I thought I would show you a few of the visiting critters around my home.I feed some to keep them from under my feet . I only know one of thems name.They are not my cats they are my sons Kevin's.
Some I broke a bag and yep it was found.
The lady Cardnial found it in the old bird cage first.
She then hopped in and began to eat.
The the male follows shortly behind.I think he is a beauty.
The fat little hummingbird watching the feeder to keep all the others away.
A very dirty little fat frog catching bugs on my porch .He has spider webs on his feet and dirt all over him .
One cleaner little frog eating bugs too.
Then on my passion flower a very coated in pollin bumble bee.

Nice cats. Your cardinal is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind having him around here.  Frogs are a favourite of mine, and your humming bird is certainly a tough one. I'm afraind your bumble bee has flown away, because I can't see it on the passion flower. That is lovely too!

I do so love to see piccies of the wildlife that visits you Glenda. I don't think I'd be too happy about all those cats though as I'm allergic to them.

Where's Oreo? Doesn't he hang around your yard? We have a BIG dove that is always on the wire or fence. He's been there so much that Chance thinks he belongs and doesn't bark at him anymore. Maybe he thinks it's a safe place to be. Hunters would certainly like him since he's so big. I've never understood hunting doves and quail. Oh, well! dooley

Oreo is here but its so hot I have to pick him up and carry him out .He refuses until the sun goes down.I carry him out all day.He just likes to roam once he is out but when I am taking flowers, birds or butterfies I leave him in.

Looks like time to have some momma cats fixed or you will be overwhelmed by them....at least they might keep the mice population down.
I love seeing the cardinals at the feeders. I have had more since I started putting out the dry corn/peanut/sunflower mix...more BlueJays and Mockingbirds too.

Toni I would have them fixed but they don't belong at my house as Kevin lives next door and the dogs across from Kevin keeps killing them.He did have about 20 of them.Just about 7 left.
