Caterpillar Crossing 

“What’s that over there?”

I feel so bad for a killdeer that lives near me, she lives right by a bus stop, like, literally right next to the bus stop. She's sitting on four eggs and the people that own the property she's nesting on don't care about her because "there's tons of those birds on the property." I'm just so worried that they're going to get mowed over, or taken by the kids from the bus. It's a dangerous world for a ground-nesting bird.

I’m so glad the birds at my house stay still long enough for me to get good pictures.

Leucophaeus atricilla - Laughing Gull

Red-Bellied Woodpecker, Carolina Chickadee, and a Tufted Titmouse.

Icterus galbula - Baltimore Oriole 

Update: I just found out he likes blueberries.

Okay, so, one of my hissing cockroaches is eating the wood in his terrarium. I didn’t think that he’d eat the wood?? Maybe there’s something on it that he’s eating. The only other thing I know he’ll eat is strawberries and bananas. I’m still trying to find out what he likes.
