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.
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.

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.
