I'm pretty sure Howard can smell since I tried switching from the fruit blend Zupreme to the all natural that didn't smell like anything and he didn't want anything to do with it. Back when I used to feed him a fruit/veggie mix it had all kinds of peppers in it too.
That actually IS a good hunter! Most dogs just chase and wish they could catch. Did she have a soft mouth on the sparrow or was it something she wanted to eat? My Doberman from 20 years ago picked up our new kittens by the head and would carry them around, but so so softly, never hurting them.
Soft on the sparrow. Not soft enough, we had to help him on his journey to meet his maker. We gave him a couple of hours hoping he was just in shock. Nope.
The lizard... had next to no head left. Definitely wanted to eat that one.
This mornings excitement
Baby dove learning it’s wimgs.
Hurricane Millie went out back and must have found him on the ground grazing with parents.
Baby dove managed to get from this very narrow perch to the balcony above him (and mama) then they went up on the roof.
We have a new visitor in the garden and it’s really pissing Tara off! 
I don't know what it is about fox but they drive all of the dogs we've had so far nuts. There were a bunch of fox tracks in the fresh snow in our driveway when I went to work this morning too.
I don't either. We currently have a gray fox with a litter of I think 5 kits. I've been trying to leave them be because I don't want to peak the interest of a certain black devil. I hope to get some pics because they are so cute. We'll see how that goes...

arg, just read an article that said residents should put all bird feeders and birth baths away until the end of May because the avian flu is spreading so fast here (IL). It said they didn't have evidence it has spread to song birds yet but it's better to be on the safe side. Just put my humming bird feeders out 
of course the comments on the article were absurd

They said the same thing here but a lot of people commented that with this bad weather there isn't much to eat. We're keeping ours out but if we see any dead birds around they'll get put away.
Ok, not my pics
Was following a thread on the boating site about this guy
First spotted south of Lake Havasu city sometime last week.
Then, sighted in and around Parker, AZ
And then!
Reports of him in Earp, CA
To give you folks some perspective here, this bear is in the middle of the desert and traveled a great distance.
So at some point, this bear either swam across, or walked across the bridge on hwy62 into California where he was spotted at Wheeler Inn, which is the red dot marker next to the bridge. He then started back North and was spotted across the river from Blue Water.
That’s where they caught him.

What's with the bears lately?
They have become so commonplace around here that they now have a hunting season for them in Missouri.

Made my day! Great music for the visuals!
Omigosh, he's adorable!I made a friend at my new house. A steer that seems to be smitten.
If he sees me he comes running with a goofylook on his face and hopping back and forth on his front legs

Holy birds, batman!! That's a lot of birds! I suppose with all the snow and cold there's nothing left to eat. I've never seen that many birds at a bird feeder!
Tuesday night I put my little bird house up that I have every year for my Wrens. The next day I saw sparrows trying to get in there. That happened last year too. The hole is too small for them! That house is for my wrens! 
Shortly after seeing the sparrows try their best, my little Wren was back! ❤ They're so adorable. She actually looked like she was cleaning house. Even though I clean everything out in the Fall, it looked like she was picking something up inside and spitting it out the window! lol Really fun to watch these cute little guys!
Yesterday evening I was in the barn getting ready to bring the horses inside to feed when I saw them eyeballing something off to the side in the pine trees. Kali was looking in the same direction. When I went to look, two Deer sprinted past! First time I've spotted any in a very long time.

I found this little Childrens Python in my woodpile, nice and snug. Jazz was NOT amused, but sat patiently while I had a good look and took pics. Released him/her near some good cover and Jazz has been checking regularly since.

I think this one is about the biggest I have seen. He has been doing service all summer keeping the mouse plague under control.
He is one of the NICE snakes we have in Australia!
