Otter Pop

I’ve seen plenty of animals roaming our backyard. All from racoonies, rats, skunks, opossums, squirrels and birds. This is a first… sea otter?

Squirrel Looter Busted

He will deny it, but I have a record proof. There’s a $500.00 reward to any tip that will lead to an arrest. Follow up: A week and a half later I found the apple 🍎 wedged in a nearby tree. I’ve never seen this type of squirrel behavior before.

Duckie Prequel

We have a duck that has decided our backyard is the best place for a nest sight. We are waiting patiently for the hatching ceremony (approx 28 days). Oddly a crow has decided to harass it. She lays on her eggs for days at a time while her mate waits bored out of his mind. …

Rockin Robin

While eating dinner we kept seeing this Robin running back and forth. It turns out she is making a nest in our Bougainvillea plant. I may have to install a Robin Cam. The following morning I spotted this… I suspect the squirrel is using the eggs to make french omelettes.

Hummer Shoot

I shoot whatever is in my backyard and lately that has been the Hummingburds. I don’t always get it right as sometimes I catch them in these awkward positions or angles. I eventually get something though.

Hummer Truce

The hummingburds are very territorial and are constantly chasing each other away from the feeder. Today we witnessed an unusual sight… a truce.

Hummer Cam
