What...a goofball!
Dogs have all got Spring Fever - bad!
(tee b/c she got topical tick treatment, the one that does NOT cause seizures - b/c I pulled a tick off her head this morning...they have the fever too I guess)

A ruby throated hummingbird is on a tiny twig in a tree
I put up a red Hummingbird feeder 3 days ago and we're still waiting. Six months ago, September 10.
A Cardinal is perched on a tree branch. It's late winter approaching spring in Wisconsin. This bird was traveling with a male Northern Cardinal, thinking that this is a female.
So any ideas about this bird? It was with an adult Northern Cardinal. The colors and face markings look strange. Don't know if this is a male, female, or juvie. My guess is a female, but there is hints of a black mask. Love to know your thoughts. Very unique looking.

California scrub jay standing on the ground in a dramatic pose, with a cascade of white feathers from below its beak onto its chest, like a beard
For #birdoftheday, here is a California scrub jay striking a pose, showing off its "beard." It gathered more nest materials this past weekend, and I'm keeping an eye on the nest for any developments!

Saw a Red Fox on the walk home this evening. Didnβt have my camera, so here is another March fox from a couple of years ago - trotting and then stopping for some scritching πΏ

Same! And I'll never forget where we were the first time we heard the mysterious quacking π
In case anybody needed to see some ducks today, I got you covered. This is Fanno Creek in Tigard.
Woohoo! π So excited for you π
A brown frog is mostly submerged with just his eyes, nose and back above the water.
THEY'RE BACK!!!!!
Every year in February or March that first QUACK sound from a Wood Frog makes me incredibly happy. They're returning to vernal pools and ponds to call for mates and deposit lots of eggs

So exciting to see your photos of these beauties π€
A Sandhill Crane is making a bee line for a favorite residential yard after landing at a marsh.
One of the Sandhill Cranes I follow. Only one of the pair from last year has been reported in the area. So glad to see it. I think this is the male, but not 100% sure. We'll see if another makes an appearance, hoping so. #birds #SandhillCrane

Flying toward us with white wings extended overhead is a back-lit egret. We see water droplets falling from the dangling legs and feet as s/he flies along a rope and buoys in the blue lagoon.
This is a snowy egret from last week. S/he takes off in the morning sun for another perch along the buoy line. #Birds #Nature #Photography #WestCoastKin

A visiting roadrunner has hopped up on the snack table in a backyard. Green tall native grass and succulents are just behind the bird.

Itβs not peak roadrunner weather but good enough. Hi Ravi! Good thing snacks were ready - just in case!

Itβs been mild and weβve had some sunshine so Iβve been out in the garden for a FAB #Hedgewatch shift. The top of the hedgehog house is a great spot for birdwatching!
Have a fab day pals π€π§‘πΎ
