My contribution to Michelle's Nature Notes (#405) and Eileeninmd's Saturday's Critters #158.
Here are Amelia and Miley:

I'm also linking to Anni's I'd Rather B Birdin'. I haven't been out and about too much, so here are the platter birds:

And it's too long since we've had any orbs around here. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or just have a great weekend if that's your thing!

Get your dirty paws off the counter, Miley!!

This horse was in the Park Police corral in Rock Creek Park.

Here's Nutkin!

UPDATE: As it is Saturday (already!), I am also linking to Eileeninmd's Saturday's Critters #156, and Anni's I'd Rather B Birdin'.
