I'm a fan of the 13th century chronicler known as Matthew of Paris. I also post images/videos of birds and animals that visit my birdbath and sometimes, my amateur photos of the night sky. You might know me as "Michael".
#birds A junco is checking out the leftovers from the small pumpkins in the background (which have been gnawed by possums and squirrels).

This hungry #opossum is munching on a very small pumpkin, left out by the birdbath as a snack. This is about an hour past sunset, so the camera is using infrared.

I put out the Halloween decorations by the birdbath - and this @squirrel came by for a snack. (Actually, he stayed for 30 minutes and made a big dent in the calico corn.)

#birds In case you wanted some face-time with a starling, here you go. No idea what it's saying, but it is very interested in whatever is going on...

#birds A Mourning Dove is in the bath - and raises each wing - I've seen them do this before - no other bird seems to do this at this bird-bath...
