I have a cheeky Robin in my garden at the moment. I'll be sitting reading and it'll hope about a couple of feet from me with a 'Feed Me!' look in its eye

your robins are different from ours. ours are pretty large thrushes. they got the name from the orange breast

You should attach him to a Hogswatch card, may not be at all cooperative though.

I saw a crazy bulldog rolling on a lawn today as it scratched its back. It amused the hell out of me.

[Tank]

My dog does that and it is very amusing.

[MarcusA]

Human beings amuse me the most.

got up this morning and was walking out to the road





odocoelius virginianus

abiut a metre at the shoulder. stood there sraing at me and wouldnt run.  when i got close she hopped into the hayfield and stopped again

i said, youve got a fawn holed up in there, doncha

so i cimbed up into the hayfield and started walking along tbe line of young chestnut trees parallel to the road. after about 30 feet a spotted fawn leapt up out of the timothy and ran to the doe. then they both stopped

i broke off then so they wouldnt get separated

lots of these whitetails around here. now with the hayfield fallow they have somewhere close by to hide

ever-present seagulls
in the bitter rain

[billy rubin]

this morning i walked over to my truck and there were chewed pieces of chicken nuggets all over the hydraulic control box.

i had picked up a n oil field chemical company box the day before. no chicken nuggets there.

so i looked closer and tbere were greasy raccoon footprints all over the box.

so now im a buffet table for the local nightife

must have bern ots of chicken nuggets around to have lefy such a mess behind

[billy rubin]

so i came home and walked up to thr warehouse door



snake



not really a snake but a snake skin. this would be an elaphe obsoleta, local black rat snake. shed skin. they get tjree or four feet, altbough ive seen em six feet long

i looked around for more but none were visible. rat snakes are beautiful and good tempered animals, altbough all the ones ive caught tried to bite me ferociously i admit

otherwise nice to have around. i catch all i can and let em lose around the house

died while I lived.
