Raccoon – What’s Behind The Mask?

Raccoon

What’s Behind The Mask? What’s behind the mask? It’s funny you should ask Does it help your sight
in the dark of night?
Or hide what some could see–a face that mischief be? So pales the cryptic ruse Those eyes do not excuse A case of devilment The mask does complement ~ Poem and Raccoon capture, What’s Behind The Mask? © Jerry L. Ferrara

Pine Siskin – To The Rescue

Pine Siskin

To The Rescue The plum tree in our yard is heavily infested with plant lice this year. Look closely at the leaves. Yet, the Pine Siskins [members of the Finch family] and others are coming to the rescue. This one has a morsel it just gleaned at the tip of its beak. ~ Anecdote and Pine Siskin capture, To The Rescue © Jerry L. Ferrara
