Greedy little critter. The 4 legged one. The two legged one is just curious.
This little chipmunk chewed the cover off the feeder then ate his way to captivity.
He had to be released by the hand that feeds him. We did get a good laugh.
While all the above activity was taking place "our buddy" watched until the chipmunk scurried away. At that point he just had to see what was in the feeder.
The road home.
I told you it was getting cooler.
This coyote was headed to the brush on a dead out run as soon as he saw me stop.
Ryan B. Did you catch this sighting on the way home?
This struck me as one of the stranger perching locations I've seen. I believe this Killdeer is sitting on a pile of lime.

Additional backyard wonders.
Both of these photos were taken in the backyard when I returned home from work today.

We do love to fish.
My dad would have loved to have had an opportunity to fish with "number 6". I sure do.
Male Calico Pennant dragonfly (see below) on our second most favorite lake. Sawdust Bayfield County WI.
Update: Via Ryan Brady the ID on the dragonfly is a male Calico Pennant.
I think rather than referring to Ryan as "the bird guy" I'm going to refer to him as "the winged guy". It seems if it has wings he knows about it. Thanks Ryan!
For Mom and Dad S in La Crosse WI.
Visiting the farmers market.
UPDATE:
A blocked parking lot? What's the gain?
This makes NO sense.
1. Block off a city block. At least 2/3 of it.
2. Move from the adjacent paking lot (above) to gain available parking space.
3. Then close off the parking lot reducing available parking space.
Seems to me it creates LESS access to the farmers market and the other business. DUMB!
Not everything in our yard is edible.
Angel's trumpet.
Angel's trumpet. These flowers are short lived. They only last about 24 hours then they wilt away. But for a short time they are beautiful.
