My Blue Jays are starting to cache their extra peanuts in my garden. I'm happy they have made me a regular stop on their route because that means they will keep coming back. Although they don't stop by at the same time or even every day, my dog has learned their calls have meaning to me, and when he hears them, he barks to let me know so I can run outside with their peanuts.

A fledgling sparrow just out of the nest perches on a wire in the golden light of the sundown.
This crow looks pretty proud of himself, I don't know what he's done but I bet it was clever.

Peek a boo bird kept ducking behind this tree trunk. I was lucky to be able to grab a quick reference photo before it flew off.
An iconic image of a wolf howling. A recent study posits that certain of our domestic dog breeds howl because they are genetically closer to a wolf. And suggests they have retained the ability to interpret the howls meanings.
Ravens are sometimes called wolf birds for their close association and cooperation with wolves.
Bonded wolves are loyal and look out for each other similar to how our domestic dogs protect us.
Is it safe to come out? A sparrow hides in the trumpet vine waiting for the neighborhood hawk to leave the area.
The wolf stands among the sage plants, their silvery-green leaves creating a contrast against the wolf's coat.
What do wolves think about? Do they wonder about what they will find to eat? Do they worry about when a loved one will return? Do they contemplate if they have chosen a good place to live? Do they worry about the intrusion of wolves from other packs who might harm them? This wolf appears to be thinking deeply about something.
Seeing a dove in my yard always makes me feel calm. They are such gentle creatures, never scrapping or fighting with other birds. They usually just step aside and yield the right of way. They like to find a sunny spot on the ground and take a nap.
