I was finally able to get a clear pic of the Scaly-breasted Munia (aka Spotted Munia and other names) so I could query what it is. Native to tropical Asia. Hmmm. Wonder who brought them here? Lots by the creek. Pretty.

The snowy egret was high in a tree this morning because two coyotes were running around by the creek. The crows were squawking, ducks quacking loudly and squirrels chattering loudly. All wildlife was on high alert!

The great egret (big) was fishing in the creek yesterday. I have a video of him catching a crawdad. Never a dull wildlife moment on my walks.

These are stunning pictures.

Great bird photos!!! Our former creek, now marsh, is so filled with silt that our resident heron can't live in our little valley any more...hardly any frogs due to all the silt in the marsh. An egret used to fly in, as though he/she was considering making this home, but the heron engaged the egret in great swooping aerial battles, often right outside my office window. I really miss the froggy chorus every evening!
Thursday, one of the deer, smelling sunflower seeds in a feeder affixed to the big glass in our front door to the deck, clomped up the steps onto the deck. She wasn't able to reach the hanging fuchsia basket, but spent some time peering right in the door and checking all the seed hulls on the mat. She couldn't reach the sunflower seed feeder affixed to the top of the glass. This is the first time one of the deer has come up onto the deck, so it was a real surprise. Unfortunately, it was early without much light, and impossible to use a flash because it would flare on the glass door. I've attached two photos of the doe on the deck and one of one of the does with twin fawns.

@californiazebra, @johnbishop, @loribmt, @gingerw, and all...oh, my goodness. These are magnificent shots of magnificent creatures...thank you so much for sharing your special neighbors. You are blessed!
I'm sending you pictures outside the windows at Mayo Florida, Jacksonville. The Mayo Building recently was renovated and a wonderful new atrium opening to some cultured nature outside a huge wall of windows. I was taking a stroll with my hot pink walker after a Reclast IV Infusion last Tuesday. I enjoyed the walk to the gift shop a building away, and thought you, my friends.
So, I'm sharing that days view I enjoyed prior to being flat down for 3 days in pain, groaning and spasms in muscles and bones, entire body. So glad I enjoyed this before my reaction began!
Blessings to all...Elizabeth
