A New Guy in Town!!

Check it out!! What is that? I googled and I’m guessing house finch. Does anyone know? (Karen?) I also had a couple of blue jays, but they’ve been here before and they fly off the second I reach for my camera.

It’s the Weekend Again, Thank God!

Except I’ve been working so far. But if I get enough done I can be a slug tomorrow. This is a planter I passed by … somewhere in Manhattan. Pretty, no? I like the lion faces, and the peeling paint white.

I Can’t See Them But I know They’re Out There

And so he waits, faithfully. My cats are all about the birds now. The poor birds must feel like it’s a trap. No sooner do they land and start eating when a cat rushes at the window. The braver ones, like in the picture below with Buddy, stare. It’s like a bird/cat stand off.

BIRDS: Do we dare come closer?
BUDDY: Sure. What could go wrong?

Bird War

It kinda feels like the mourning doves vs the pigeons out there, and since the doves are smaller I can’t help but root for them. I’m not sure what to do. I thought I might out another cup of food or something, but then I realized, it’s not like the birds will politely divide up. This cup is for us, and that cup is you guys.

Meanwhile, the food from a truck business has expanded into waffles, except they spell it with one “f” and also offer something called “dinges.” I do not know what those are.
