Sometimes it is important to stop and take care of scritches.

Good morning. ☕☕☕

It stormed last night (I think) and we apparently lost power. I didn't notice until this morning. Which is just fine.

I let the dogs out and made coffee as usual. But when I let the dogs out, I noticed something small running across the yard. Charlie was hot on its trail. But whatever it was, (rabbit or squirrel) it disappeared through the hole under the fence.

"For disappearing acts, it's hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work." - Doug Larson

Focus on the good things.

This is an ever so slightly out of focus greater yellowlegs. In the background is part of a more in focus black neck stilt. Surrounding them both is water and reflections. Put it all together and it's not hard to look at.

"Often referred to as a “marshpiper” for its habit of wading in deeper water than other sandpipers, the Greater Yellowlegs is heftier and longer-billed than its lookalike, the Lesser Yellowlegs. Greater Yellowlegs are seen mostly during migration, as they pass between nesting grounds in the mosquito-ridden bogs of boreal Canada and wintering territories on marshes across the southern tier of the United States. With its flashy yellow legs, sturdy bill, and deliberate gait, it cuts a dashing, often solitary, figure on mudflats from coast to coast." - allaboutbirds.org

A greater and lesser yellowlegs at the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in late July. Note that the greater is not only larger, but also has a proportionally longer beak.
