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.

infinite monkey 05-18-2015 02:50 PM

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

classicman 05-24-2015 10:25 AM

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.

orthodoc 05-24-2015 07:10 PM

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!

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

Ticks, buffalo, and now flea-bearing squirrels.

Plague in Idaho squirrels prompts health warning

Quote:

Boise, Idaho • Ground squirrels south of Boise have tested positive for plague, and humans and pets should avoid the area, Idaho health officials say.

The bacterial disease can be spread by the bites of fleas or by direct contact with infected animals, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare said in a statement Friday.

"We would probably advise people not to go out in that area," said Tom Shanahan, spokesman for the agency. "If you go out there, you need to take precautions."

Officials said that includes insect repellent and staying away from dead animals. Pets should be protected with flea-repellent products and not be allowed to roam free, which increases the chances of a pet rolling on a dead ground squirrel or picking it up.

Mike Keckler of Idaho Fish and Game said the agency investigated earlier this week after receiving reports of dead ground squirrels and found 24 die-off sites. Seven dead squirrels were sent overnight to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, he said, and researchers confirmed on Friday morning to Idaho officials that plague caused the deaths.

orthodoc 05-27-2015 09:53 PM

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!

xoxoxoBruce 05-28-2015 01:59 AM

That rabbit was all protein. :yum:

glatt 05-28-2015 07:21 AM

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?

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:

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

Gravdigr 06-01-2015 02:24 PM

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.

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!

From a friend in Sparta, NJ, this morning.

Griff 07-02-2015 06:19 AM

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.

xoxoxoBruce 07-02-2015 06:33 AM

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