(sorry, I couldn’t resist)
Just the other day two young spike bucks were trying to fight in my back yard. They raised up on their back legs and then bumped their chests together. Unfortunately they stopped after one attempt and I wasn’t able to grab my phone in time to get it on film.
@Steve Brown-the same thing happened to me!!!
Good thing my Mazda3 goes fast!! Zoom-zoom. That spider had the ride of his life!

Thanks!
All wonderful photos!
Anonymous, I might try growing purple coneflowers; we have American Goldfinches here, too. They are so pretty!
Cool pix!
Always appreciate the Sunday Critters. My two Irish Terriers, Redmond and Simon, think I’m the smartest person in their lives. I appreciate their good judgment.
