Last day in Paradise was packed full of wildlife and family! I started the day with petting a mule on the dirt road and then I stopped at a house that I spotted a white pig at one day and discovered many more residents. I visited my niece Lorris' dogs again holding onto my camera very tightly this time! lol And my niece took me to a place where they have 4 White-tailed deer as pets. They rescued one with a broken leg and nursed it back to health and couldn't part with it and now they have 4 of them in their backyard. I've had the time of my life here the past 4 weeks and I am sad to be leaving my family and wild friends. My bus rolls out of the station at 8:20am tomorrow morning with a scheduled return to Rochester at 2:40pm on Monday afternoon. See ya!

This went Viral quick! Awesome man!

Thanks for posting this Jeanne.  That was wonderful.   

Maybe this?

Lou

It does look very close, except the tail looks too white in MAK's pic.  The Zone Tail Hawk has broad stripes of white and brown.  Maybe just the angle.  Hmmmmm.  I've certainly never seen a Z-Hawk before. 

Tonight we are up to TEN bids! 

There's still a little less than 4 days to go on this auction.

Oh!  This is spooky!   

Here's a picture I found from 2005 showing Mariah and Orville.   

Here's a fresh link for astounding photos by Rick Remington of a battle between a snowy owl and a peregrine last winter -  . . . a block from where I live. A snowy spent most of last winter in the harbor.
I'm hoping . . . that'd be a good neighbor.

(btw the search function DOES work much better from the forum main page!)

That is such an awesome series of pics.  Interesting to see the Snowy go talons up by flipping over to defend itself.  I'd sure think twice about coming into contact with those huge feathery talons!  Yikes!  Glad it ended with neither bird being injured.

Thanks for posting this Dale!   

Nice pics MAK!  Very nice of your sister to get you a camera.   

Tonight we are up to 9 bids!  That's terrific!  Thanks to all that are bidding!
