Alabama Wildlife, Kinda

Here are some photos from the past few days. I realized they are all animal related. I also realized I need a loooonnnng, FAST lens so I can take better pictures without being right up on the darn things. Maybe one day 🙂

First off, I would like to let you all know that one morning we went out to see Layla’s pine cone bird feeder picked clean. We were very excited that the birds took to it and couldn’t wait to see one in action. The next morning as I’m walking through this back room I glance out the window to this…
(right about now that long fast lens would come in handy. My 70-300 just doesn’t like being at full length)

Can you believe the little turd?? Hanging upside down to eat my peanut butter and seed.

“What???”

That’s ok. I’m sure this guy will take care of those little turdlings for me.

And then we got to Melissa’s house where she has the fun animals. Like the 300 hummingbirds that fly around her dining room window.

They’re not the only ones though that love to drink from her 90 humming bird feeders

I think one of Layla’s favorite things to do there is watch them fly around the window. I guess that means we should get some feeders? They prolly wouldn’t come to my house.

And last one…its not actually an animal. After all day and night rain this is what was waiting for me. Its out lake. I knew it flooded a bit but good grief it was almost onto the porch
