I saw a cardinal on the rail of our deck this morning. The birds are still around Nashville, but our backyard isn't large enough for many. Your crane reminded me of one I'd see every morning around a pond on my great-uncle's farm near St. Augustine when I was a kid.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments on my saga in Kaye Barley's blog last week.<BR/><BR/>http://chestercampbell.blogspot.comChester Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155257451021065218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-25758334105072198262009-03-08T19:58:00.000-05:002009-03-08T19:58:00.000-05:00Oh, I love your pictures, Carol.

A couple of weeks ago one of the cats was trying to sneak up on him, and he took off! Scared of a cat! I think Felix felt mighty proud of himself for scaring big bird. Haha. One of these days, I'll get a picture of him.<BR/><BR/>I used to keep ducks and geese, but eventually something got all of them and I gave up on raising them for coyotes or other wild critters.<BR/><BR/>Hope your Sunday has been lovely. We had 75 degrees today, and I enjoyed it out with friends.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>RenieRenie Burghardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660484248593903002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-58876398789863676462009-03-08T19:26:00.000-05:002009-03-08T19:26:00.000-05:00Love the names that you give the birds!

I have a few doves that visit and one very mischievious squirrel who lounges on my chair everyday, twice a day! I do see herons flying overhead though...and sometimes at night I hear owls. Oh, and my husband saw a bobcat once. Guess I DO have some wildlife!
