Birds, A Dog, and a Squirrel

Sometimes in the evening a flock of birds settles in a tall tree in my back yard but after a few minutes they fly off, only to return a few minutes later and repeat the process. I think they are starlings but I only see them in silhouette. 



The rest of today's pictures are from a year ago. The two cardinals are so bright you might miss seeing the sparrow sitting between them. 

The dog walking with a woman looks like a boxer to me. He appeared to enjoy his walk.

The final image shows a squirrel backlit by late afternoon sunlight.

  1. Hello,:=) Lovely captures Linda. I did not see the Sparrow at first, it is well camouflaged,and it's an unusual image. Love your beautifully lit Squirrel photo, and the Cardinal decorated feeder.
    All the best.
