His cheeks are full of seeds.

This little Camera Critter is so dumb. He comes out when the doberman is outside and then he almost gets caught. Then he makes chipping sounds for hours. I hope he doesn’t get caught but he needs to be more careful.

ABC Wednesday is featuring the letter J. I took this Blue Jay photo in my backyard and it turned out pretty well.

On June 1st, I started my very own prairie study in a part of Deer Run Forest Preserve. I am calling it Dakota’s Prairie Study (DPS) and will be studying the area until late fall or longer.

The area is surrounded by trees on two sides and more prairie on another side. The last side is a farm field that has not been planted with anything. I have found a lot of birds so far in the field and different insects and plants too.
