There’s the Ravi! One quick hop and it’s snack time!

Second trip to the snack bar today.

Roadrunner SoCal

A visiting roadrunner looks up at a small table on the patio. On the table is a white bowl with mealworms in it. The bird is deciding if he want to jump up on the table.

The roadrunner is up on the small wooden table and about to grab a bite from the white bowl. The bird is in shade from the patio cover and the background is overexposed to almost all white.

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the Jack Snipe…master of the stealth and wobble! 👀

These charming little waders sneak into wet meadows and bogs from northern Europe, bobbing up and down as they feed along the water’s edge.

How's that for a Friday smile?

Delicious and nutritious Legg.

Agouti and white rat Ajax lies on his back hedonistically as he grooms his back leg. He's chomping on it like a corncob or a rib bone and clearly enjoying himself.

Have you seen lots of ladybirds flying around? Maybe some have come into your house?

At this time of year, ladybirds are moving around looking for a good place to spend the winter. On warmer, sunny days, large numbers may be seen flying in search of a suitable habitat 🐞

Trip number three to the snack bar for Ravi today! Connie conjectures that he may be bulking up for winter. You know, our ‘harsh’ SoCal winters..
Good to see you, buddy! I’m sure I won’t tomorrow cuz going to work.

A roadrunner has made three trips to the snack bowl of mealworms today. He is up on a small wooden table next to the bowl that has food. Tall Deergrass behind in the backyard is turning brown from the dry summer.

There's a lovely large flock of Jackdaws and Rooks in the village and every evening they have a fly round before they decide where to roost for the night 🖤
If I'm awake I sometimes see them do the same thing early in the morning just before dawn 🖤
I do love the corvids 😊
