Cape Cod Chupa Attacks! And a Birdbath with a Catbird
Well, there you go - proof of the dreaded Cape Cod Chupacabra! Look carefully at the first photo, and then the one that follows it...
Do you see the difference?!? The first shot is of a typical idyllic afternoon... Just a little birdbath... But the next photo (from the exact same camera taken from the exact same viewpoint) clearly depicts a chupa attack approaching from the upper right! Look at the red teeth and the pointy ears... Look at that wild eye! The beast has obviously been caught leaping towards some poor unsuspecting creature, and there he is now...
And then, look at the poor thing struggle!
Alright, alright, alright... The camera captured an SUV going by, and the rest of the photographs are those of a catbird enjoying a bath. (Sorry... Just can't resist ribbing the "Area 51" crowd.)
Joking aside... Now is an ideal time to clean your feeders and birdbaths. (See more info here.) Just be sure to rinse everything completely afterwards.
Other stuff... Well, hurricane season is starting again... Are you prepared?
Finally... This is my 400th post... How about that?
See you by the feeders,
