What's in your backyard?

It's an F35, and they're loud, but I don't mind.

Yep, I see that now. The difference is really in the shape of the wings.

We occasionally get F-22's through my site doing cross-counrtry flights, but the F-35's never make it through here so I've only seen them in flight once. They are a pleasant change from the KC-135's, C-17's, and C-5's.
 
I walked out onto the driveway one morning and saw that I was late for breakfast:

Years and years ago, I used to buy tame rabbits (fully-dressed) for a $1.50 each from a good ol' boy who worked in the factory. Rabbit is super delicious no matter how you cook it !

Australian Green Tree Frog, they grow to between 3 and 4.5 inches. We don't have any trees in our yard, but this one was on a folded up clothesline, about 4 foot off the ground. Apparently some have been "introduced" to the US, and the population is surviving. Sounds like something you might see in a Simpson's episode.

Are they poisonous? When we lived in Hawaii, there was an invasive species of toad which could make dogs and cats really sick if they attempted to hunt them or even give them an inquisitive lick.
 
They are toxic, but not poisonous. I remember years ago we had a cat that brought one into the house, she frothed at the mouth for about half an hour. We have her some milk and it stopped. Back in the days before people freak out at the slightest thing and take their animals to the vet.

We do have cane toads in Australia, they are not native, they can make animals very sick, sometimes they die. They're mainly in Queensland, the state to the north of me, but they are slowly spreading south.

I heard this plane flying over this afternoon, the engine noise sounded different. Luckily I'd been playing around with my DSLR, so I got a good shot of it. An Antonov AN124.

But then I heard another, this on is an E-7 Wedgetail, which is an RAAF AWACS and ELINT aircraft. Following the Russians, as you do. View attachment 74033View attachment 74034

Red tailed hawk nest. They’re well fed with plenty of tree rats and bunnies in the neighborhood.
