Lexi decided that her tennis ball...the-dirtiest-rottenist-ball-I've-ever-seen...was so precious that she had to sneak it in the house and fall asleep with it...in her mouth...on my husband's lap.

A girlfriend for Scratch?

He sure seems to think so.. So far nothing to report, Ezra has yet to meet any members of her new crew and is getting comfortable in her new surroundings.

There's a heron nest in my backyard. Three chicks have fallen out of the nest, but only one survived the fall.


Nyx didn't like the little guy. At all.

How did the heron chick make out? Is it old enough to leave the nest and be ground fed?

I don't know anyone with a heron nest. Please tell more.

We have a ton of Heron's around here (great blue) but they always nest in the swamps so I've never actually seen a nest.

A great blue heron nested way up in a big Maple in the backyard, which is weird because I live in town, not out in the country. However, there is a rice field only a block from my house, and herons are thick in my area.

I'm not sure how many chicks were in the brood, but I found two dead on the ground this week. Day before yesterday I found the live one. It must've fallen on the cushy tarp. It made its way over to the brush pile yesterday, and Nyx got it before I realized it was still around. She killed it.

I don't know much about birds, but I'd say these were too young to survive outside the nest. Their pin feathers were just beginning to come in and they couldn't fly yet.

we have a rookery close by my house, its all wilderness, even though it sits off the main road, but I have still not gotten a chance to go visit it. Its a very natural habitat, undisturbed, and protected so it can never be cleared for housing/industrial use.
Sad that Nyx played too rough with the poor baby, I have always thought they are so pretty as adults.

Della was in pursuit of a ground squirrel doing a 180.


What ever makes you think I was in the trash?
