There have been no shortage of birds visiting the backyard feeder, along with squirrels and raccoons.
The Goldfinches are back.
Along with the Dark-eyed juncos.
The House finches.
The other night there was a raccoon on the feeder, I sent Chloe out to chase it away, but it only went up the tree, eventually it came down, and I sent Chloe out again to finally chase it away.
There were a couple of House Finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) around the backyard feeder this morning.
We have a sparrow fledging that is a little demanding of its mother. It likes to sit in the tree and chirp away until it’s fed. It is able to fly on its own, but it can’t fly to the feeder. It looks like Totoro.

It gets all excited when the mother comes and starts flapping its wings.
Once again we (mainly Chloe) have been chasing away the squirrels that like to hang around our bird feeder. They are literally hanging around.
Sometimes I’ll sit on the bench with my camera and the hose.
I like how the morning sun catches some of the birds that visit the feeder.
Today Susan, Gillian, Chloe and I went on a hike at Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area. The weather was perfect, not too hot.
There is a lot of rock climbers that frequent it.
The last time we were here was in 2011, the girls and I had come on a PA Day. Chloe didn’t like the grated steps back then, and she didn’t like them going up or down. Here is a video of her going back up the stairs. At least this time she went on her own, last time we ended up carrying her up and down.
Gillian and Susan in a makeshift teepee.
Trying to get some burrs off of Chloes face.
We did the Buffalo Crag Lookout trail.
I can do selfies with my 10-20mm wide angle lens.
I’m off for a couple of days this week, Susan is off the entire week, she’s been busy getting the girls ready for their trip. In the mornings it still bearable to sit out on the back deck and watch the birds. Here are some pictures of the new bird feeder I got for Father’s Day. There have been more House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) around the feeder recently.
A female House Sparrow.
A neighbourhood squirrel making his way along the fence before Chloe can spot it.
A bumblebee visiting the flowers.
Chloe does a good job of keeping order in the backyard, she chases the squirrels and larger birds, but is getting better letting the smaller birds feed at the feeder. She has figured out that the birds drop pieces from the suet feeder which she likes.
I bought a new lens this week, it is a Sigma 10-20mm ultra-wide angle lens. Here a couple of my initial shots with it.
Out at Angela’s soccer game on Monday.
It was a relaxing afternoon, sitting in the backyard watching the bird feeders. Today we had a female Downy woodpecker (Dryobates pubescens) feeding from our suet feeder.
The girls bought me a new feeder for Father’s Day, it is made of metal (i.e. squirrels can’t chew it) and it contains the seeds better (when the squirrels hang off of it) and therefore the seeds last longer and not as much growing in the garden. I don’t think I have taken a photo of the new feeder yet.
The downy woodpecker is the smallest North American woodpecker.
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s. I had a nice relaxing day with Susan and the girls. Showed Gillian how to replace a burnt out brake light. Here is Chloe trying to get at whatever is living under the neighbour’s deck, hopefully it isn’t a skunk. I put rocks down to stop her from digging.
Let me know when you’re tired of the bird photos, eventually the novelty will wear off. This was early this morning when a pair of Cardinals came by.
A Goldfinch having a drink.
The male cardinal.
Noticed that he has a Josh Donaldson haircut.
Gillian set her camera up on a tripod attached to a branch, she is able to control it from her phone. I added the leaves to camouflage the camera.
We went to Ikea after church this morning and one of the things we picked up were rain ponchos for Angela and Claudia. They need one for their trip to Germany, something to keep their knapsacks dry. When we got home we tested them out and they passed the test.
The birds are back, we even had a Blue Jay munching away at the seeds that were on the ground.
