Here’s a video of a young raccoon stealing peanuts intended for the Douglas squirrels in our back yard. I’m having a running battle with this raccoon as I try to figure out a way to allow the squirrels to get to the nuts while denying access to the raccoon. So far the raccoon is winning. 🙃

So sorry for your loss. Hope this video of a swallowtail butterfly visiting our patio will help lift your spirits.

Timeline cleanse: Bewicks wren feeding one of its nestlings in one of our backyard nest boxes, which in years past was used by chestnut backed chickadees.

On the ferry to Seattle to take part in the #TeslaTakedown there.
