Meloetta is ready for rehearsal.
Saw this while walking around the neighborhood the other day. #spooky
Frankly, I’m more surprised by the fact that the pay phone is STILL THERE than that it’s not in use, never mind *why*.

A pair of (I think) Western Bluebirds spotted an a late-afternoon walk. #birds

Not 100% certain on the ID, but I do see Western Bluebirds the area regularly.
Shady path
We have a flock – or more likely several flocks – of feral parakeets in town. I saw these two going after the sunflowers in someone’s front yard.

Finches
Garden Gnomes
The kids' event at the South Coast Botanic Garden this month(?) is a search for #gnomes that have been scattered around the grounds.
Caught in the act
I spotted this squirrel as it ran up to the trash can opening. Once it decided I wasn’t going to leave, it jumped down, then ran past the trash can and apparently found something to eat, though I couldn’t see what.
Mourning Dove
I swear I’d lose my head if it wasn’t screwed on…wait, there it goes…

Flapping Finches
I startled a group of around four or five finches on a lawn and they flew up to the nearest cables.
Two monarch butterflies flying around and chasing each other (slowly) down the block.

We really mean it!
I saw this squirrel a few lots down the street while I was out walking.
I saw this #squirrel a few lots down the street while I was out walking. It paused. I paused. I got my camera out. It stood up to look around. I kept my camera out. Then it slowly ran down the street almost but not quite in my direction until it passed about 4 feet away, then paused in the shade before continuing on its way. I think it started trying to determine whether I was a threat or not, and then whether I was likely to give it food or leave it alone. #nature

At Target yesterday. This would have been unbelievable a year ago.
Yeah, I realize my explanation for why I’m out here is a bit Farfetch’d, but it’s the truth. You wanna make something of it?

California Ground Squirrel
I see tree squirrels around town all the time, but this is the first ground #squirrel I’ve spotted in ages. You can tell by the narrower tail. and the pattern of the fur.
And when I moved too fast it dove into the hole instead of running off.
I’ve seen so many tree squirrels since I started on iNat, I can’t even remember the last time I saw a ground squirrel. At least, I think it’s a ground squirrel – something about the head shape, plus the narrower tail. And the iNat AI seems to agree.
Plus it was sitting in a hole and rushed underground instead of running away when I moved too quickly.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!
