Sunday Afternoon at home

Added two new hanging rods to the bird feeder this afternoon. Squirrels will have a difficult time getting to these. Have had the Downy and the Wren visit this afternoon.



The next two pictures are of the Gray Cat Bird that has been hanging around for a few days. What a sleek looking bird!




Gaula a Belgian Malinois is a new visitor to our house. This dog will be trained by my son to search for explosives. This is high spirited dog with lots of drive, but she has great personality, a real sweetheart.



The Cardinals around the neighborhood are slow to mature and are colorful if not like their parents.




This Carolina Wren has visited off and on this summer. Really likes to flit about, but today it was out in the open more than usual.




The Gold Finches have been active too, not exactly pretty like many of this I have seen this summer, but maybe it is getting ready for winter.
