The first time you catch them snuggling is great. Try to get a pic of the inevitable butt-to-butt stealth cuddle!

Long discursion on work Zoom today about various people running across frighteningly large gangs of frighteningly large raccoons.

There’s a Grey Butcherbird that visits my back deck almost every day [1]:

Billy the Butcher.

[1] Partly because they’re naturally very bold and inquisitive, partly because I give him a tiny bit of bacon fat once a month or so.

2 of the momarchs have successfully completed metamorphosis. I was lucky enough to catch one still warming her wings. Below is a chrysalis going transparent.

Like a cheap Wes Anderson movie, but with less budget for rulers, set squares and mirrors.

another rainy Saturday in the Conch. First sighting of Mr. Cardinal at the feeder. He is a little confused as to the pecking order - the bluejays are aggressive and the woodpeckers DGAF, but he’ll figure it out. Also, Ms. Cardinal got some yummy seeds from the feeder before the jays chased her off.
