Believe it or not some people actually complain when an elk visits their yard, but to me its a privilege to have one of these reintroduced and once extinct (since late 18th century) creatures pay a visit and a little grass mowing, tree trimming and fertilization is just a bonus.

This amazing creature showed up in the Backyard recently, could it possibly be a North American Red Panda thought to be extinct for 5 millions years - or more likely just about the strangest Raccoon you are ever going to see. The Red Panda and the Raccoon are distant relatives. This huge fellow is unusual for his red color, heavy body, huge front and rear paws that are way out of proportion to its body (rear feet look like about a size 6) and that bobbed tail. This guy has been around awhile and is a magnificent creature to behold closeup. Raccoons active in the daytime are not that unusual especially back in the "jungle" where these live.

Can we all just agree that Virginia Opossums are just downright cute and lovable? True they have the most sharp teeth of any mammal (50) and they have huge front feet and long claws on the back for digging, but they are rare North American marsupials with opposable thumbs just like us and those cute ears and eyes and pink nose - rarely seen in the daytime around here who can resist their charm as it finishes up the left over crows kibbles and bits. Perhaps it is that hairless tail that turns some people off? Possums are also good to have around the Backyard as they keep the venomous snakes in check they eat cockroaches, rats and mice and help to keep tick populations down so if you see a possum enjoy and say thank you.

The new graduates of the Backyard Youth Squirrel Academy are out and about en mass - not sure exactly how many as they don't hold still long, but something on the order of six to 8. They are out exploring the Backyard in May and generally more interested in checking things out and frolicking than looking for food - that will soon change. Note toward the end when an adult comes down to chase them out of the tree that you can then see the relative size difference. The young ones have nice bright white belly fur and energy to spare - just don't be tempted to mess with the Marsh Rabbits.....https://youtu.be/SVmtZDRwTgQ

Squirrel versus Rabbit! Squirrel challenges small young Marsh Rabbit - who as a true martial arts master does not use his secret weapon until pushed to the limit.
This fledgling female Northern Cardinal is clearly Daddy's Girl! With cardinals you always know whether its the Mom or Dad doing the feeding and the Father Cardinal is usually responsible for a significant portion of the feeding.

One of my Backyard Squirrel Buddies contracted the dreaded Squirrel Pox Virus and I had to have him put down (euthanasia) after a long battle. Most of the recent research into the squirrel pox disease has been done in Great Britain where native Red Squirrels usually die from it, but Gray Squirrels do not generally show symptoms or die from it. Much less is known about its prevalence in the US, but having spent many years with squirrels I can say I have never seen it before until now, and its something I hope I ever don't see again.
This Tufted Titmouse is making very clear and loud alarm calls on his own reflection and attacking the window. I have been using a clear window feeder for several years like this one on Amazon https://amzn.to/2JRlsGL. They are great and fun feeders and this Tufted Titmouse is the first bird to find its reflection in the window offensive - Titmice are frequent visitors to this feeder. See for example the Titmice using this same feeder in the past: https://youtu.be/lhNdLTMPq_k So maybe this guy is just wound a little too tight, and it is nesting season, but in any case birds attacking their reflection is not an uncommon problem for birdwatchers and it is not fun to watch. This Titmouse was transfixed by his own reflection even when I put my camera and face right in front of him and I know he could see me and putting down the interior blinds did not help. Generally anything you do to the inside of the window wont help much as the mirror effect remains and in fact covering the inside of a window can make the outside more mirror-like. This guy relaxed and settled down after a few hours, but if the problem were to persist you could try and cover a small window such as this from the outside with fake snow spray or aluminum foil. There are a number of products on Amazon such as this scare tape https://amzn.to/2IhX8ee that might be worth a try if the problem persisted. Once you go to this link other products will be suggested. All is quiet now as the little Titmouse has habituated to his reflection and adjusted - that is usually, but not always the outcome.

Mother and newly fledged baby Song Sparrow were out well before the sun came up having breakfast. A good test of the Canon SX70 in low light - its clear enough considering the conditions and high ISO of like 6400 due to the darkness. We can still see enough detail to enjoy this time of year when the next generation of Backyard Birds are getting out of the nest!
