Drama at Duskfall

Redwing Blackbirds

Willa-Cat-Her pussyfootin’ across our property.

Wile E. Coyote left Wile Etta Coyote behind.

What is Osric Owl looking at?

A pesky Cooper’s Hawk chattering at him like a monkey.

Nora Owl peers out from her nest.

    • “Blackbirds and coyotes, hawks high on peyote. Cat’s pussyfootin’ and wowls who are hootin'” Those are a few of Shey’s favorite things. Thanks, Shey.

  1. Blackbirds joy, kitty tip-toeing, Wile E. and Wile Etta Coyote happy couple walk, Osric Owl chatting with Cooper’s Hawk and giving a report to Nora Owl. All’s well in paradise!

    • “Kitties tip-toeing and blackbirds a snoring. Wile E a walking and a Cooper’s Hawk talking.” Those are a few of Marina’s favorite things. Thanks, Marina.

  2. i just love all these names you’ve come up with

    reminds me of beatrix potter’s books

    Jemina duck and Timmy Tiptoes is “a little fat comfortable grey squirrel are some of her characters.

    Willa- Cat, I love her name

  3. I love your reports from the bosque, Tim.The photos are beautiful. I can picture you walking about and interviewing the residents.

    That Willa cat has some striking markings. She looks like a big kitty, too.

  4. Holy Hannah, that’s a lot of blackbirds, Tim. All the critters seem to be pretty active. I guess it’s just that spring is in the air (despite the wintry turn of the temperatures for a few days). Hugs.

  5. Man, I love all this animal activity! What a great spot you’re in.

    So, I threw a bunch of stale bread out onto the flat roof behind my kitchen window. When Jeep saw all the grackles, she went nuts. The 2 of us stood at the window (bonding) making racket for about 10 minutes.

    That’s about it for the animal activity here. xo

  6. I can say without question that Cooper’s is out gunned when it comes to that GHO. They’ll take out a Eagle if it looks at them cross-ways the Coops don’t come close to the Eagle’s capabilities. Cute cat, assume it isn’t one of yours..maybe looking for a play date. It might want to stay away from Wile E. Coyote though.

    • A Cooper’s hawk swooped down to check out Will-Cat-Her. She ducked for cover. Wile E. keeps himself well fed. I’ve seen Daddy Owl take out a Cooper’s hawk pestering the owlets. I’ve also seen him attack coyotes walking by on the ditch back. That’s why I say we are lucky the owls put up with us. Thanks, Brian.
