Very cool. Thanks.

im, the dogs are lovely, they look like they're having fun and looking forward to having more fun soon.

as for the canada geese. you're welcome to them. I despise them. they're terrible pests here, shitting on everything.

Yeah, it's pretty much dog heaven down there. They love it.

Goose poo everywhere but I still think they're pretty. They have conventions on the river behind my place sometimes, and boy do they get loud at happy hour. They sound like we did at FA conferences. :)

Fucking starlings and house sparrows, and a squirrel

HATE Grackles! My squirrels don't visit anymore. However, I was just out back enjoying my newly stained deck (lotta work) with Daniel. For the first time some birds were on the feeders while we were out there. We were about 10" from them. Very cool.

Lots of wildlife here - helping itself to my new garden!! We have several rabbits, one an adult plus several teens. Somehow neither the turkey vultures nor our pair of red foxes have taken them out yet, as they did in other years. The little furballs (rabbits, not foxes) have eaten ALL my fernleaf dill and almost all the cilantro. Parsley went but was clearly a third choice. Up against it here, shopping for fox urine/coyote urine granules, whatever. I sprayed and shook blood/egg solids all over tonight but have my doubts.

Anyone know of a foolproof rabbit deterrent? I think I need to have words with our foxes.

Yosemite Sam?

Slow roasted rabbit infused with parsley, dill and cilantro surrounded by colorful fresh baby potatoes & carrots... Add a nice La Griveliere Cotes du Rhone Tete de Cuvee 2010 (bursting at the seams with barnyard manure and leather, perfectly smooth with modest fruit and a finish of leather - old world style for sure.)
Oh my ... I'm on m way!

Yeah, no. I ain't drinking nothing that takes that long to say.

Google translates that as The Griveliere Cotes du Rhone Tete de Cuvee, btw. Hell, even I knew that much...

You get a special exemption then. Drink some ripple.

Fuck a bunch of Ripple.:lol2:

I been drankin' that clear shit lately. Y'know, comes in a mason jar? With no label? And high-triple-digit proof?

Wabbit. Baby wabbit, actually.

Remember, as summer looms beware of ticks and Buffalo.

Do Not Approach Buffalo

... but, but, but... what if you live there?!

Ticks, buffalo, and now flea-bearing squirrels.

Plague in Idaho squirrels prompts health warning

Our cilantro-loving rabbit has been permanently deterred. :(

I hate that, but I blame it on the fox pair that didn't step up. Or the hawks/vultures that scour our place but didn't pick off the bunny. I'd much rather the natural order take care of things, predator/prey-wise.

So I'm going to plant more dill, a few other herbs, and continue sowing beans for the next 3 weeks. I've started sprouts in the past few days and am reaping the benefits from today - alfalfa, tomorrow lentil sprouts, the next day bean and chickpea sprouts. Lots of protein, mmm!

That rabbit was all protein. :yum:

How did you guys take care of the rabbit? Living here in the close in suburbs, we're not allowed to do anything to wildlife. Live traps are even against the law unless you are a pro. Do you live somewhere where you can just shoot it?

They're not even allowed to have knives.

No knives in PA? What you talkin bout Willis?

My word, I thought I was in the myxomatosis thread!

Maybe her staff wanted the rabbit dead? :eek:

Yeah, I suspected you were thinking Old Blighty. :haha:

On my way to a wildlife rehaber. This little red tail appeared on my front porch this morning. Seems to have a head injury, I hope they can help him..

..Attachment 51827

Can someone fix my photo sorry it's so big!

I have been corrected by the rehaber he is a screech owl and she thinks he will be OK :)

Tough picture to work with.

Maybe it got hurt swimming with Meeses.

A few days ago, a number of UK newspapers reported how a Badger had entered a house via the cat flap and had stolen food from the fridge.
Prior to this video he had opened the fridge and helped himself to half a dozen eggs.
When the house owner heard a repeat raid in progress he was greeted with the following scene:

Just put up a mirror.

They look as though they are watching TV and being wholly unimpressed by the experience.

That badger musta been one of themthere punk-ass badgers.

An American badger wouldn't have left without the 'fridge. Plus, he woulda mussed ya up on the way out.

:jig:

Yeah, I'm not into reality tv, either.

Bat of Prussia!

Bat has tooken up residence in one of the tight little nooks of my roof. I'm like what's all these turds at this corner? Bat, is what.

Don't let it bother you, you don't want to be batshit crazy.

Skeeter eater, is what.

Encourage him to stay. Buy/make a batbox, might get him off yer house.

Captain coon of the good ship Gator.

HA.

I'm trying to put a video in here. Can someone fix, if no workie? And tell me how to do it?

Can't really do it from a facebook video I think

Ok. A link then.

wow. I guess when you start them young...

Wildlife's home.

:(

There's a colonial house in Old Sturbridge Village with Chestnut clapboards that have never been painted.

Sometimes nature lives next to us.

They had to build a squirrel bridge to stop the carnage crossing the street from a city park to the Park Plaza office building.
Why did the chicken squirrel cross the road?
Because the stupid people at the Park Plaza office building fed them. Well, duh!

eggs?

For just a second there I thought that snake was a politician, because I thought he was speaking out of his ass.

Nothing like sitting quietly listening to the buzz of a feeding Hummingbird.

Now I know you guys are always dreaming of a wet pussy...
be careful what you wish for.

It's been a minute since I seen one, but, I remember it looking different than that.

Damn Roadrunner must have descended from Dilophosaurus.

:eek:

Well, shit, man! I was all for the bastard dying a painful death, beat his brains out, but, let him get laid at least once, anyway, damn!

:(

From a friend in Sparta, NJ, this morning.

Is that a compost heap? We had a bear visit a couple weeks ago but not since. Now that we're back in the bee business its more than a interesting occurrence. I've got a strong fence but I'm going to have to add electric and sardine cans.

I was guessing a fire enclosure, but I don't know, you may be right.
