- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Morning from North Smiths Grove. It is 55 here this morning with bright sun shine.
Since Thursday afternoon my rain guage has 2 7/8 inches of rain it is. I think I saw Noah floating by yesterday afternoon, he may have been looking for two grackles.
- Good Mornings, D-Leagueans.
- 64º in Johns Creek. Overcast. We had some light rain last night, but noot much. This deck is about dry.
- Went straight to bed after loving on Lola. I was worn out. Slept well. Still feel tired.
- This Dark Magic is helping me.
- Wondering about those fledglings.
- I-85 North opened last night. It cut my commute by about 15 minutes. That was nice.
- Got a couple of chores to do.
- Have to go in and do some work.
- Be careful. Be safe.
- Carry on.
Found 29 cents during my morning jaunt. Decent day so far.
You are a regular Silas Marner.
Good morning to all. It's 53 and overcast here, but it's supposed to be sunny this afternoon and that will be a welcome change from all the rain this past week.
Morning from AZ 70°F back to 95°F Same forecast as yesterday. Busy week is over. Whew.
Baby bird rescue. A pointer, if you can see the adults, they see you and are watching. In that case. The little ones can be moved to secure location if in danger. Back to the nest is OK and preferable for nestlings. If they're fledging, they not likely to stay long. They're developing extremely fast, flying within a week of fledging. From street or ground to a nearby bush preferably a low tree branch is O.K as well. Survival is low 25% (one per nest) is normal. About all the adults can handle with depredation factored in. Garden hose works fairly well distracting a cat. Cats hole up when raining as well, bring out the worms and are good deal for Robins. Grackles and Jays much smarter than the Robins and more defensive. Adult birds sound alarm with appearance of danger and you may be mobbed. This commotion also attracts predators as well so intervene with discretion. Only when the little one is in imminent. danger. I'll stay tuned in today, for any questions. I got a displaced featherless nestling two weeks ago now I'm teaching it to forage. Difficult at best and my success is not likely, but it's strong and capable of short flights. We'll see.
I love this time of year. Every bit as entertaining as hoops, it's real. Remember not to anthropomorphize. The Bambi Syndrome turns many into delusional snowflakes. I do understand Bambi's place in the freezer is repulsive to many. But while animals don't have rights and on the menu, we as humans making decisions, must be responsible. Enjoy life everyday and it is important as all life matters. In nature and on the farm. I'll get off the soapbox now. Enjoy life everyday. It is truly a blessing. Eat well, respect and be thankful.
Thumper, Bambi & Flower. Awesome entertainment.
Watched 2nd half. John Wall was fabulous. He flies around. A favorite for sure.

One Sunday a year or so ago we were on our way to get breakfast and saw Bambi on Old Alabama Road, a very busy secondary road. It was wobbly and on the center line and traffic was zipping by at 45-50 mph. I just knew that we were about to see it get smushed, but it turned around and ran back in the bushes. It was a miracle that it did not get hit.
Heh, found another quarter just 30 min ago on the street next to the Buddhist temple located 2 doors down.
- Chores done: fish fed, squirrels & chipmunks fed, birds fed.
- 4 water lillies opening.
- Towhee hopping and scratching.

Correct it or amend it, or don't worry about it.

William Conrad was born in Louisville, Kentucky.
Raining here. Just please don't rain tomorrow.
Booooo
Only problem lil birdy has is I have to mow my grass today or tomorrow. I'll give him a big buffer zone and leave him in his tall grass, but poor thing will be terrified. I'll give him about 15 feet. Just afraid I'll burst his lil eardrums if he has those. Rooster, do they have eardrums?
Yes, birds have unimaginable hearing. For example, an owl can hear the pounding of a scurrying mouse at around approximately 75'. They listen to chirp ^all the time and from quite a distance. If it doesn't hurt your ears it won't hurt theirs. You can move the little one out of the way. Expect it will scream, pissing off the adults but they'll be watching where you put it. If it's healthy its going to flee the marauding ape. In this case, herd it to safety. It should fine. Much better off than being mowed by the Neanderthal. Speaking for the civilized . . . Thanks for caring.

And now my dog found it. Went ballistic and told her NO! Birdy was scared, but unharmed. Sorry Mama Bird had to see that.
^ that was 20 min ago. I let Dolly know she was not to touch lil birdy UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANE then I proceeded to plant this dwarf spruce in a planter on the porch about 15ft from birdy.
I went to check on birdy after I was finished AND HE WAS GONE. ONE LIL FLUFFY FEATHER WHERE HE SAT IN HIS DIVOT. My dog was eating a bone she dug over on the far corner of the yard. I know that for a fact. She did not get the bird....unless she pulled the sneakiest of maneuvers. He must have hopped to the mulch. I can't see him, but maybe/hopefully he is safe. Momma chirping. I can't find him. Laying low now see if his mama knows where he is. I'm worried. I don't think she knows. She's chirping and looking I think. He's gotta be near. Sucker is hard to spot, and if he's in the beds he'll be harder to find. Momma quit chirping. Idk. Surely hopped off somewhere. It would just take about 6 feet and he could find some cover.
Ok, Rooster bird. I bet he fled me the maurading ape. I was making a racket pretty close to him, so he probabaly got out of dodge. I don't think momma sees him though. I think I hear two different chirps tho. Could be him chirping up to mama.
Herd of grackle landed. Wonder if the new ones are flying.
If this Robin is not OK I'll be upset. My gut says he is.

My gut is telling me you're the doing fine. The little robin is just that a little robin and sometimes things don't work out the way you intend. For example, a lady friend of mine was having an issue with a Rock Squirrel acting like one in her garden. I got out one of my live capture traps. Caught the rascal and took it to a local park in NDN Bend wash where the resident squirrels are fat.
Upon leaving about 200 yards away from the release, I ran over one just like it. Saw it coming and quickly decided I could not run over the kids on bicycles. It sucked but ish happens.
Congrats to both of you!Ran a 5K race with my daughter early this morning.

Yard/garage sales were everywhere this morning. I did get a great deal on some old LPs at an estate sale. Many of them were the good ol' virgin thick vinyl too. A little rough on the surface but when I get them cleaned up they should be just fine.
He sang lots of sad songs.
My dad got me hooked on Westerns, and Gunsmoke was probably his favorite. I guess one of his favorite episodes was the "No hands" one.
Congrats to both of you. Nothing beats doing things with your kids.Ran a 5K race with my daughter early this morning.

Whew, just got off a rare Saturday conference call about the WannaCry virus outbreak and how it may affect us going forward. Scary stuff.

Arness's brother was Peter Graves and I think he was a little shorter.

Idk. My yard looks damn good though.
Hope y'all are enjoying your Saturday.
ATX, "wannacry" virus sounds bad.
