I always enjoy keeping an eye on the creatures visiting my back yard.

Chickadees are regulars, of course, but every now and then I get a fun picture. This pert little bird was peering out from the middle of the miniature lilac bush.
Baby critters are always a delight. The red-winged blackbird fledgling above is starting to molt into its adult plumage. Check out the red patch just starting to blush on the shoulder.
Finally, this gray squirrel is taking full advantage of the low hanging bird bath. She's being so well mannered as she slakes her thirst.
Piper is frightened by all the cannons going off in the vineyards to keep the birds from eating the ripening grapes, so we've been sticking closer to home. There's always something to watch and enjoy, though. :)

I work at a vineyard here in Maryland. Fortunately harvest is progressing here without the need for the booms etc. If only it could deter the invasive insects plaguing us. Cheers! ~Tempus Fugit
The boom season seems to go on forever here. There's one vineyard that uses a hawk call and that one doesn't bother Piper. I wish more of the growers used those! I totally agree about the invasives - insects, plants, marine life....
