Columbidae Hat Trick!!! 🎯

Only the second time I've managed Band-tailed Pigeon (top), Mourning Dove (middle) and Collared Dove all in one shot!

The size differences never fail to amaze and amuse! 😂

Largest to smallest, band-tailed is crow sized, collared dove is between a crow and a robin and mourning is robin sized.

Gold Star if you spot it - two gold stars if you know the names.

Three gold stars if you know their fun in-common nickname!

Ms. Cascades Frog (you can't tell in pic, obvi, but she's twice the size of Mr.)

This was after I crawled 1/2 under my car to scootch her out, assuring her under there was NOT a safe place to hang out.

Dizzy had a second dumb surgery - so we're letting her control the remote.

"Mass" removal "mass" seems like too big a word for what it was lol - though looks like it was HUGE from the area shaved and number of stitches - eesh! It...was not.

Don't fret the "sad" look she feels fine!
