Yup. And they are generally no more interested in interacting with you than you are with them. Ours stay well fed with a good rabbit/chipmunk/squirrel population. We've even seen them catching bullfrogs at our neighborhood ponds.

I’ve seen them in AZ, I’ve even seen huge rattlers, but not here in the Burbs. Lol.

All the black birds are back. Is it spring? It snowed this morning after being warmer

Haven't seen the red wings yet, but bird activity has been increasing here, too.

Hummers bombarded me in the garage yesterday so I put out a feeder.

I only see maybe 2 red wingers in the summer, there was a whole flock, the few regulars must have brought the whole flock by. Lol
Outside this evening before sundown and heard a screech owl trilling somewhere nearby, so I grabbed the binoculars and spied one in the screech owl house we put up a couple years ago. This is the first time we've observed owls in or around the nest box since we put it up. It will be interesting to see what happens!

I get them all summer long, but I live near a wetland area, so they fly over to eat.

This skunk comes to my backyard once in a while, he was by my pond last night, this morning he was still running around. I have the video, but not sure if you can post them up directly.

I went in the woods today for the first time in a long time.
Red-winged Blackbirds were all over the place.
Five deer were running through a former farm field that's turning into a park with soccer fields. In fact, you can see a sign in the background that shows what the future plans are when they can get the money to achieve it. I had been hoping they'd do something more natural in this area, but I'll take a park/play area over businesses any day.
The stream was flowing, but not as much as I expected. Looks like I missed the peak flow by a week or so.

These trees are in my Sub, it reminds me of a tree in a horror film. The first tree is scary.

Saw my second-ever Kestrel today. Also saw a GBH, Western Chorus frogs were calling, Sandhill Cranes were calling, and I saw a garter snake. It's definitely spring.
