The many windows in our home bring the outdoors in, and we feed birds outside, too..and every other creature in our valley!<br /><br />Today I saw a rather large fox. I heard the sharp-shinned parents and eyasses calling to each other. I hear my beloved bluebirds, but only one has revealed himself to me. Last year, we had 2 nests..<br /><br />It's my neighbor's birthday today--she's 9. She shares my fascination for all creatures in our sphere.

I feel like I am taking a course in falconry and loving every minute of it. Boy, are we all happy that our eyasses got along- we would NOT have been happy to see them attacking each other. It was bad enough watching them eat pigeons and rats, etc.<br /><br />mmggolferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
