Visitors from the Ravine

Since we're situated on a greenbelt, we have lots of birds... flickers, crows, chickadees, eagles (well at a distance), starlings, robins, sparrows, towhees, swallows, etc. But also four- and six-legged interlopers. Here's a fair sampling, most of whom survived our three Felis domestica.


Moles



June bugs



Mice



Luna moths



Shrews



Salamanders



Mammoth gastropods

Roadkill: Fair Warning

I went to the Animal Fair;
the birds and the beasts were there.






The big baboon by the light of the moon
was combing his auburn hair...

The most disturbing childhood song I've ever heard.

The monkey, he got drunk
and sat on the elephant's trunk...

What fell to its knees and caused the end of these critters?
