Saturday’s Critters – June 1, 2024 Edition

I went on a bike ride one day and I saw this Eagle fishing out in the middle of the Arkansas River here in Tulsa.

I saw this white pelican as well. There were not as many as there has been in the recent past.

Nearby I saw this great egret also fishing.

And a great blue heron.

A target of opportunity a short while later. This northern mockingbird landing on this wire right in front of me.

At Lafortune Park on a different day I came across this blue jay who sat still while I took his photo.

At home this week I got out of my car and saw this black swallowtail butterfly enjoying my wife’s purple coneflowers. People on instagram said “great job.” I just happened to be there, praise the butterfly.

Here’s a video of the butterfly.

Here is out little Pomeranian, Kodi. He is a bit much to handle these days. He won’t let me pick him up or even clip a leash on him. He’s a little dog with big feelings. And a bit wild eyed especially with this filter I put on his photo.

Now the squirrels have attitude. They don’t move when you tell them to do so. It’s like they say, you move, after you refill the feeder.

Most of our robins are down on the ground. This guy got up on the rooftop and sang for a while. I guess he is looking for love.

These grackles are just taking over!! At least they fly off when you tell them to.

My wife and I went on a hike the other day and came across this doe and her yearling. The young’in was jumpy, mom seed chill. They paralleled us on the trail for quite a ways.
