I mostly just share escapist pictures of the animals I live with and the birds in my backyard. 26 years vegan. I have opinions. 🇨🇦🇳🇿

This is the first chance I’ve had to photograph a Pine Siskin this year – or maybe ever, because we don’t see a lot of them. Before today, the last time one turned up on the feeder cam was February 2023. #birds

We have problems here with House Finches bullying the other feeder birds, but this is the first time I’ve seen one successfully take on a Cardinal. Then she put the run to a Junco for good measure.

My son pointed out that the painting of Mark S looks like Justin Trudeau and now I can’t unsee it. #severance

My small contribution to some collective joy today is this out-of-range Carolina Wren who chose this morning for his occasional visit to my backyard. Please enjoy his borbiness, his jaunty tail, and his floofy butt.

It rained last night while the ground is frozen (yay Canada) so our backyard is just a sheet on ice with water on top of it.
And based on how quickly old lady dog came back to the door, I’m pretty sure she stood at the top of the deck stairs and decided nope, she didn’t need to poop today actually.

You wouldn’t know it, but these #cats don’t get along.
Grandkitty still takes great pleasure in jumping on Sera to get a big hissy spitty reaction, even though he is almost two and should probably know better. But sometimes when she’s snoozing he’ll carrrefully sidle in next to her. Progress?

In the interest of sharing joy, here is one of my favourite holiday gifts, from my husband: a cardstock banner/bunting featuring some of my very favourite backyard birds. It delights me.
I found these kind of silly little birdhouses at Michael’s for a couple of bucks just to amp up the kitsch. 💚

Might as well start in this place as I mean to go on: with too many pictures of the birds in my backyard.
