    I saw a seven spot ladybird on my squash plants recently - have not seen one for years, mostly the harlequin ones nowadays, if at all.
    That reminded me that I haven't seen an earwig for ages, although our current garden is in a quite different location with different vegetation which might account for it.

    We've got a new raccoon living with the ground hog under the deck and we need to find a philosopher to name it after.

    My husband entertained himself by hooting while I was sitting outside with the Merlin app this morning, and it duly recorded a Tawny Owl! It did have a red dot indicating "unlikely" next to it.

    My husband is very pleased with himself.

    That explains why you are still together.

    He's a hoot to be with.

    Dafling minor once convinced Merlin she was a bewicks swan.

    We just had a significant fraction of a murmuration settle rather noisily on the power cables just over the road. Merlin was eventually able to separate out enough to confirm that, yes, starlings.

    Merlin was confused enough by chickens to think they were jackdaws.

    Meanwhile, saw my first hummingbird hawkmoth of the year today.

    My Merlin app ignores next door’s chickens. It does get distracted by noise though, so if there are lots of crows around it can’t hear anything else.

    Mrs. Gramps went to the neighborhood park. She reports seeing a family of muskrats there in one of the ponds.
