As most of you know, we have an abundance of wildlife in our yard: squirrels, rabbits, deer, ducks, Canada geese (please may I ship some of those to you?).
Yesterday, as I was out and about doing yard work, I happened to notice something on our old wooden boat.
Normally, they’re very easy to spook and will fly away, squawking up a storm, if you come near them.
But, I was able to get some pictures of this one with my zoom lens.
And, although certainly not the most handsome of birds…
…I couldn’t help but think that he resembled a figurehead on our “ship”.

Oh I love him! He is the perfect embellishment for your boat!
Pretending to be Captain no doubt!

Such perfect timing for Fourth of July. Even of feathered friends respect the flag!! Love love these pictures, as you knew I would. Happy Fourth to the Keen family and Wildlife Sanctuary!
You and JR have the coolest and most wonderful yard in the world!!!!. Such beauty and fun creatures. ❤
Very nice! Better a figurehead on the ship than a hood ornament on your car. 😉
Looks right at home there !
Perfect!
Love it! You just never know what’s going to turn up, do you? Glad we get to see.
Ahoy, matie! Nice photos!
Beautiful photos! And he’s the same color as the boat too:)
