Warm weather has slowed things down a lot. I get a lot of pictures but not new ones or good action shots on the birds. A couple you will need to hunt why I included it.

I accidentally hit Zeus with a water hose, caught a ghost bird coming out of the fog & a doe licking her butt. And they are part of the 11 pictures I saved out of desperation. [::: Gah !! :::.

Feathers, miniature Zeus on the edge of the bird feed basket, young does & maybe a new bird on the rearranged deck feeders whose camera needs more adjusting.

Today, after much wet and much fighting with the deck camera I gathered stuff and got this post out of all of it. It ain’t pretty but I think I got a young roadrunner in the feeder and on cam two there were several good shots of young does and not much else. Cam #1 was sort of a flop which is unusual.

Well. Just Well !!! I think I finally found a good setting for the deck camera. I plan to leave it like that for a while. (last 11 pictures from today) Why? … Pretty Pictures.

Cool pics. I bought a critter cam a few months ago, to put in the woods behind my house in a suburb of Dallas because there had been some people report seeing a mountain lion. I’m thinking they saw a large bobcat. The critter cam was stolen after about three months, but I compiled a video of some of the more interesting clips, including lots of raccoons, coyotes (one has a bob tail), a bobcat, possum, and even a beaver.

This batch has only 21 pictures because I jinxed myself getting all proud of the previous 2 batches. ::: Grump ::: All critters went into ‘blah’ mode. Even Zeus, Nonah & the 6 cats are acting weird today. Maybe smelling some kind of trouble, storms, etc… It is ‘hinky’ enough to get my attention. Time may tell.

It is hotter, The critters are hiding too. I think the cameras are tired too. Blurry pictures from slow shutter speeds or the critters are going to shade quicker… [only 18 pictures. Some kind of interesting.

> [@CurtC](#): > > Which bird was the new one? The rose-breasted grosbeak? No, they have been around for a month or so now but they were new to me then. I am wondering about the slim brownish bird in # 290. It is in shade so I can’t really tell much but I don’t think I have seen it before. But I very well could be mistaken. Hoping to get a better picture or something soon. No luck so far. ☹ ---

Today we have a headless deer, a spooky blue jay that has his shadow appear before he does, two blue jays who are not talking, they must be mad at each other, God is smiling at a Cardinal so he will probably be the next Pope but it appears that he might crash & burn before that happens as he just went into a death dive.
