Tracking MAK

[WLABarb]

Good job tracking the hawk in flight, MAK! You had quite an interesting day, and even got to meet Bertha's guardian. I admire people who have the wherewithall to take in abused horses. The horses ridden by The All American Cowgirl Chicks, in the Rose Parade, are rescued abused horses. My hat's off to them. Bertha must sense what a good egg you are. The mini-horse is definitely "dressed" for the upcoming weather. Beautiful portrait of the deer. It's always a treat to see Meadowlarks. I'm really enjoying seeing more of the area and wildlife there. Thanks, again, for sharing your visit. Looking forward to day 14!

I always enjoy your comments Barb. I found that I loved beautyful Bertha even more after I found out she had been abused. Anyone that rescues an animal is #1 in my book. It really is my pleasure to share what I see with y'all

Ooooooo! Meadowlarks! Have not seen these in years, so lucky you! Nice portrait of the doe, MAK. Can't wait to see what the next ride-along brings.

Bobbie, my first sighting ever of a Meadowlark was my last visit here for the month of November 2012. I didn't know what they were til I showed my brother-in-law my pics. This time when I saw them I was thrilled to have found them once again with their vibrant yellow that brightens up the brown ground of which they graze on. That doe was very big and stood frozen staring at me for 5 minutes until I started the engine on the truck to leave, then she and her 3 friends disappeared like a flash further into the woods. The last thing I saw was 4 white tails!

   When I got up on day 14 in Paradise I looked out the front window and saw a yard filled with cowbirds-I got my camera and when I opened the front door half of them flew off but I got what was left of them. I ventured down a couple new roads and came across a rescue farm and a stable that boards many,many horses. Bertha had a female Cardinal on a post behind her today! I saw more dogs,goats,little donkeys that I think are called burros and our regulars-kestrels and Blackie. I got some farm equipment pics for Dot and landscape pics of this beautiful part of the country. And as I ended my watch the cows were in the front pasture crossing the dirt part of the driveway ahead of me. Ah, home sweet home (at the moment anyway)!

Loved the old hippie horse blanket and the burros. Quite a flock of cowbirds! Sure are lots of roads with interesting names to explore.

Loved all the pictures today. Especially the dogs.

I don't think I've ever seen a Meadowlark.

That's me Dot-an old hippie!    There's tons of roads to check out here-I try to do a new one or two everyday.

Nora, they love dogs here-I think just about everybody has at least one!

Have fun this morning!!!

   Due to snow covered ice making for slippery conditions, day 15 in Paradise kept me off the roads-but I still saw plenty to share with y'all! I started the day by looking out front to see both Savannah and Ginger were joined by some cows by the barn. They all had frozen snow on their backs from an overnite rain that froze as the temperature plummeted from the 30's to 12 degrees today. Besides the regulars at the feeders, we were invaded by flocks of Red-winged Blackbirds and Grackles. I shoveled the back walkway for the Cardinals,Juncos,Sparrows and Tufted Titmouse and put down some seed for them. Later in the day Brown-headed Cowbirds came in and finished off what was left. My niece came by with 2 of her 7 dogs and I got shots of my sisters' cats.

Thanks Lynn, I can never pass up shooting pics of my favorite backyard friends, the Cardinals!

You got some great pictures, despite not being able to drive today. Love the kitties. They are sure pretty. And like Lynne said, the cardinal pictures are fantastic!  You are an excellent photographer.
