Out for the sunrise (and looking at a bird).

When you look at the bird, the bird looks back.

Yesterday, someone brought me a baby quail they found in their garage after the rest of the family fled. I'm always the rescue for found animals. It's so small it would fit on a quarter, but it's legs are longer than it's body. It looks like a tiny ostrich. I've raised many found nesting bird babies with watery gruel and an eye dropper, but it turns out quail are completely different. They are not fed by their mother like that. They are born ready to feed themselves. I made a granular food of egg yolk and dried meal worms. I just tap my finger in the food and it starts eating it. Same with the water. It just wants to be held all the time. Adorable.

Meade is bird watching, a female with golden locks.

It's like a Hitchcock movie over here. Now I just found an adult Morning Dove in my garage. I just walked up to it and picked it up, and it let me. Maybe it's over-heated. It's 112 here right now with less than 10% humidity. We let her cool down in the air conditioning for a while, then took her outside where she just hung with us and let us pet her before she flew off and burst into flames in the sky. OK, the flames part was made up, but it could happen.

I still think they need a good bombing, and there is a decent chance they may still insist on it, but for now, give peace a chance, you murderous nut jobs.
