Frequent fliers, etc.

🐣 PHOEBE

 It was unusual,  but there was a phoebe in the front yard, which seems late in the year. Here is an old screenshot of it coming to land on the trailcam. They are lovely little birds. Ours nested twice and produced 8 chicks.


Ottawa, May 2013

Things are winding up. Leaves are falling. We have 8 happy fishies. I cannot grab a photo of them all at the same time! One was stubborn, and escaped capture until the pond settled and I could see it.


The water fountain has been scrubbed and cleaned. Much debris was in the mechanism. It's good to dry and be wrapped for winter. 



It was a lovely day to be working outside.

The sunset was lovely.




Fall, bring it on!


Plane spotting!

Finally, I am the proud owner of a new crown. 🦷 This is an old photo I remembered I had in the files.

Pretty fish. Fall and winter sunsets are one of the best parts of this season.

Hello Phoebe...and fish. Not sure you need that crown!

Your fish look happy! I don't think I've ever seen a phoebe. A new crown in your mouth? I feel for you!

The sunset really is pretty. Very cute bird too.

I wonder how old this photo is or how old the subject of the photo is. Good photo.

Eastern Phoebe is a little bird that is always delightful. So industrious, too!
