"Frito Bandito"
I was eating fritos at my post back when I was a guard at the Intel plant. I dropped one and this little fella (a scrub jay) came and scooped it up almost as soon as it was on the ground!
I wasn't too worried since Fritos are basically just corn, oil, and salt so nothing a bird can't digest in small amounts.
(Also if anyone could send my husband and I some Fritos I'd be glad, they're almost impossible to find here).

Bei meiner Mama sind die Meisen geschlüpft und werden tüchtig gefüttert.
Darf man eine Durchschnittssumme Küken dazuzählen? 😁

@yngmar @NatureMC Oops! I'd forgotten that Storks and Cranes are two different birds. (Sorry! City dweller 🤭).

And wow, are they tall! (See alt text).

A few more of my bird photos from this afternoon.

This may have been the first time I've managed to get some decent photos of a bird as small and flighty as this fairy wren.

I think this is a male in his "eclipse plumage", i.e. the less colourful feathers they wear outside of the breeding season.

@Thomas_Llama and I saw a merlin (𝘍𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴) while walking through the neighborhood this morning!

Too far away to get a decent picture, but I'm posting it nonetheless because it was a cool moment.

We had a nocturnal visitor!

From the abundance of little meadow voles in our yard, there is now one (or two?) fewer.
