House guest

This feathered fellow showed up in our backyard on Monday morning. At first I thought he was hanging out to harass/hunt the backyard geckos (yes! they're back! I've seen a few along the fences), but he didn't do much of anything. He also looked a bit odd to me with the perma-ruffle feathers. Maybe he's sick? If so, he's come to the right place. We're a sick house here, Robbie was sick Monday and Cub caught it a day later. He sure is an odd visitor. He let me get really close with the iPhone for a picture, and isn't all that worried about the dogs. Even after Cal sort of charged him. Cal was by my side as I took this picture, and he got antsy and barked at the bird, even lunged for him a little. Scared me more than the bird!
