From the Ground to the Treetop

 Green anole on the ground. The longest tail I've seen on one.

 New bird in the tree and pecking on the window. He has a long beak, a pale yellow breast, and a melodious call of two notes. I think it's a Western Kingbird, his breast seems too pale to be a Tropical Kingbird.

Crow's nest in the treetop. A pair has been taking turns bringing food for a couple of weeks.

  4. Don't you just love those little Anoles? We usually have a few that hang out by the front door and on my hanging baskets. Of course if they get inside the house, they are in big trouble with the 6 cats (I do try to rescue them from the inside cats - but they have to fend for themselves with the outside ones).

  5. Anoles are adorable. The other day one jumped off the studio roof and landed on a table full of bisqued pots that we had just unloaded. I had never seen one jump that distance before!

  7. My kids had an aquarium with little green anoles years ago. The cats would sit on a footstool and watch like it was a TV set. I bet a lot of wild anoles fall prey to kittys.

  10. Hi Midori, thanks, a little better today, isn't that the most serene color.

    Hi Suzi, thanks, I think we've launched almost into summer, we are expecting some 90 days this week.

    Hi Rian, thanks, I didn't realize you had six cats, those poor lizards. My cat brought one in from the pool deck and the tail was wiggling out her mouth. I screamed at her and she dropped him and I was able to rescue him.

    Hi Michele, thanks, wow that is some amazing feat jumping that far.

    Hi Ms. Sparrow, thanks, I think you are right about the cats, we had a stray here not too long ago and all the lizards were missing their tails.

    Hi Elna, thanks, yes the green color is so beautiful to see especially against the white sidewalk.

    Hi Elephant's Child, thanks, I wish I had gotten a better photo of the birds to show, maybe next time.
