Plan B Forum

Great shot!

You might consider sharing that at the Naturalists Notebook Facebook page, lots of great wildlife photos (many birds) shared by regular folks.

But can you categorize a bird with this diet as "wildlife"?

Not when he turns up most days to be fed.

Hey, if somebody's going to toss me hamburger every day, I wouldn't spend my time scrounging around for worms either...

The robins are back.

I let my dog out last night and when she came back to the door a few minutes later, she had a dead robin in her mouth.

It was either killed by a neighborhood cat or flew into something and broke its neck, and she found it snuffling around while looking for the right spot to pee.

I always feel bad when she finds something like this, which she's very good at despite being blind - it's all nose. Once she found a deer foreleg while we were out walking, another time fish skin cast off by a fisherman at a pond we were walking by. She never tears into anything, she always carries it gently in her mouth and runs to find me to show me her terrific prize - and of course I always steal it away from her.

Hope springs eternal in my dumb dog's soul.
