Buzzard Invasion

And then there were,,, well I Couldn't count them all. I was indoors trying to cool off, I normally have the big dogs in the late afternoons on weekends cooling, Mila was in I think. Shebaroosome was out stretching her long legs, and I heard her fussing about something, So I walked out to the deck to see. BUZZARDS everywhere, just across the electric fence one side of the pond. I couldn't see what they were fixated/eating on. I tried taking multiple pictures but dunno what. Hopefully it was deceased already. Its so grown up back there and too many snakes, so I didn't go where the tall grass grows. OF course They flew away, I walked the open side of the pond. Notices a small new tree with lots of broken limbs. DID THEY DO T HAT?? or was the storm the day before that bad. There were small limbs everywhere, and multiple buckets had blown away from the shed and chicken house. BUZZARDS are larger than what most people imagine??? I meant to get a picture or movie of Sheba running the fence line checking them out. roaring like the half lion dog she is TOO fast. I hope she doesn't overheat herself today if they return.

people imagine????

DO NOT FEED the WILD ANIMALS?????????

WELL the snappers that is,,,, thanx to a rehabber/rescuer i work with, I watch turtles now in the broken down pond out back. this is the dam area. IT gets very low this time of year, For some reason a couple of large Snappers decided to live in this area, maybe because of the BUNCHES or is that schools of minnows? However, i have grown fond of treating the turtles (all kinds) snacks of scraps, (watermelon rind) tomatoes etc. THE SNAPPERS now watch for me every afternoon about 5:30 or so. Last weekend I forgot to take something, they saw me and one started up the bank.. I DECIDED it was time to exit (stage right) . One dude trys to run the other off at times. I know there is at least one LARGER , but I have not seen it lately.

seeya,
THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

What a surprise I recieved when I slid open the side of a blue bird house to do some fall cleaning. SOMETHING stared back at me, not sure what since I could only see a wiggly nose and a fairly large EYE. YIKES. i slid it shut and collected the camera, YEP it was still there, I really can't tell what it is, some sort of rodent, is it a baby? IT sure didnt' run for the hills, too small for a squirrel surely with a blue bird size  hole. chipmunk??? I dunno, I took a picture, can you see it??? I'll check back in a few days to see if its still there.
