A female western tanager and some juncos. Nice
One time chronos caught a mouse but he didnât know what to do with it so it tossed it into the air a few times. We made him release it and it was so traumatized, it could barely move. Just stood there shaking. We left it and it disappeared in a few hours lol.
Today they cornered a bunny. Then they wanted to play. I guess todayâs the day this month that i give them their flea meds thankfully, it doesnât look like it has ticks
No idea what this was, but I found it as the straw that broke the camelâs back of my poorly constructed Concord grape trellis. Nest had a heavy ass ball of mud in the bottom. I didnât find the egg until a day or two later. It was underneath a bush down the hill from where the nest/my grapevine landed. I assume itâs a man-eating lizard egg.
One of Darrelâs chickens
The mud base with dried grass on top plus the color makes me 90% sure itâs a Robin nest
thats a big wildlife lol
This butterfly is pretty common around here, although I donât know its name. Some of yaâll probably do. What was odd though is that it repeatedly landed on me while planting in the garden, and literally followed me to different spots in the yard and would land on me again. This went on for a long time. It began to freak me out. It was quite attracted to the skin on my arm/hand for some reason. Maybe it was the salty sweat, although I did not feel sweaty. Or maybe the soil all over my hands from digging around in the dirt. I also used my hand/arm to stir and dissolve the Jackâs acid fertilizer in a big bucket of water, so maybe something in that water was attractive to it. I did have on a flower print top, but it didnât land on the top.
The black creature below the butterfly in the picture also followed me all around the garden. But I know what she wanted - lunch!
