A loud visitor in the backyard this morning

A red shouldered hawk fledgling perched on the roof of.a shed in my backyard. It has its mouth open, mid screech and is all floofed up

The crows gifted me a dime today!

I usually avoid naming wild animals, but I’ve been befriending this pair of crows for almost 3 years now and I think it’s about time. I’m leaning towards Bouba and Kiki only because I think I’d be a lot of fun debating which one is which 😆 #linguistics Anyone have any other ideas for cool names?

Who made this?? 😆

A montage of three photos titled “Characters who let the baby escape and years later face him as an adult as a threat” with photos of Voldemort and Harry Potter, Scar and Simba, and a 20 year old Messi with Lamine Yamal as a baby

I really just want to see Lamine Yamal celebrate a win with his brother

How can you tell apart a juvenile crow from an adult? Look for these three clues

A closeup of the juvenile crow explaining how to tell a crow is just a baby using three visual clues: 1 pale blue eyes compared to an adults dark brown/black eyes 2 pink around and inside its mouth and 3 dull brownish feathers compared to shiny black adult feathers

Look who they brought to meet me today 🥹🥲😭😭

It’s getting later in the season and these two crows I’ve befriended hadn’t brought any fledglings to my yard yet this year. I was starting to worry that maybe they had an unsuccessful breeding season. But then…

A bonded pair of American crows perched together side by side on a branch. Crows mate for life and share nesting and parenting responsibilities equally. These two have been visiting me daily since I befriended them almost 3 years ago.

I live far from the wildfires, but the sky is so orange and hazy Thinking of all the people, animals, and plants affected by our collective actions

An unedited iPhone photo of the sky which is an eery orange pinkish color. The smoke from the Canadian wildfires has made the sun bright orange and hazy, similar to a sunset, but during daytime hours.

These crows bring you blessings ✨

Rainy day with the crows.

An American crow perched on a shed in the rain. It’s mid blink, showing its nictitating membrane (a translucent third eyelid that crows use to clean their eye or show aggression).

I interrupt your scrolling to bring you this turkey that has been visiting my yard each morning.

With the reflecting pool matching the colors of the American flag, are we all wearing Red, White, and Algae Green this weekend?
