Is that a "watcha doing around my feeder" or a "where is the syrup" hovering stare down????

I am saddened to report this and, unfortunately, it is following the picture of Mom and Baby Bison from Lala. The headline on page 2 of The Catalina Islander for Aug. 28 reads, "Conservancy offers $1,000 Reward for Killer of Bison Calf" The head of this calf, which was less than a year old, was found off Marble Quarry Road on the West End...the body of the calf was not found. I do not ever remember an incident like this on Catalina. The Conservancy takes great care and pride in managing these animals for the benefit of the Island community and its visitors. Hopefully someone will come forward to identify the person or persons responsible. Sorry to post sad news. Chiquita |

Great bird shots today. I have a question about the goldfinches. What do you all think is the best feeder for them? I have a tube feeder, but right now all I see is 1 male goldfinch. He's very pretty, but I never see the female. And I assume I'm just seeing the same one over and over. Just curious which type of feeders attract more of them (sock feeder, or tube or???) I do have several hummingbirds that like to visit my oriole feeder. Sometimes they have disagreements over who gets to use the feeder first!

Chiquita, I'm afraid the profile of people living around Avalon is changing... There is an element living there that does not seem to match the feelings most of us have in protecting the Island and its creatures...I just see changes every time I visit... walking the back streets ... I feel the calf killing probably was a macho thing to do and was probably used for food... That just break my heart, but I'm glad you told us... |

How macho is it to be a calf killer?? If you ask me, its not macho, its stinking cowardly! I just want to scream when I hear things like this! This is a family site so I will shut up now cause I am going to start swearing like a sailor! |

Well, I will post something nice instead. Jim has almost gotten my backyard "done"! He's laying down the sod right now and just about finished doing that. I am so excited! My backyard actually looks like a backyard and not a bare deserty yard. I put the quotes because there will still be stuff I want to do but will have to take slowly as I can't afford to do it all at once. :wacko: But now Jossy (and Allan when he is old enough) will have a nice place to play! We are going to look at patio dining sets and firepits later and when all the tools and stuff are cleaned up I will get pics to post for you to see. Woooohooooo! This is the 1st time I have EVER had a nice backyard in the 33 yrs. we have lived here! |
