Midget Faded

Guests told Tom they'd seen a rattlesnake the evening before, about a week ago. The previous evening Linny had a snake slide across her shoe, though not a rattlesnake. While feeding Kobae, Tom just had a feeling and realized it was about the same time of evening of Linny's encounter the day before. Walking around behind the lodge, there he was. The midget faded was pretty cooperative getting in the trash can, transfer to the file folder, and further transport down the trail below False Chicken Corner where Tom releases them each year.

Cowbirds, Mission Accomplished.

For two months Linny and Tom have fed the Cowbirds trying to get them to hang out at the lodge. These are the R2D2 singers. If you've not heard their call, go here: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/brown-headed_cowbird/sounds  Some days they've counted as many as 14 and one day last week they were up to 22. Today well in excess of 50.
