The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons

that can't be a bullet wound, it would have killed him

I'm guessing it was an arrow. It's a high shot, so probably just missed the lungs. I come from a long line of hunters, they would call this a high near shoulder shot. Damn lucky girl, either way.

the poor dear. Does he have only 3 legs?

It's got 4 legs. The camera angle from where I was shooting obscured the front leg.
Poor thing has been through hell and back with those wounds, I'm sure.

Caught in the act. I hung the old feeders a little lower and they have dried hot peppers mixed in the seed, as @Joe Brewster suggested to do. She didn't knock it down yet, they got spooked by a cat. They'll be back......and I don't think they will enjoy that seed very much this time.
I'm leaving the good feeders in the garage until this issue is resolved.

I remember seeing it at the bulk food store, birds don't have tastebuds. It will also be squirrel proof
Time to start growing habanero peppers. I grow one called burning bush(over 100,000 Scovil units ) that's mild compared to the ghost pepper 1,000,000.

My Pops was the pepper grower. He liked the sizzlin' kick yer arse hot. He never grew any ghost peppers though.
I guess it's time I took over the task. LOL

Good Mornfternoon Friends......

This little Bluebird on my Pops' weather vane had a dull sky behind it. I spruced it up with a rainbow.

It's been a day! Perfect weather, but lots of work.
A new species of waterfowl showed up on the pond today.

This is a Pied-Billed Grebe. Or "Devil Diver"

It was all by itself, it's a small duck but that doesn't stop it from diving down and getting my fish! I watched him swallow two bluegills and three large minnows in less than 10 minutes. My poor fish, they can't get a break from predators.

It was quite far away, I did the best I could even with a 600mm lens. Very shy guy.

Omg I love your life Gro Sista

So do I! Never a dull moment around here. LOL

Pacino had "Dog Day Afternoon".....I've got "Bird Day Afternoon". They were everywhere and the camera was very busy. First up, my Great Blue Heron is here for the summer. He is a beautiful bird, always comes alone. I used to think he had a huge appetite on my poor fish, but he is nothing compared to that tiny little Grebe in the water. That thing eats 4 times more than the Heron, and in a much shorter time! Thank goodness they don't have partners in crime.

Seemed to be a Blue theme with birds today.

This Bluebird just signed her modeling contract and did her first portfolio shots. I think she did well. She even fluffed herself out for me.

This male Cardinal was watching me as I tried to close in on him yesterday. He gave me the evil eye, and suddenly dive bombed me! This tells me I was getting close to the lady's nest. I had one shot as he came at me and then ducked.
I've had Bluejays do this to me before, much larger birds. A bit scary. LOL

 

[Lady Cannafan]

I love seeing Chucky come out. It's the sure sign that good warm weather is looming.
He loves dandelions, but there aren't any up yet.
The panther cat and he have a respectful relationship. They don't get too close to each other.

Yes, Chucky is my resident Woodchuck. He's been here for many years.
What do I tell him you are sorry for?

I've done bending spoons, I cannot keep flowers in full bloom....although that would be awesome. And I hope I never ever have to try to push an elephant up any stairs.

 

[Canachris]

well I had some of his ancestors in a stew once or twice, an it was really good . it happens

I don't know why but that rainbow post put that R E M song in my head

Yep, I have an old cookbook here that was my Grandpa's. He was a southern boy, and this cookbook is all about cooking things like this. Had a neighbor in the city that would take anything and put in a pot for stew. Always had a pot of unknown stew going. Invited us for dinner once, I declined. LOL

NOW I get what you were referring to. Haven't heard that in a minute for sure.
