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.
Caught in the act

Flapping Finches
I startled a group of around four or five finches on a lawn and they flew up to the nearest cables.

House Sparrow
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?

Anita Donut
Yeah, I could use one too, but it turns out they don’t have any at this time of day.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve had a donut since last March. I used to only have them when someone brought a box in at work, or occasionally I’d stop by a donut shop on the way to work. Neither of those have happened for a while.
Canada Goose
Most of the geese were toward the back of the park, not out front like they are sometimes.
American Coot
Sometimes I’ll see a whole flock of coots at this pond, sometimes a handful. Today I only saw one.
Black Phoebe
Conifers
I don’t think I’ve seen this variety of succulent flowering before. It looks like an overturned Ferroseed or the plant version of the Omnidroid from The Incredibles.

Crows and Ravens
This crow started swooping toward a hawk almost as soon as it perched on top of an electrical transmission tower. It tried a bunch of times to scare it off, but the hawk ignored it.
Red-tailed Hawk (on transmission tower, May)
This hawk glided across the sky, then alighted on top of an electrical transmission tower. Almost immediately, a crow started trying to scare it off, swooping toward it repeatedly. The hawk remained unfazed and just stayed put while I walked around to the other side of the tower.

Warning, schmorning. I perch where I want!

(To be fair, the kingbird is unlikely to dig into the pipeline. Or damage the sign. Much.)
