Good morning!
AMPS 173 shooting 1.5u

Boomer ate all of his overnight fuds. I tried cutting down the extra food at +3 just a bit but he woke me around 4:00. I didn't get up; his feeder opens at 4:30.

Allen ate ok last night but left some fuds in his dish which is unusual.

The family lunch yesterday was good! We had beautiful weather for the drive!

Today on the Bean's agenda.....well I have a Dr appt at 12:45 and I want to go for a walk; just not sure whether to go this morning or later this afternoon. Right now it's dull and a bit foggy out but this afternoon there is a possibility of thunderstorms.

A few days ago I was outside and heard a new bird. I could see it in our tree but couldn't identify it....it was too badly backlit by the sun. Later that day I heard it and headed outside with my camera. It was sitting in our evergreens. It ended up being a bird that I had never seen before, a Grey Catbird. My first thought was that it sounded nothing like a cat. Then the following day it sat on our deck and meowed. Seriously. Allen and Boomer seemed to realize that it wasn't a cat but it sure could have fooled me! This bird and it's mate are still hanging around our backyard and I've seen several since when I've been out for my walks.

 

That is super cool and now my favorite bird! We mainly have doves, lots of quail which are funny and a few humming birds...that's it.

Hope Allen eats all his fuds today and Boomer will be back in the lagoon in no time. Enjoy your walk Judy

 

I would love to have hummingbirds! I see the odd one fly through but that's about it.

 

My mom lives a mile from me and has had a group of small parrots that fly around. We're pretty sure they were once someone's pets as they are certainly not native and it's the only place I see them.

 

Very cool bird that meows. Wonder if it's in the mockingbird family?

Glad you had a nice time with the family.

 

For anyone that is interested, here is a youtube video with a Catbird "meowing".

 

OMG! Moo was looking around like....not another kitten mom!

 

Wow - that's wild...it sounds just like a kitten! Appy vines for Allen!

 

That is so cool! Hope Allen eats his food today.

I played that video with Baby sitting in the chair beside me. She jumped down and went to look for the cat. LOL.

I hope Boomer and Allen eat good for you today.

Ooh! My civvie came a-running as soon as she heard that!

Lol, my little civvie girl thought there was a kitty stuck in the "magic sitz box" (laptop)!

I hope your boys eat well for you!
