Found roaming in the neighbor's backyard tonight. So you say you can't find your chihuahua after letting it out to do its business? Ya, I haven't see it [emoji1745]Attachment 89620

Thanks! It's a solar yard light. Bunny was checking out the wild rose hips. This little one, I'm guessing a male, has been around the yard for about 8 months. It has somehow been lucky enough to survive the nearly nightly coyotes passing through, and the occasional fox and bobcat. This winter it remains in shelter under my wood piles for several days at a time, then comes out to feed for a while when the predators are unlikely to show themselves. It eats cracked corn, milo and sunflower that I put out for the birds.
That's a great capture. I'm thinking, "leaps tall fences in a single bound". There are predators everywhere and they will appear when least expected.
There's a local message board where residents of Jamestown and surrounding areas regularly post sightings and photos of bobcats, lions, coyotes and bears roaming around neighborhoods. And every week, sometimes several times a week people are posting about their lost cats and dogs. Unbelievable how clueless and careless some people are.
Couple of pics of a colorful little broad-tailed fella that's been visiting the feeder lately. Don't have many hummers here for some reason.

While we saw our first Black-chinned Hummingbirds in Palisade on Apr 17th, the first Broad-tailed was here off the Peak to Peak on the 26th. A few more birds flowed in but the snow on Monday and again this morning probably moved birds down canyon where conditions are more mild.
Here's a pic of a feeder this morning. I have other feeders protected under the eaves. One male hummer visited this morning. We've had about 5" of snow so far today.

That's cool. I'd like to know how to care for a hive of bees.
Very camera-shy Blue Jay guarding babies...
