This little House Wren has been arriving in our backyard every October for the last 3 years. He's usually the first "snowbird" to show up. More to come 😊

So thankful to have a roof over my head on this very rainy day 🌧

Unsure if this injury is temporary, but may have gotten it doing something dastardly. When the #BirdOfTheDay theme is #attitude, #Cowbird is a great choice...

Even though the seed is meant for the birds, Chip decided it was all for him. He only started eating 10 minutes later, after the Doves gave up and left. One minute later, he moved on to my parsely 🌿

Some interesting critters roaming the backyard. The weather has turned milder here in Florida (fingers crossed), which usually means the birds will be returning soon 😀

I've never shared this photo from 2023 before. Since it's #VultureAwarenessDay why not make it about the #manatees too? They have been rebounding in the Indian River Lagoon lately, hopefully it continues later this year 💚

Gulf Fritillary butterfly and a cute little Skipper enjoying some Bidens Alba. I'm fairly good with identifying butterflies, skippers not so much.
