Dogs and Birds - A Sunday Morning

This morning I took Guy and Prize over to Animal Barn's agility field to meet up with a club member to practice. Prize was so cute, jumping up on the pause table, but I couldn't get her to stay long enough for a photo. So we worked around for awhile until her tongue was hanging out.....

....the little stinker NEVER wants to quit! It's suppose to ALWAYS be her turn. I snapped this one before luring her in with a treat so Guy could have a turn.

As I went out to the van to go, I noticed the fungi on a dead privet hedge bush... The blue and green rings on it are quite attractive.

Before I could leave for AB this morning, we all had to go on our morning walk about and when I got back to the house, I noticed there were bluebirds about. Unfortunately, I can't sit out there and try for a photo because the dogs all have to be out there, too..... hence, no birds. So, I stood inside and shot these through the window door.

When we first moved here, I put up blue bird boxes to try and attract some, but red headed woodpeckers took them over. I finally gave up.... I don't know what changed, but now there are loads of them around! Go figure...

Along with the blue birds, there were some other birds about their size. I got a shot of this one and I think it's a yellow rumped warbler.... According to my bird guide book, they winter in this area.

Cute little fella at any rate....
