This Brown Thrasher showed in the yard this morning. I haven't seen one of these around since last May, I think.

He's so ignorant of the Constitution, he doesn't realize that he doesn't HAVE to sign anything for legislation to become law. So he's saying he'll automatically let everything Congress sends to him pass into law? Some threat. As the great statesman Bugs Bunny once said, "What a maroon".

I use a Nikon Z8 with a Nikkor 180-600mm lens. I was probably 5 yards away from this one. He didn't seem too alarmed.

I keep the squirrels (mostly) off the feeders by feeding them copious amounts of peanuts. I have a problem with the raccoons eating and dumping stuff at night.

Good idea! I'll just drag everything behind the back fence and let the raccoons and opossums do their thing.

Today, a Turkey Vulture made a low pass over the house. Yesterday it was Black Vultures. Should I be worried?
