What's outside of your picture window today?

@ess77 It will really be interesting to get your report on wild bird seed with chili peppers! We have squirrels around here, but I decided not to hang any bird feeders. There are lots of places for all the birds to feed. Feeders would draw the hawks and kestrels in for quick snackies of unaware small birds! We are inundated with robins, scrubjays, chickadees, thrush, mockingbirds, and woodpeckers right now.

Hey John this is outside my window Pacific Ocean beyond horizon You can barely see the bridge but that's the port of Long Beach where cargo ships come in

Nice view!! and definitely better than here.

@lioness I forgot to mention that I lived in Long Beach when I was in the Navy. We had an apartment above a garage that was a few blocks from downtown closest to the Navy base.

@johnbishop That's cool in Los Alamitos there is a big base Navy,Air force also I think when the triathlon was there I volunteered base is hugh

@gingerw Ginger, i'll let you know how the squirrels respond. I dont't want to harm or even make them unhappy, but I think a bit or control is in order......also, help keep it cleaner....Thankfully, the hunters above are more frequently a bit away and these birds can escape very well. I've had a couple of nests in a large live oak outside my front door that were raieded with quite a war, hoards of birds of all kinds running to the rescue.
Last year, Mr. Owl, a huge old owl living on our property since I have, posted on one of the limbs i this treel He was frozen. It was amazing to watch as this large, dark shadow sat motionless while multitudes of wild birds were flying around the tree, in and out of the limbs, for over an hour as I watched, I didn't see him leave, nor what if any damage was done and no evidence on the ground, so perhaps my birds won that battle.
It was quite a battle. I now have a little nest in my mailbox, on the wall beside my front door that's pretty active. Wonder why there? She may have abandoned the nest since the mailman did put some mail in when she was working.....we'll see...blessings, Ginger and enjoy your world! Feel well...elizabeth

Here's a picture of a Amyrelious flowers gone but I kept the plant look now at how big is he leaves have gotten.Thats a snapdragon besides it buds on it

@lioness @johnbishop. I used to live in Long Beach decades ago on Ocean Blvd, and I worked in the round building on that street. Used to walk the beach there. Had some good memories living there.

@johnbishop
Nice
Just wack off their heads and you’re ready to go.
Bon appétit,
Jake

@becsbuddy, I'm sure you are more than ready for warmer days for your walks. However, your snow capture photos are lovely!
