Neighborhood birds at the birdbath. Seems that they are trying to get caught up on the local gossip. The big question "Have you seen any hawks nearby?" 🤷‍♀️

BlueJays can carry more than one peanut shell at a time. In the picture on the left he has one peanut in his beak and one barely visible in his throat. The photo on the right is cropped so the peanut in his throat is more visible.

Ripples from rain drops is a little water on the deck. The leaf has ripples along the edges. They are creating a different type of effect.

Wild autumn berries. Saw these while on a walk in a wooded area a few miles from where I live.

A one-legged hawk - did not notice this when I was taking the picture. Zoomed in on the photo to see if the hawk was standing at an angle where I couldn't see the other leg. Do you?

The prince of the deck - Oliver. He likes to explore the deck and the steps, but will not walk in the grass! Love this silly boy. ❤️

Same heron as the one I posted a few days ago. He was the only one around and seemed to know he was the star of the show. 🤭.

Just after the Mallard landed. Water spraying around the duck.
Gotta love a good landing. 😃

These are pokeweed berries. Saw these while on a walk at a nearby state park. These were growing around a log that looked like had been on fire at some point.

Male Northern Cardinal sitting in the tree top facing the sun. When the leaves start to fall and Summer birds are gone, the cardinals are much more visible.

Monarch butterfly getting a snack. My grandson was with me when I took this picture. He said, "Grandma! That's a Monarch! Those are rare." I think he was more excited than I was. 😃
