    I've done almost no work all day.  Here's a snap from a cam trap video @ Starr Ranch SoCal, where researchers are... researching the Mountain Lion/Cougar/Puma population - this was a "kitten" (getting on for teenager I'd say) walking down the trail with its mother and sibling:

    The birds are infected  Highley contagious canker for the want of better word

    Did you see the info published somewhere or diagnose it by studying the birds?  I didn't realise that canker is another word for trichomonosis - which killed the entire Pot Plant Owl family in Jo'burg Cry

    11 Oct - they don't seem aware, they refilled the feeder in the evening:

    The Mojave cam has been offline for more than a day - and I can't find out why :(((

    The last significant visitor was a coyote:

    Dear Heather found us a mouse (I think) Mouse

    Dutch "forest" (I'm not at all convinced  AngryStuck out tongue winking eye )

    I noticed this bird (before I knew it was a Blackbird) yesterday, due to its suspicious-looking left eye, now it's back again:


    Remember my unusual ginger rabbit?  Well this seals the deal - these ain't wild!... but no less gorgeous, nevertheless - hoping to get a full-body snap some time Heart eyes cat

    Meal break here.

    Not a dingo!  Labrador cross, I'd say Grinning

    Even though its heavily processed  My best guess would be Female Blackbird

    Oh dear, sorry to hear that! Frowning2  It's going around, my friend has been fluey for several days, he hopes he's getting over it now, hope you will very soon.  I've been taking it easy due to general tiredness and the usual aches 'n pains, am hoping for a surge of energy in the near future Upside down

    That's really bad news about the Blackbird, I didn't even think its beak looked right for that, there's no hope for me!

    I thought it might be a thrush, same family as BB though!   I googled European Thrush & looked at 'images'

  • Hi Wendy you did not say what the result was??
