19 May 2008 - Looking for a home

For the past several years, we have been trying to attract Blue Birds at our property where we have 5 Bluebird homes erected. About 3/4 mile north of our house is a development called Sage Creek. The Bluebirds have been roosting there for many years but normally you do not see them in our area.

This year we have had visitors and it appears that this Bluebird may adopted our Bluebird house in the front near the willows. Last week, a male and female checked out the houses but finally decided to move on. For the past couple days, this Bluebird has been sitting on top of the house and I have seen him picking up grass and moving it into the house. He does not appear to have a mate at this time but he continues to sit on top of the house hoping that she will find him soon.

29 Feb 2008 - Bunny Rabbit

The past few days have been warm and the snow is melting. Where we have shoveled snow the grass is showing through and our local bunny has been sitting outside the patio eating away at the grass.

06 Feb 2008 - Our Local Fox

After breakfast, I was in the kitchen and looked out our back window and the fox had just walked up to the top of the hill and was standing near the edge of the road. I ran to get my camera to take a picture but when I returned he was gone. As I walked back downstairs to tell Helen about missing the photo, I looked out the window and the fox had walked back down the hill and was laying in the snow near the willows. I ran back up stairs and was able to take several pictures (thru the window) of our local fox laying in the snow.
