Starts with T
A tender moment between our two rabbits - Pippin in front and Epinette behind. They groom each other a lot, and I always think it's rather sweet to watch how they interact and care for each other. When treats are involved, then it's every rabbit for him/herself!
Black and White
I see a lot of woodpeckers in my yard at this time of year - they are especially interested in my suet feeder. Most woodpeckers here are exclusively black and white, with touches of red on the head of the males. Here is a hairy woodpecker (male) I photographed last week who is removing the bark from a spruce tree in the yard - probably finding insects underneath the bark.
Paper
It is not uncommon to find paper wasp nests attached to various places on our house. I don't actually see that many wasps, but I do see their homes. I try to remove the nests when they are small, but sometimes I miss one. This one was under the balcony deck that is outside our bedroom.
I like bees but I am not a big fan of wasps, although I recognize they have their place in the ecosystem. That said, I find their ability to form these "paper" nests from wood fibre to be absolutely amazing. They are talented insects! I also love looking at paper fragments from the nests - there is so much variation in colour and texture. It is like artisanal craft paper - quite remarkable.
