koda is sure one of these days he’s going to be able to climb a tree to get to the squirrel. We’re at a Sniffspot.

here is Koda giving his best effort to try to climb up the tree after the squirrel. It’s a western red cedar tree. I got lucky to get this shot. I just was snapping away. I think all 4 feet are off the ground.

here is a healthy, normal looking golden crowned kinglet. I don’t know if these are the same birds that were here from July or if those birds have moved on. But I appreciate seeing the kinglets #Birds

golden crowned kinglet. Glad to see it is surviving. I’m assuming it’s just an unfortunate molting around the left eye. I am hopeful. here it is forging for insects in one of the above ground barrel ponds. there is another one that looks quite normal. Seen on cameras at this time too. #Birds

The morning started off very foggy, so the cameras were all wet at least halfway through today. Canadian Robin bathing. not many clips at the bird baths were viewable. #Birds

we hope everyone had a beautiful Sunday. The weather is lovely here, but we’re all asleep deprived there were coyotes several coyotes out in front of our house last night in the middle of the night and they were all howling. I think they got something to eat. But it drove the dogs absolutely crazy.

if I didn’t know better, I would think there’s 3 to 4 of these Pacific Wrens in my yard right now, but that’s not really possible. It’s rare to even have one. This little bird is on every camera all day long and the others that visited last fall were rarely on one or two. #Birds

back to the Playfield tonight it’s notthat the dogs need to run again but on Friday night it’s just crazy in our neighborhood which has a high school to walk the dogs. So it’s better to walk them in this quiet bedroom community middle school and park complex. happy weekend, everyone.

OK, Eris is kinda looking. Koda is looking. There is a moon behind us, but the light is brighter than the moon but the moon is a whiter color than the old sodium amber light

both puppies are laying down. It’s time to leave now. They’ve had their dinner and they’re asleep. I need to get to sleep too. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

The Steller’s Jays are careful not to come down in the backyard very often they are so smart. They wait until the doggie door is shut the dogs come in to eat lunch around 3 PM. here is one of the Jays at a backyard pond. They are smart and like to rearrange things before bathing. #Birds

The trench for 110v line to garden shed. The "water feature", pulled from Tom Robin's (Alexa's actually at that time) free pile. I bought a new little pump for it. Figure it will be good for some limited sound.

早いもので今日から10月ですね。10月1日、語呂合わせ的には「ジュウイチの日」ですが、ニッチすぎると思いますので #杜鵑（トケン）の日とでもしたらどうでしょう❓ ※毎月11日は⁈というツッコミは無粋ですぜダンナ😎 ということで（⁉️）ツツドリと思われる一枚です。鳴いてくれない&お腹側の模様を確認できなかったのでちょっと曖昧にしておきます😅🪶 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #OrientalCuckoo #ツツドリ #birds #野鳥 #Japan #BirdsSeenIn2026

A presumed Oriental Cuckoo perched on a thin branch, facing right. Its brown plumage has extensive pale barring and streaking, with a yellow eye-ring and orange-yellow bill. The long tail is barred with alternating dark and pale bands.

The pups got a good night tonight. I finished my double treatment yesterday. koda got an evening walk and then they both went to the playfield then Eris got a late night walk. I love to walk so it was a perfect night for everyone. look, I can hold my phone steady. #MG

here’s Koda I have my red light on so I can see better and there’s two pumpkins behind him. We made it to the center rock.

here are the puppies at the Plainfield and I was able to hold the camera steady. They’re not working. There’s a moon over our head. It was a lovely night.

I am holding the phone steady, but Eris is moving. She’s always looking around. The girl doesn’t miss anything. It’s really lovely that she can do a midnight walk with me. highly reactive Eris

I have the red light on. She’s at the same corner. Kota is on. I just thought it would be fun to take their photo at the rock which is the center of the walk the middle of the walk and there’s two pumpkins behind them lit up.

Enjoying the beautiful Fall day in our backyard. Cool and sunny but the backyard is mostly shade. Eris had her ear recheck this morning and her ear looks good. Have a good day everyone. Camera check later…

koda sitting on his hammock bed I have a weird set sitting and believe that arborist chips. The red house is behind them. They both have their mouth open. There’s a little bit of sunlight coming through the trees.

I just really appreciate Fox Sparrow because I hardly ever see them. You can see I post the #birds that I don’t get to see very often. I believe this bird will not stay long. She’s been here for over a week. There is another one earlier in the season and she left.

The pups had a great time tonight. There was bunnies in the playfield no bunnies were hurt.

coda and Iris having fun smelling all the places the bunnies were before they showed up. It’s weird to us that the bunnies are coming out even though there’s lights now on this field. we’re looking at a dark field at night but it’s lit up so it’s not really dark. It has amber lights that shine on it.

there is a pretty moon through the clouds. This is looking in the other direction towards the school. it’s the playfield, which does look a little dark from here and then it’s some Evergreen trees at school with flat roofs and some gray clouds with the moon shining through it.
