We've got some pretty white cranes meandering around and the burrowing owls who live in the decorative rock next door have been out. Then there are the ominous looking blackbirds who like to sit atop the mast of the boat. And you know what they like to deposit up there!<BR/>DonnettaDonnettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831771508607746472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-22664892336137019372007-07-06T16:18:00.000-05:002007-07-06T16:18:00.000-05:00That's very nice Charles.

Evolution favors the fattest chicks because they can survive longer without food.<BR/><BR/>I envy your backyard wildlife. I prefer urban life, but it limits me to watching lizards, squirrels, the birds attracted to our fig tree and flowering plants, and an occasional snake.Shauna Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871768714926149114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-74895797512771197152007-07-06T11:12:00.000-05:002007-07-06T11:12:00.000-05:00I'm jealous.

I did not know that the parents still feed their young when they're out of the nest. So maybe we humans aren't so different afterall!cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.com
