Dave | Birds & Peanuts

This is what I'm about. 🐿️🥜 I'm a 23-year Army vet in Florida sharing the backyard birds, squirrels, and skies that visit me every day. This is Tippy enjoying her peanut... and the view. 😉 Unedited. No AI. No drama. Just real moments straight from my phone. If that's your kind of thing, pull up a chair and stay awhile. ♥️

Down at the lake… 🌾💧 Sharing a sunset with my friend Freight Train tonight. 🦆🌅 He posed like he knew exactly what he was doing, standing tall in the golden light while the sun dipped behind the trees. Unedited, straight from my phone. The best sunsets are the ones you share with a friend. ♥️

Meet Crazzy! 🐿️🥜 This little guy is the wild one of the bunch. He'll take your peanut AND nibble your fingers while he's at it. 🤣 Look at him hugging that peanut like it's his last one! Real backyard, no AI, just one nutty boy living up to his name. Who else has a crazy critter in their yard? 👇♥️

Happy National Cat Day! 🐱🎉 I didn't even know it was today, and Mr. Whiskers showed up right on time. Look at that side-eye, though. He's clearly not impressed with my paparazzi skills. 🤣 Real backyard, no AI, just one fluffy, chunky boy who thinks he's hiding. Show me your cats! 👇♥️

Down at the lake… 🌾💧 A couple of sandhill cranes. I absolutely love going to the lake. Unedited, straight from my phone. Do y'all have a favorite spot to watch wildlife? ♥️

It's official! Meet Bandit! 🦝🎉 You all voted, and it wasn't even close. Bandit took it with 37 votes, Rocky came in second with 14, and Ricky snagged third with 7. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with names! ♥️ He didn't show up today, so I guess he's sleeping off all the fame. 🤣 Welcome to the family, Bandit! 👇🥜

I want to wish my very good friend @Meandertha2696 a wonderful Happy Birthday! 🥳🎊🎂Thank you for being a great friend and always being there for me! Have a wonderful day!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Look who's sneaking around the yard! 🐱👀 Mr. Whiskers thought he was hiding in the beautyberry bush, but those eyes gave him away. 💜🤣 Sneaky, but not sneaky enough for me and my phone! Real backyard, no AI, just a cat on a secret mission. What do you think he's up to? 👇♥️

Good morning! ☁️☕ No sunrise today, but the yard still delivered. Blanca stopped by looking dapper as always, and this fuzzy little moth decided I was a good place to land. 🦆🦋🤣 Have a great Thursday! ♥️

Tonight's Gulf sunset, start to finish. 🌅🧡 The sun split in two by a cloud, then it glowed like a giant orange, a gull glided through the glow, and the whole bay went calm as it set. 🐦🌊 Real phone, no AI, just me, the Gulf breeze, and the sun on my face. Which one's your favorite? 👇♥️

Our new friend out for a stroll on the tree limbs! 🦝🌳 Tightrope walking through my oak like a pro, no net needed. 🤣 Real backyard, no AI, just a curious little bandit showing off his moves. He still needs a name! Bandit's in the lead, so go cast your vote in the original post! 👇♥️

Mandy is one of the best!! Outstanding photographer!

Surprise! The tank's been busy without telling me. 🐠😂 I let nature run free in there and didn't even know I had babies until a few weeks ago. Now there's a tiny one sticking close to the big one under the rock. 🪨💚 Real tank, no AI, just a little family I didn't plan on! 🐟♥️

Update: our new friend is officially off duty. 🦝💤 Curled up in the oak like he pays rent here. 🌳🤣 Real backyard, no AI, just a sleepy little bandit catching some Z's. Still need a name for him! Bandit's in the lead, so go cast your vote in the original post before he wakes up! 👇♥️
