December sun sets far to the south and west, through the trees. We haven’t been seeing much in the way of sunsets this month; lots of cloudy weather at the wrong time of day.
Today we had a herd of Pine Siskins in the bird feeder, and a lone Evening Grosbeak was yelling at the top of a tree. Normally we don’t see just one Evening Grosbeak on their own; he had lost his flock and was yelling about it until they come back and find him, or somebody else finds him like one of the predators which hang around our yard from time to time.
Speaking of predators, here is Mishkin waiting for me to come inside from taking a picture, and looking innocent.
Mishkin: truly in fine form!
