Yesterday they were down to one. Today she’s all alone. Does Blondie look depressed? Update: I kept seeing Blondie in the same spot all day which isn’t normal. I decided to walk out there. I now know why… She ended up staying there all day til the sun went down.

Circle of Life
One day you’re eating dinner with Mama, next morning you’re breakfast. Sad to watch as most of the ducklings end up this way.
Plum Thieves
We have an ornamental plum tree in our backyard and while we have more plums than ever this year I’ve noticed they been disappearing or I find the seeds on the ground. I’ve solved the mystery today… Two thieves caught in the act. I have the photographic evidence now so I can pursue a case …
Alameda County Fair 2012
The fair is in town! We looked at the schedule and had to check out the Alaskan Pig races. I also wanted to capture the fireworks display. On a dietary note, I can’t believe I ate a whole Smoked Turkey Leg.
Luz
Luz had 8 ducklings this morning. We’ll hope for the best.
Humphrey
That baby hummingbird just disappeared one day. I did hear a crow right outside the window so we feared the worst. The other day I saw him in our backyard alive & well.
Heron redo
It was hard choosing which foto of the Heron to post so I’ve gone back and made a composite of all the shotz.
Great Blue Heron in flight
Captured a GBH this morning. They are quite shy so he bolted as soon as I got close.
More Burds in Distress
Aside from the baby Egrets today we stumbled upon a baby sparrow that looked too young to fly. There was a cat across the street, he didn’t stand a chance.
Egret Island 2012
It’s that time of the year again. The Egrets are here. Sadly there were 2 youngsters on the ground. They probably fell out of the nest or got pushed out. I don’t think they’ll last very long. They were shaking like Chihuahuas.
