Second pup (right) in family of two adults and two pups.

startled by a passing car, then got hazed by some random person ("why aren't you wearing a collar, huh? get out of here!"). worst offense: casually digging a hole in the former general's yard.

Lots of froglets. This population has had a rough start but a good 2022

Soooooo cute

Could this be a Plainfin Midshipman? Somewhat purplish yellow, before it became muddy. Very pretty.

Is the yellow one a Lesser Goldfinch?

the first photo is actually the last photo in the series for identification. The series shows the Kestrel eating a dragonfly in flight. It bit the head off.

Coyote with Jackrabbit

Was bird watching when I noticed there was a coyote sitting right below where I was standing. It was a hot day and the coyote appeared to be cooling off in a shaded depression.

At first I mistook it for a Chestnut Rumped Heathwren.
It wasn't until a local pointed out the white wing spot ...:D
