In the wild: Animals edition

What is that @ARNC ?

[ARNC]

@sabergirl Reeves's muntjac. They’re fairly common near me but don’t often come into the garden.

[sabergirl]

Cool! We don’t have those over here. Thanks

[Bridger]

I think people looked at importing muntjacs into the US, but determined it was too dear

[Giles]

Ouch

Two of them today.

A midnight encounter on the way home. Not sure who was more surprised.

This was after I had nearly walked into it on the path and it had partially run away. No flash as it wasn’t going to hang around while I changed settings.

A first for me: A Black-chinned hummingbird. Spotted outside my kitchen window this morning.

The first Rufous of the season showed up this morning. That makes three different species in the last 24 hours. (Anna’s are year round residents.)

Will try to get a pic on my way home tomorrow morning at 4am of the power line with at least 6 kookaburras that seem to make it their perch of choice

Going to be babies soon.
