This Raccoon comes into our back yard to eat the sunflower seeds we put on the ground for the Doves.

Eastern Grey Squirrel

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 19, 2023

Every morning I chase this squirrel back down into the woods to save the suet for the woodpeckers. Some days he is so persistent in returning that I have to squirt him with the water hose before he gives up!

Have a fun weekend!

Hummingbirds

My Corner of the World and Wild Bird Wednesday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 16, 2023

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Archilochus colubris, drinking sugar-water from the feeder on our front porch this morning. Only the males have red throats. These two are either females or juveniles.

They are migratory birds - by mid-September they will be gone until their return in the Spring.

Have a great day!

And I have a half-dozen Althea shrubs with this pink-red color combo.

The Crape Myrtles are just beginning to bloom.

I often see this pretty donkey way out in its pasture, but one day it was close the road. Stop! Get a photo!
