The notorious vagrant and squatter, known as I. M. Squirrel, was served an eviction notice and in due time was evicted at some considerable cost to the householder. No injury to the miscreant and his family was recorded because live traps and one-way gates were employed in the eviction process.
Wow! This is a first for me. I think a Blackburnian warbler is a rare sighting around here and I got a nice picture too. I truly appreciate this site and your help!!! I have really enjoyed getting into birding these last few years.

awww.. I wish we had those here in NW New Mexico. All we have that tucks itself away in places are bark scorpions. I can't cuddle with them. I've tried. O. O
This axis stag was cruising my fence line. He had better confine his wanderings within the residential community in which my home is located. The community forbids discharge of a firearm. As an exotic species he is not protected by Texas game laws and regulations. A farmer or rancher would shoot him, field dress him, and pack him into the deep freeze in little more time than it took me to write this paragraph!
I promise this is a Carolina Wren. We get pictures like this all the time on here, with wrens resting in garages and similar places just like this. It looks bigger because of the feathers on the back/rump being fluffed out.
Group of these feeding mostly high up in the woods. I am guessing this is a male and female of the same type. Seen East of Richmond, VA today. I feel I should know what these are.
thanks,

here are a couple I was lucky enough to get in good light.
