Stevie & I had a falling out during nesting season, but the birds have fledged. And I got to let him out while his mom was away. He was grateful #cats #caturday

The 3 flocks have been decimated by coyotes or maybe avian flu. But over the past 3 months these 7 females have found each other & created their own flock, which visits my home. Obviously no chicks this year. #birds #sonoma

This is my squirrel friend, Spot. He is an outcast, so I help out with whole nuts, peanuts today. Which he buries all over my yard. #Sonoma #squirrels #nuts

Ever since I over exclaimed amazement at Stevie's leap to the top of the fence, he now expects the same reaction & adoration every time. #caturday #notmycat #sonomavalley

This is the odd couple & junior. He was a very late hatchling as other chicks are already adult size. They keep a close watch on their baby & are not part of the main flock.

I put up this ramp for the turkeys as they sometimes panic & are afraid of the barb wire fence. It works. #forthebirds #birds #sonoma
