Earlier this week I went on a hike at Oxley Nature Center. I heard all sorts of birds and got brief views of some of them. The only photo I got is of these waterfowl on one of the ponds on a long shot. I think they are mainly ducks and maybe a couple of geese.
I am still not much of a birder. I am hiking along and I can tell that I am really close and yet I hardly ever see the smaller birds and the cardinals are very skittish and stay in the brush so it is hard to get a photo of them. It is fun that with the Merlin App I can at least identify them. Still I only have about five birds on my life list. Oh well.
Back home here is Kodi the Pomeranian resting.
And Lizzy the cat resting trying to escape from the house cleaners.
On the human little critters. Halloween is just too stressful for Kodi so we go dark. Turn out the porch and driveway lights and the lights in the rooms at the front of the house. So something funny happened. This group of kids showed up and rang the doorbell anyway and misread out “No Soliciting” sign.
That’s a wrap, linking with Saturday’s Critters this week.
Hello,
Love your cute Kodi and Lizzy! Great capture of the ducks and geese.
I like using the Merlin app while I am hiking. I do not always find the birds I am hearing.
I would think the kids would avoid a dark house, we have not had a trick-or-treater here in 30+ years. Here they would need a car to go from house to house.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a wonderful weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
…if you are interested in seeing thousands of geese stop up here!
Kodi is smiling in that photo! I put the cats in the bathroom and Mickey in the bedroom between 6 and 9. At 9 I turned off the porch light, unplugged the outdoor decorations, and freed the animals. There was still some knocking, which I ignored while Mickey barked.
Kodi is adorable and sweet kitty napping ~ sweet photos ~ thanks,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Lindos pajaritos , tu perrito siempre es dulce. Te mando un beso.
That is difficult, when the dog gets riled up.
That is a funny video, though!
Birdwatching can be tricky, but it’s always rewarding to spot something new. Kodi and Lizzy look so peaceful!
