Recently, my bird camera caught a new species at the feeder. Not exactly the intended subject, though I suppose if you go back far enough* in their family tree they are related.
*Roughly 315 million years ago they diverged from a common ancestor. Today, birds are more closely related to alligators and crocodiles than lizards. I do hope an alligator does not take interest in my bird feeder, itβs not sturdy enough to withstand that! π
