
Check out the shape of these guy's heads, pretty funny.
A whole gaggle of geese!! Do we do good at making geese babies or what.

birds, birds and more birds

I was going through all my photos and I have alot of bird photos. Nothing great, but I'll share anyway. I have lots of sucky duck photos too, I'll share those next time.

Here, male yellow-headed blackbirds on parade. ....In my food plot! Eating all the newly planted sorghum! And there were a bunch more than these 4. Bastards.
A female Red-winged blackbird.
This will make great nesting material.
A robin's nest in the base of an alder. They later got eat by something.
Another robin's nest, on top of a nest box which had an active tree swallow nest. Hello, we're in the county folks, you've got space.

Male northern harrier.
Two males fighting over a mouse apparently that the top one has.
That's it for now.

Happy 4th ya all!

Happy 4th! Hope you all get out and enjoy the wonderfully long weekend!

This is my view off my back porch! I'm so spoiled.


Yeah know how I was saying Larry has been working on winning Roy over. Look at this. Amazing. Roy was wet and muddy from our hike and Larry decided to graciuosly give him a bath. Roy is saying 'Uh, Mom, what is Larry doing?'
Oh, a bath. Ok, I can handle that.It is really amazing to see Roy putting up with that. He gets all upset if I'm on the couch next to him and I just move an inch and disturb him.
