Looking Up At A Bird Feeder
A wet, bedraggled Raccoon eyes up a bird feeder in the yard. After 18 hours of rain it wandered into the yard looking for something to eat.
A look back at some of my personal favorite square photos from previous months of squares. Some were popular, some not so popular at the time.

Two Trumpeter Swans in front of some autumn colour. Photographed on a pool near Isaac Lake on the South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario recently.
Trumpeter Swans were almost hunted to extinction in Canada. They are making a slow recovery due to various reintroduction schemes.
It’s not really a bird photo so not a Flora and Fauna Friday post. And as I had taken my bag of auto-focus zooms that day it’s not a Getting Back to Basics post either.
Seven Of A Kind
Seven young Great Tits in a specially constructed nestbox at Faddiley near Nantwich in southern Cheshire, England.
I spent a week looking at this photo on the contents page of the Radio Times without recognising it as one of mine.

Two Of A Kind
Two summer plumage American Avocets feeding on a slough near Punnichy, Saskatchewan. Although the photo is as much about the ripples as the birds.
Plus I’ve always liked the two drops of water falling from the males bill. I say it’s a male because the bill is straighter than the bird in the background. The more curved bill means that the background bird is a female.

My Throwback Thursday post this week is a follow-up to last week’s post, a Red Deer stag with his harem.
This photo was taken later in the afternoon after I had spent time working my way closer to the herd.
This is a Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) hind (female) with her calf. A Red Deer fawn is known as a calf.
They were part of a stags harem but I was able to isolate them after working my way closer.
January Squares: Up #11
Singing Up in spring. A displaying male Yellow-headed Blackbird photographed near Punnichy, Saskatchewan. I’ve always liked the enthusiasm of the bird with its open bill and spread tail.
