Sure looks that way. Zoo escapee?

Keeping in theme of this sub, I would encourage you to upcycle them into wren houses. Hold the sole of one boot up to a fence post with the toe pointing towards the ground. Screw through the heel to secure and you’ve got a potential wren house.

Beautiful work, congratulations!

Yes, red-tailed hawk

That is not the beak of a corvid, but an Icterid.

Past the mid forties, I apparently entered into a “constant state of recovery” and as I restore supine deep into my fifties I find myself relying heavily on heat and elixirs

I often repurpose colanders or sieves into feeders as their design allows for drainage of rainwater

Any wren really

Juvenile red-tailed hawk

I believe that is bristly thistle (Cirsium horridulum)

Vermilion flycatcher

It’s a nonprofit used bookstore that’s usually in a room of the library. The proceeds of daily sales and spring/fall book sales go towards projects that support the library. They’re fairly common in California and I believe nationally.

I’ve got a habit of visiting the Friends of the Library bookstore whenever possible
