From the archives a few years ago, flamingos at the Tulsa Zoo. They, along with most of the birds there, have been off display the last few times I have been there because of virus’s circulating around.
Another backyard squirrel captured on my trailcam recently. I just now noticed the date was wrong. I changed out the batteries and neglected to fix the date. The temperatur is right though. I haven’t been out and about taking photos. This year I am a weather weenie plus I have had a lot going on in my life lately!
And the fence contractor. I know he is not a critter but he is a really nice guy. He is replacing my neighbors fences. I told neighbor I would pay half for common fence. I then got the contractor to give me an estimate on my remaining fences. He pulls out his phone, calls up and aerial view of the neighborhood, finds my yard, measures the fence using the tool on his app. Multiplies by his cost per foot. Asks if that estimate works, I tell him yep, so he opens up an accounting app, puts in the amount, and my contact information and it sends me an invoice. It is pretty amazing.
So to continue the chain, I contact my other neighbor ask him if he would like to pay for half of our common fence. (I am not a beat around the bush kind of guy and if he didn’t want to pay half, I would totally understand.) He said yep, how much. So we have own little spreading construction project going on. I love wheeling and dealing. I also love good neighbors and we have good neighbors right now.
I’m diverging, got totally away from critters but you know everything in the world is connected right?
I’m linking with Eileen’s Saturday’s Critters. Go check it out.
Beautiful Flamingos!
Good neighbors are a blessing!
Hello,
Love the flamingos, they are beautiful birds.
Cute capture of the squirrel.
It is nice you and your neighbor are sharing the cost of the fence. Stay warm and safe.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Good neighbors and now good fences. Robert Frost must be smiling. (My mouth is still hanging open reading the description of how you got your quote).
Lindas aves. te mando un beso.
Most definitely, we are all connected, you’re right there. Fun photos and I’m glad your fencing worked out well. Sounds like a good contractor. What you described really was amazing. Good neighbors too and they are golden, nice to know you have them.
Beautiful flamingo shot! Good fences make good neighbors!
Sounds like you have some nice fair neighbours there. I’ve never seen Flamingo birds personally though
It really is nice to have good neighbors…we do too! That squirrel is a critter that loves to climb trees here in Florida too!
We had the arctic blast last week and went down as low as minus 17 degrees at night! Happily, our pipes did not freeze and we did not lose power, although some did, It is a winter to remember!
