iOTWr Critters

Images from:

1) Anymouse (Swans) These are racist muted swans. They chased the black swan away. It’s the best I can do with my little flip phone as you can’t even see what you’re clicking in the sunlight. That and they don’t trust me to let me get close.
2) Tim (Scarlet breasted Grosbeak) They only come through for a couple of days a year.
3) Not at all confused (Downy woodpecker)
4) Mansfield Lovell (Auggie) She makes it very difficult to take pictures of her. Soon as I whip out the camera or cell phone she immediately perks up and comes over wagging her tail. I have very few candid shots of her as a result. I also cannot get her to pose with her bare teeth exposed – trust me they’re frightful – but she is a very kind & gentle dog. We are so blessed that she doesn’t know she is mostly Belgian Malinois or we’d never control her. The only way I could get her to open up her jaw was to have the phone ready to take pics and hold onto a rawhide treat as she tried to take it from me.
5) MJA (Harp napping) My sister’s dog (and my puppyniece) “Harp”, A Miniature Pinscher. My sister sent me this pic without saying anything. I asked, “What’s she looking at?” She said, “Nothing. She’s asleep.” ROTFL. She sat down, rested her head on her shoulder and took a quick nap. Her ears are still perked up in case she needs to get back into action ASAP.
6) I………. (Joe) His name is Joe. Currently, he’s Biden his time, with a nap.
7) Claudia (Hornet) in our prairie.
8) Ghost (buds) close up.
9) TRF (Blue Jay) Found a fledgling in the tomato plants last week.
10) TRF (Blue Jay) Taking a snooze.
