Once again, Iโ€™m eating my words on this oneโ€ฆ..maybe thatโ€™s the key.

Just found this film it looks like she came back about three hours later
Itโ€™s a little Ruby crowned king lit darting around the wildlife pond. I just posted this video, but I came back to eat my words. #Birds

Oh look! She finally gave me a decent film.
Ruby Crowned Kinglet she first starts on the log and then sheโ€™s darting around in the wildlife pond trying to find a place to bathe. Can you keep your eye on her? Itโ€™s not easy. #Birds

Most of the birds that visit me love suet
The exception here are goldfinches and House finches, but they have plenty of seeds in my yard

I have several captures where they are taking baths at the same time in close proximity as well

At least our suet is fresh since weโ€™re going through so much. ๐Ÿ˜†

I think these two are friends, but they havenโ€™t told their respective families yet.

A little while later the female Downy comes #Birds

I go through 2 to 3 squares of suet a day. Isnโ€™t that crazy? All I have up right now is one log feeder shown here and the ground feeder. The log holds two suet squares. There is nothing left on the ground the little ground feeder birds eat it all.

There is no cease-fire for Palestinians. This is only about Israeli hostages.

We know that when one country has impunity from international law, these are just words they mean nothing.

Palestinians have been denied justice, denied their freedom, work criminals, who committed the atrocities are still free and speaking on mainstream media.

Palestinians live under a brutal apartheid, occupation and siege like no other in history. How can there be lasting peace?

You can skip to the very end if you like the Kinglet get on camera for maybe a second.
The yellow Rumped warbler sitting on the log is what tripped the camera

I pretty much have figured out that a Ruby Crowned Kinglet is never going to set off the camera and if I see one itโ€™s going to be accidental, one who just happens to get on film after another bird triggered it. This is the case today. #Birds

At every protest, there is one chant that says everything โ€œno justice no peace.โ€
Never has there been a true statement, a more predictive statement because people cannot live in bondage. They must be free. They cannot live in occupation. They cannot live under apartheid. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

This is why I never checked his feeder 90% of my videos are of this:
A squirrel trying to get through it out of the heater sometimes they actually bite off the ceramic to get to the feeder. Still looking for a perfect suet feeder. There is one in the UK that I want to tryโ€ฆsomeday.

Oh, and look! Here is RedHead. I really should remember to check this camera more often. #Birds

I often forget to check this camera. It usually has a squirrel trying to get through it or a Flicker but today here is a little Bewickโ€™s Wren. She must be sitting on a branch that isnโ€™t showing on the camera, which is very lucky for me. #Birds

Weโ€™re looking at my sidewalk and there is a walkway up to the house the great leafs are shining in the amber light. Thereโ€™s also some orange motion activated lights on the pond behind me honestly so that I can deal with any rats that I see.

I love how my year old wild native grape looks under this amber light.
My house is usually so surrounded by plants and dark that the kids wonโ€™t come up and trick-or-treat so I come to them and sit on the sidewalk. I added a light here when I added the arbor.

Oh look quickly itโ€™s the shy Pacific Wren is here today.
Iโ€™ve now seen three passing thru (or it is the same one staying for a while) so I predict a snowy cold winter and these mostly non-migrates are coming to the Puget Sound lowlands for winter. #Birds
