The peanut lover decided to squawk up a storm in the cedar trees. Plenty of peanuts. Problem= one human near the watering hole.

The Gold Standard- Quaking Aspens
Meadowlarks in the Back Pasture
A stroll out to the back pasture revealed some interesting residents. Meadowlarks and kestrels.
While I was out there to check the fenceline I received numerous cat calls from the meadowlarks.
