Wonderful pics! 

   Awesome Donna thanks! 

    I wasn't able to get a pic of Beauty again this morning. She arrived after I had everything packed up. Debbie H stopped by just as I was about to pull away from the curb. She said BRRRRR MAK! lol  I did take some pics of my trip into downtown this morning. I'm glad I didn't go for nothing oh Beautyful one!!! Have a great day everyone and be safe!

After seeing this, Dana and I are signing up for lessons in Irish Hand Dancing.

Diet

Eats beetles, caterpillars, spiders, centipedes, snails, pill bugs, ants, wasps, and tupulid flies. In the fall and winter eats more fruit-spicebush, strawberries, juneberries, honeysuckle, blackberries, wild cherries, sumac, and blueberries.

Behavior and displays

    * Sings from a concealed perch in the lower canopy or understory, otherwise usually seen on the ground.

    * In conflict situations the bird holds its body in an erect posture, also may flick its wings and tail.

    * In high conflict situations, usually between two males fighting over a territory, the males will raise their bills and then snap them forward at one another. Males will also chase other intruding birds from their territories.

Courtship

    * The male pursues the female in flight around his territory, becoming less aggressive as the pair bond becomes stronger.

    * Female may sing a duet with the male as part of courtship. The entire process generally lasts 3-4 days.

   That Lemur is waaaay cute!

Dana would never be startled by a squirrel!   

Not unless it jumped up and bit her in the ...   

   I like it! 

Have a great day!

 

It's not a rumor and I doubt you drank too much wine!
