This little guy was chillin' outside the Laundromat the other day. I think he might have hit the window and was stunned. He was moving his head around but wasn't flying away. I've never seen a hummingbird standing still. I wasn't sure what to do with him but my brother (biology major type kind of guy who knows a lot about birds) later said it was best I just left him alone. Anyway, he's a beauty.

I had one land on my finger once. He came in the house and got behind a window and couldn't figure out how to get out. I very carefully lifted my finger under him as he hovered. He perched on my finger and I walked him outside. He flew off but circled back around and hovered at eye level inches in front of me. His thank you complete, he blew out of there.

Very nice!
Slick caught a hummingbird once (Once!), and I managed to get it away before the final blow was dealt. One wing was twisted around on his back, and I put it back gently as I could. It made a little, teeny tweet, and sat there, in the palm of my hand, for just a moment and then flew away. That was so ƒucking awsome!

These three hares are sitting in a line about ten, 20 and 30 feet from my house. They seem to be placed along the line of the outpipe to the septic tank and the last one is more or less on the septic tank hatch. Maybe it's a little bit warmer along that line?

Shouldn't make any difference to the grass between the house and the tank, the leach field after the tank would feed the grass. Maybe that pipe is providing warmth but it's probably down three feet or more. It could be creating a vibration or magnetic line to attract them. Or they might be look-outs for the crew tunneling into your pantry.

No Grav!
NONONONONONO. I love cats and I love bats and now I'm all confused as to where my loyalties lie... Limes, gosh I love your hares. Saw some gorgeous handcarved moongazers at the Show. Couldn't even take their photographs in case they drew me into a bank balance defying purchase. |

some pictures of geese and baby geese...and R the Wonder Dog from my dad's lake. This is the southernmost of the two lakes...not even the pretty one but he and the other partners and my brother were discussing a business venture involving the land near that lake. I was impressed with the huge amount of baby geese (goslings? ryan?) but my other brother was impressed because they'll make for good shootin' next goose season.
