Sometimes animals can be such a handful! Early this morning I woke up to the sound of our dog sifting through the recycle bin and licking tin cans. The last time our dog ate trash it was a messy situation . . .

For anyone who hasn't noticed, nearly all my bird shots are of mockingbirds, because for some reason that's all we have here at our house. Well, today I discovered what's REALLY going . . .

Today was in the high 50's and sunny, although a bit windy. The deeper part of the lake is still frozen, the wind was whipping the water. The seagulls love the wind and are fun to watch.
