X post from GD.

It was raining at sun up. It was a bad morning. My little pride and joy of over a dozen years was going to the vet. We didn't know if he was coming home at that time. He had surgery. He is home sleeping off the meds in my lap under his favorite blanket.

Our cable was out. The cable guy could not get over all the different birds, animals, and sounds. Yes I enjoyed showing off our little friends.

The Orioles are stealing from the hummingbird feeders, so we had to change those around.

The Baltimore Orioles are the orange color. The males are bright orange. The females are the duller orange: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Baltimore_Oriole/id

We don't have photos yet of our Cat birds, Hummingbirds, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Indigo Bunting, and Summer Tanagers.

I promised some Oriole pix the other day. This first photo is an Orchard Oriole. We have at least two pair of them. You will see the complete photo in the full collection from this afternoon below. Orchard Oriole: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Orchard_Oriole/id



They make a lot of noise fighting over the jelly feeders. Here they are.

Luka before age whitened his face up.


This was taken in my recliner just a few days ago. Dug is easy to see because he is mostly white. Luka is farther away and mostly black. That is Luka's ball he will play with for hours. We throw, he brings it back like he is herding sheep.

My left foot sticks out like a sore thumb.

2. Thanks for the wonderful pics! (These and all previous ones too.)

Here in Southern Indiana I'm feeding a bunch of woodpeckers (Hairy, Downy, Red-Bellied, and Pileated) and we finally have a group of grosbeaks that aren't just passing through.

I definitely need a jelly feeder! We've seen and heard orioles on occasion and maybe we could bribe them to come closer.

Not too many hummers yet, seems unusual.

3. I have relatives all over Southern Indiana from my dad's side

Loogootee, Mitchell, Orleans, etc. We went back several times when I was growing up.

We only have a pair of hummingbirds so far that we are sure of. They are all around you: http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html
