Early summer ?? Hit 92 /93 the last few days.
Fun & funny,
Hawk seems to be playing more than hunting. While outside the other day he came in 3 times, not interested in the doves. Had bunny rabbit on its mind. Rabbit lives in the wood pile, he was all over it up, down & so on. Sort of the same a few other times. When serious he hides up high & dives in. Throwing out seeds the other day in the corner of my eye, I saw the biggest dove ever :laughing: Then it turned & looked at me, it was the hawk, about 39 feet away, just sat & watched as I threw out the seeds.
Way too many doves, must be over a 100 coming in. Quail seem to get here a little late,, not many seeds left by then.Heard the owl (S) a few nights ago. Sounded like it was 3/ 4 hundred yards north. After a while 2 about 1/2 mile south started to answer. Knew there were 2, 1 adult & 1 that sounded like a youngster. Didn't last long.
At least 2 packs of coyotes around here 1 north & another south. + Maybe another north west.
Grand dad was a character.
He had a buffalo hock that had been stretched over a stump & dried. When someone would ask what it was.
" Scalp of the last Indian killed in Arizona. When ask how it was killed. " He came to the door asking for a handout &
Grandma killed him with a mop."
A bear has a bone in his *****, grand day had several, when some dudes & there ladies would show & have a mixed drink, he stirred the drink & left the bone in it.
After a while someone would ask what it was. After he told them, not many would finish their drink.
He acquired a 50 Chevrolet that had been shortened to just behind the cab & dual wheels added. In those days it was a trailer hauler. We 3went uptown one day to have a beer. Where he parked the sidewalk was about a foot high. He gave it a little gas & up over the walk it went & then bonk down. He looked at me a big grin on his face & said " If they didn't want the SOB run over they would not have put the GD thing there.
Later on while mom was living with him, they would go uptown & have a drink, ( Never seen mom have a drink. ) Most everyone in the bar would buy him a drink About 2 or 3 was all he wanted. As the drinks kept coming He had a pint bottle under his jacket & when no one was looking he'd pour the drink in the bottle. character.
Drinking too much beer.

:licking: It is so nice & quite out side I go for 1 or 2 & wind up with 3 or 4.
More later Time for a Beer.:laughing:
