A queue of Blue Jays at the peanut feeder. It isn't always FIFO (first in, first out); sometimes a waiting Jay will be looking off in space when another one takes the next spot.

TIL the source of Monday's household crisis was the power consumption of the printer >> what the little UPS could handle (the wireless router was affected, 3 ppl couldn't work).

Mercy sakes, our printer is a hog.

Critters at home: 1: imperious-looking Blue Jay, 2: expectant squirrel (I realized I may be able to tell them apart from the ears, this one has some injuries), 3: white-breasted nuthatch in a classic, no neck pose, 4: one of the many, many chickadees.

Northern Mockingbirds at home, doing what they do best: getting to the top of a tree and singing their little hearts out. #xp

Celosia at the farm, on top of a compost pile. The seeds must have come in with someone's garden clippings; there have been a few large celosia plants at that location for the last 2 summers. There's one bloom in this photo that has fasciation / cresting. #xp

Plant-pumpkin II was starting to degrade, so I planted it in the flowerbed. #xp

Is this a new variety of academic spam? (podcasts where ... you don't speak). #xp

A hibiscus flower in October ... these plants were hit by frost, but were still going in early November. [It has been a strange weather year here.] #xp

Um, what is it you want, human?

I'm playing around with video a bit. The peanut feeder is very popular! Here's a downy woodpecker, hanging upside down, pecking away.

[Video alt: the feeder is a wreath-style peanut feeder, hanging from a shepherd's hook-style holder. The bird is small & has its tail propped]
