As I bike along the dyke, a sudden movement behind me caught my attention. It was a cat...with something in its mouth. A bird? As I quickly took out my camera, the cat already crossed the trail and headed towards someone's home.
I believe the prey was a Red-winged Blackbird from the initial looks of it.
I guess this homely cat still got its animal instincts!
It was good to see old familiar animals again, like mallards and this Great Blue Heron.Maybe it was the experience I gained this summer, but I am quite interested in cavity nesters now, such as this Northern Flicker.
This male just perched on top of the dead tree and drumming loudly on it every 3 minutes or so, and then looking around. I wonder what was the purpose of that? Territory, perhaps.
Snow Geese have arrived home. And so have I.
