I had the opportunity to photograph four of these baby skunks in my backyard recently. I kept a safe distance from our deck but it was very hard to get a shot with its head up. We live very close to an Urban National Park so at times we get some visitors, birds are more welcome. They lived under a shed in my neighbours yard and an adult was never seen.

This s a very rare warbler and a hybrid, a cross between the Golden-winged and Blue-winged warbler. Although a hybrid it can still interbreed with the above birds as well as the other hybrid the Brewster's Warbler. I visited several times but was only lucky once in seeing it.

The warblers are finally starting to arrive every day we see a few more, my favorite time of the year.

After the hawk flew off the light pole in the previous image it landed on the ground nearby with another catch.

Another look at the Bluebirds this time the pair, so happy to see them as there is not much around this time of the year.
Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends.
