A standard for the eastern US is the red cardinal. Usually hangs around the same feeder as the blue jay, but for me, the cardinal is much prettier.

Capybaras are very large hamster looking rodents that bark like dogs. Run quickly for very short distances, completely harmless.

Capybaras that had escaped a Toronto zoo had the city enthralled a few years back. Those things are huge!!

Thanks for sharing @Amparo! I did some temp work at an office many years ago which was at the centre of a city zoo, and I always loved seeing the Capybaras on my way to and from work!

Beaver returned, damming up a big culvert. Creek water rising. Removed a big log loosely sitting on top to open a channel. Wait for city public works to remove the dam mud and sticks.

Some of the wildlife from Mum and Dad’s garden! These squirrels are so entertaining and so clever! They seem to recognise us and aren’t shy of watching us watching them from the conservatory!

Sheep keep the Tangamanga park grass trimmed, San Luis Potosi, MX. Camped here for a week (days only) in perfect, cool and dry weather. I am about half way around my 7 mth Big Loop road trip.

Red kites on the Thames path near Henley where we are on a sit. Stunning and captivating to watch them soaring gracefully as we walked alongside the river .

These were extinct in England from 1870s to 1990s but it’s heart warming to see so many now . A conservation success story.
