Nothing out of the ordinary lately except a chipping sparrow, which I don’t see (or maybe notice) very often. Noticeably missing this season are the house wrens, though I have a house and a gourd available for rent. Always enjoy hearing the noisy little bastards, the most noise per pound (gram) around here.
Wifey had to release five blueberry thieves from the nets yesterday including a bluejay, which is unusual for them.

New one for me. Possibly a black rail. Best I can figure it was.
Arkansas along US65 south of Clinton. Compactish very dark waterbird in flight. Much smaller than the egrets. Not a gallinule nor coot, though I did interact with an old coot in Little Rock.
Our brood of (2/5 hatched) parakeets is fully dead now. Mom seems sickly. We're hell on pets.

Cormorant?
There’s a colony on the Shenandoah not far from here, just off the Rt. 7 bridge. Seem to prefer to roost in the sycamores that predominate along that river.
My wife interacts with an old coot on a daily basis, poor thing!

Oh no. Wayyy smaller. If there was a tiny black egret! Totally new to me. Not something that occurs out west.

Today? Almost nothing. I'm inside in a warehouse shop all day. Just the usual grackles, starlings, and house sparrows outside the window. Buzzards are always around. I paid no attention to anything driving to or from work.
Last weekend on the road, though, I saw about a bazillion red wing blackbirds, lots of barn swallows under every bridge I passed, herons, egrets, probably a Canada goose or two, several ospreys, one bald eagle, red tail hawks, a kestrel, and no telling how many "backyard birds" like cardinals, robins, etc.

We’re down to goldfish now (one). About as low-maintenance as it gets, and no major emotional distress when they go under.
Do have a squirrel that has no proper regard for its place in the scheme of things around here. Made the mistake of giving him a couple of shelled pecans instead of peanuts and the next day he turned his nose up at the peanuts liked he’d been eatin’ pecans all his life, the fugger!

Cowbirds, Cardinals, And Grosbeaks are messy eaters... Stick their beak in the seed and fling it all over creation. Now I've got a sizeable herd of rabbits waiting on them to do it again.
I let the beagle out earlier and she tried to run 4 ways at once
