Exactly, me too little Piglet!

what do you mean, "at first glance"?  It's a killer whale.
She came out of there too, and flew around. I saw her mate, too.  No question about it.
In fact every nest box on that whole prairie had a little orca sitting in it.

yeah, isn't it amazing that these strapping fellows can survive on a diet of flies and mosquitoes, which are mostly plastic?

Now that's what I call a "bird bath"!

hahaha yeah one of those chichi ones you have to run a water hose into, not like mine, which is really a christmas tree stand.

The barn swallows returned to the Chicago lakefront, and every night one particular barn swallow  can be found sleeping in his (or his ancestors') traditional spot. I try not to disturb his sleep, although I can watch him at close range.
Soon there will be swallow fledglings, which bring new life to the old expression "loose cannon."
