I've had an indigo bunting visiting my feeders the last few days. I am going to make it a point to go outside with my phone and take a photo of him. If I'm successful I will post it

A group of manatees at Appolo Beach FL. January of 2019. The power plant is there and it warms the water drawing the manatee into the warmer water in cold weather (cold in FL is below 72 degrees water temp)

It could have gotten in your house when you opened the door and you didn't see it. Then it rovered around the house looking for water. The toilet lid is up...bingo! one hopper in the hopper!

The Hummingbirds are now coming out regularly but I haven't yet got any really great shots.  One very unusual thing that (naturally) I didn't have the camera ready for, was of two birds feeding at the same feeder at the same time.  Usually trying that would result in a really tiny turf war.  Hummingbirds are among the most territorial of animals.  After the first few weeks that young birds are flying, their own parents will drive them off the feeder.

I did have this little guy, well not exactly little; he ate well last year, luckily in my neighbor's garden instead of mine, in the back yard..

This is his nemesis.  She belongs to the lady across the street.  While she may look cute and cuddly, she is a killer.  It's a rare morning when she hasn't got at least a mouse.  While her owner isn't really thrilled to have her kills deposited on the porch in the morning, we haven't had a problem with moles since they came to town.

The kitty is Martha's, along with another cat, a Pekinese and the most laid back Rottweiler I've ever seen.  This cat, Princess, was attracted to my back basement window.  One day I found out why.  She was hissing and pawing at the window like she hated it.  I went inside and down to the basement and there was our cat doing the same thing.  Medium sized turf war.  It was like trying to pull a couple of drunks off each other in a bar fight.  They wanted to kill each other right through the glass.  Finally, before one of them actually broke the window, I put a couple of boxes in front of it so they couldn't see each other.  Luckily Purry is an inside cat or I'm sure that they would have fought it out by now.  I think of the bunny as lunch on the hoof.  So, I'm sure, does everyone else in the neighborhood who has a garden.  He has about five brothers and sisters that LOVE veggies.  They're smart enough to stay away from Princess though.  She is one badass pussy cat.

That rabbit looks almost as big as a jack rabbit. I think that's only thing I miss about Texas is the sized of the rabbits. My dog chased one once and ran into a fence.

Couldn't get quite close enough to get an overhead shot. Thorns make a pretty good defense.

Didn't get a shot of the fella who left these behind.
