I made a break in between chores and captured 3 animals that I hope you all enjoy.

Certainly did enjoy, and I'd enjoy your little Junco more if it was in my back yard. :-D We used to have flocks of Juncos, and I haven't seen one in years. Pretty shots, Greg. Hope the bird left well before the cat appeared.

Donna, thank you for the comments. So they are Juncos. Will mark that in my bird book. I have a bunch of them. The cat does get a bird now and then and I think they are mainly doves by looking at the feather pile they leave behind. They will be getting less now that the leaves are off the plants next to the feeders.

Nice shots, Greg, but if it was me, I would think seriously about 'getting rid of' the cat. Feral cats do enormous harm to native wildlife. It's none of my business--JMO. Earl. :-) :D

Earl, I agree with you about the cat but around here they are considered mousers. They do eliminate a whole lot of mice but they also get the occasional bird and anything that nests on the ground is in jeopardy. I personally do not call animal control but I know some neighbors do. hanks for looking, Greg

Love all three of your shots, Greg, but my favorite is the cat with the squirrel following at a close second. Good job!

I am glad you like them. My favorite is the squirrel but that is what makes humans so great, we all have our own favorites. Thank the Lord, Greg
