OT: Backyard Wildlife Photoblogging
A really gold goldfinch. It's a month closer to mating season since I last posted about these guys; the males have dramatically changed plumage, many with fully black caps and bright yellow spring feathers. If I had known we would get birds this colorful, we would have been feeding them years ago.
A California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) hangs out under the finch feeder and stuffs his face. Ironically, bad dog Hannah, who has a history with the order rodentia, may have dug a squirrel-sized hole under the fence, making it easier for this little guy to get into our yard. She would have caught and killed him had she known he was there, but Helen managed to lock her in the house before I got this picture. He escaped unharmed.
