When did “feed the raccoons” become part of my daily “to do” list? I thought that there was only one raccoon visiting my bird feeder, but tonight I saw two of them. I guess raccoon number one is telling his friends about the new buffet in town. They are nightly entertainment for Brewster and Savannah since the feeder is just outside of the window. (My photos would be SO much better if these critters weren’t nocturnal!)

Contrary to popular belief, not all American Robins fly south for the winter. That is a myth. Many stay north and feast on berries while they wait for Spring to arrive. I was treated to a visit this weekend by a flock of 10 or more American Robins that came to feast on my holly bush berries. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen that many Robins together at the same time in the same spot, but they were enjoying Mother Nature’s buffet.

Look who came for breakfast on Christmas Eve! The cats were looking out of the window and I could hear their tails thumping against the window sill from the other room. When I went to see what they found so interesting outside, I saw this raccoon enjoying the sunflower seeds in the bird feeder that is hanging from the Japanese Maple tree. It was just after daybreak and the raccoon was sitting in the tree with his head and front paws in the feeder. I’m glad that he was able to join us for Christmas Eve breakfast!

I met several Crowned Cranes at Lake Tobias Wildlife Park. They are unique, beautiful, and the texture of their feathers is amazing!

Mommy Baboon carried her baby in her arms the entire time I was watching them. How sweet is this little baby?
