More Wabbits! (And the End of Ms. Mousey)
Sorry for the delay... It's been a busy 4th, and other stuff has kept me jumping as well. But beyond all that, this has been a time for reflection (as it should be for all Americans)... We'll take a look at that another time.
Well, the "wabbits" are back in force! We've got way too many pics to post here, and we haven't even had a chance to enter them in our eBirdseed library (link below). We'll get on that ASAP! In the mean time, here's a nice shot... (As always, if you see a photo that you like and it's not in our library, just use the "Comment" button below and ask for the original, or you can email me at: capecodalan@ebirdseed.com... It's all free folks.)
What is it about our yard (aside from the crabgrass) that attracts these "hoppers"? Maybe it's the simple activity, protection, and safety therein... Who knows?
And on a completely different (and sad) note, it looks like "Ms. Mousey" is squeaking her last... Yup... Perhaps the world's oldest mouse can now barely walk, and falls over when trying to eat and drink. A lucky field mouse lasts 2 years... At best guess, Ms. Mousey has doubled that and then some, and now is apx. 110 years old in human years. Part of me wants to hasten the end and use carbon monoxide from the car's exhaust to put her to sleep - it seems cruel to let her starve to death. But another part of me hopes she can rally and enjoy a few more weeks.
Someone should sell tickets to this world.
See you by the feeders,
