White Rock lake, Winfrey Point
However, Perching Is Fine
The fact that Mockingbirds like to perch on signs, can lead to funny photo opportunities. Rebel birds

Alone on a bough
The Mockingbird sings,
But down on the ground
The dancing begins.

Males disputing territory boundaries fly toward each other, land near the boundary, and face off, silently hopping from one side to another. 2nd time I had witnessed this "dance" in 2 days, in the same area of my yard. Had my camera this time.

This eucalyptus tree is a favorite perch of the red-Tailed Hawk. However, the Mockingbirds think otherwise. The hawks can take quite a bit of abuse before flying off.

Humor outside my window
Photo 1:
Hey, No Birds, Now's My Chance
Usually the feeder is full of birds but for once it was empty. The squirrel wanted the food but took the lazy way of reaching it.
Photo 2:
I'll Just Lean Over & Grab A Bite
The epitome of lazy, this squirrel likes to just lean over & go face first in the seed, eating without using paws to hold the food. Or taking the trouble to jump or climb onto the feeder.
Photo 3:
Yum! That's Good!
That's a happy squirrel.
Photo 4:
Wonder If I Can Reach That Peanut?
As I watched, he stretched out full length trying to reach an elusive peanut. At the same time, the feeder started tilting away from him.
Photo 5:
Just A Leetle Further....
Squirrel on tippy toes stretched further and feeder tilted further away from him. This was getting interesting. Squirrel was determined to get that peanut.
Photo 6:
Tiny Bit Further And Whoops!
He kept stretching up on his toes & the feeder kept tilting away from him. Right after this shot, he slipped and fell off the brick. Jumped to his feet and ran off. I was laughing too hard to get a shot. Doubt he learned anything, he does this frequently.

Tense Encounter
My back door is glass and looks out on an open breezeway between my back yard and side yard. It has become an urban game trail of sorts with feral cats, raccoons, possums, lizards and bugs to be seen at night. So I have a camera near by. Which is how I captured this tense encounter between Goliath, the alpha male possum that rules my yard and a youngster old enough to be living on its own. The teenager whirled and ran off right after this shot. Thanks to my indoor cats & the wild critters trying to look thru the door, the glass always seems to be dirty when I take these shots but you can see what was going on.

This handsome dog fox seemed to be looking for his family, barking incessantly. These small canids are only distantly related to the true foxes.

I was less than 6 feet from this bird but it really wasn't bothered and began singing shortly after landing here.

This observation record is for the parasitic cordyceps fungus that killed this wasp. This species is likely Ophiocordyceps humberti (as per David Hughes from Penn State --thanks!)
