 A chickadee at the bird feeder after those spikes were added to keep the squirrels away--it did not!

A chaffinch looking at me through a cloudy window.

The usual gull around Illinois lakes.

The spotted gull that I saw on the Michigan Lake beach, which google says is a younger bird.

The naughty squirrel lying on the outside cushion box after her depradations on the bird feeder.
