Some Commotion in our Yard

Tuesday, when I was taking photos of some blooms, the birds in our tree were excited about something.  Different kinds would land on a branch and chirp loudly, then fly away.  I tried to take their photos, but only one, of a robin, turned out OK.  The worm was an added critter for the photo.

Heidi got excited, too, and at one point, tried to get up the tree.   Then, I saw a squirrel all agitated.

That's not what Heidi was after, though.  I looked up and saw a cat!  No wonder all the other critters were agitated.

The cat kept going back and forth in the fork of the tree, and the squirrel kept dashing around scolding it.

Larry came out to see what the excitement was, and I told him I was thinking about getting the hose to squirt the cat to get it to get down, but Larry was afraid it would fall out of the tree.

 Finally, the cat skidded its way back down the tree.  It had a collar on, but I don't know whose it is.

I couldn't get a good photo of it once on the ground.  It skulked away, looking to be in a grumpy mood.

Did I get a thank you from the squirrel?  No, it turned around and scolded me!

Wednesday, I took some photos of a couple birds through a window.  They didn't turn out so well.  I have 2 to post, but I'm not sure if these are of both or just one of the birds.  I don't remember what kind of birds they are.  Do you know what they are?
