LSM and I saw a pelican over the river when we were coming back from I do have a pair of cardinals here. Beautiful birds. I rejoice every time I see them. Hope they continue to return. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

I found two small bird eggs on the ground in my backyard a few days ago. It made me sad for the bird parents. ~Sue~ |

Unfortunately two 'repeat offenders' were euthanized in my neighborhood last week. And my trash disposal service wants us to put our cans/sacks out the night before...........this is the result. http://www.9news.com/news/local/two-bears-euthanized-in-last-24-hours/247765533 "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

I found two small bird eggs on the ground in my backyard a few days ago. Complete eggs or just shells? Most birds remove the egg shell from the nest after the chicks have hatched and dicard them a distance from the nest, this helps to keep predators away from the nest. Kevin |

I found two small bird eggs on the ground in my backyard a few days ago. One was a complete egg. The other was a broken, empty shell. ~Sue~ |

Anesthetize and relocate!! Geez how it pisses me off when they kill these animals for being themselves. ~Sue~ |

Agree. I hope there will be an invistigation like the Harambe the gorilla case why the animals had to be put down. |

Anesthetize and relocate!!Both animals had been previously relocated, the problem is people not being aware of or not caring how their activities attract bears. Bear 'proofing'(trash containers) should be required by law in all Colorado front range communities. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

Saturday night, went over (straddled without touching) a dark mass on the road that didn't look like a skunk, but sure smelled like one for a couple minutes. Sunday morning, noticed it was still there. Sunday night, failed to go over it and caught the edge, but it no longer smelled.

I've been noticing lightning bugs again. I had been a little worried about not seeing any in the last several years, but this summer I'm seeing a fair number flickering in the early dark of the evening here. It's nice. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

My in-laws in Wisconsin get them in the summer. Maybe the lightening bug population fluctuations you've noticed are based on dry vs wet summers? |

Stubborn reindeers besieging house in Skellefteå. Lena Sandberg says that the reindeers keep watch over the property when the owners are not home. "When they have been away from home and coming home the reindeers are like guard dogs on the bridge to the house," the police said. - They are also looking in through the kitchen window when we eat. Our kids think it's exciting but a little scary, says Lena. |

I'm surprised that the reindeer don't eat the potted plants. We have mule deer out here and they are like goats! There is very little they find unappetizing. |

I guess our reindeers are different here:) "They are not shy to help themselves to the family dining table outside, even though the two reindeers are not invited to the table" the police said. |

My in-laws in Wisconsin get them in the summer. Maybe the lightening bug population fluctuations you've noticed are based on dry vs wet summers? Or perhaps it depends on the previous winter? We have far more bugs than normal after a mild winter. ~Sue~ |

What Sue said sounds about right, but as far as lightning bugs go, I don't know how weather affects them. I'm just glad to see them. :~) The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

The wife and I were just commenting that we haven't seen any lightning bugs so far this year, which is not normal. Hopefully this is just natural cycles, and they will return in the future. Chipmunks, on the other hand, have overrun the place this year. |

Have little flying flashes at dusk. And three rabbits living around the yard. |

And three rabbits living around the yard. Lucky you. I haven't seen many rabbits at all this year, but I did see one bedraggled bunny under a tree in the rain, the other day. I couldn't figure out why he or she was out in that weather. My turtles on the other hand love rainy days! As for the flying flashes at dusk, I think you should report that to the local UFO agency.
