Waits outside of my front door most mornings.

Then announces me to the world.

Steller's Jay
The official announcer of breakfast time, this Steller's Jay waits outside my front door in the tree that's there. Once he knows I'm out and about, he calls all of his friends. Taken this morning, 12 December 2025. North Oregon coast, Fujifilm X-H1.

Dark-eyed Junco hops from branch to branch not that far from me, confident that I can't see him... Or maybe I don't seem like a threat. North Oregon coast. Today, December 11, 2025. Panasonic Lumix G9.

Just for a #throwbackthursday it's an argument of Red-winged Blackbirds

Taken September 25, 2025

Red-winged Blackbirds having a discussion over breakfast. It was a late September morning and several birds arrived at once, causing some consternation. Perhaps they are discussing where they will move, next. 25 Sept 2025. Northwest Oregon coast. Panasonic Lumix G9.

Breakfast in the rain... It sucks. But that's the feral life for you. And it's better than nothing, on #WhiskersWednesday

#catsofbluesky
Big feral boy Wilfred appreciates the food but not the rain, thinks I can fix that. He's pretty cleaned it up, anyway.

Just one of the goats, who has come out of the shed to survey the bleak, winter-like weather. He is disappointed with what he sees.

Departure Pattern at the Birdport - taken right before the heavy rains set in. Steller's Jays are abundant in my area right now but they may soon decide that the weather is too much for them.

Really, as Winter approaches I worry about all of us.

Steller's Jays form their own takeoff pattern, airport style. As the weather starts to turn wintery I will probably have fewer opportunities to photograph birds...or much else. Things are increasing in uncertainty. But that's the nature of existence. Fujifilm X-H1.

Twas a gray, damp morning, but the goats were still waiting for me.

(Bonus: feral cat)
This morning was drab and damp but the animals will still wait for me. If it isn't a typhoon or blizzard, anyway. And I will be there too. December 4 2025. Fujifilm X-H1

Still standing...

I do not know the season of Dahlias, but I am surprised to see them today, still hanging in there.

They're tougher than me.

We all wonder about things, sometimes. Birds ponder, people ponder... Steller's Jay is thoughtful and may know more than some people.

At least that is how I felt about this photo I took...

Bird of the day photograph. Steller's Jay seems to be contemplating life. Perhaps, like me, he does not like the answers.

Song Sparrow having a snack. Late in the morning, there isn't a lot of seed left. But enough, I hope. Between the feral cat colony, the goats and the birds, I'm always broke. Sigh. December 1 2025.

Really, I'm glad we're all still here! Life is tenuous sometimes. I worry about us. I can't fix much of anything, though - maybe help make things a little better around the edges, at least briefly. Somehow we got this far and so did December's Cat of the Month

Late getting dark sunset. I should have made it out to the west field a little too late, I guess.

My semi-weekly (or is it semi-monthly?) southward drift of the sun check. Will it still be visible in another month?

The outbuilding that was in sunset photos is now over my right shoulder. It feels like the Earth is getting more tilt than in the past. I'm sure it's just my imagination.

When I was a child we called them snowbirds, because that was the only time we saw them. But now...

The return of the Dark-eyed Junco.

Dark-eyed Juncos are back. They may have never left but they're back to high visibility now, maybe a little earlier in the season than usual for the area. I'm not sure, really. I haven't kept a catalog. North Oregon coast.
