Okay Gals,
You are all very knowledgable about theses animals. Wow!

I will be printing out these posts to reread and make my notes. I just bought book of North America birds so I can look up what I see. It's has good pictures and shows where the mostly live.
I've always loved nature but more landscapes and the culture that goes with it. We love the Great Lakes, history of early settlers, lighthouses, ships, ship wrecks, glaciers, rocks. Now to learn about the animals.
I keep seeing what I think are cranes with their legs long and behind them as they fly but maybe they are herons...must ask them to land so I can observe!
I now have some activities to fill some time. You people are GREAT!
Please keep sharing the pictures. I process those the easiest and LOVE being able to share and to be shared with.
Winic1 I love your pics. The degus are adorable. Do they get along with the cats? I've never seen one before today.
After my injury I became determined to have chickens. Buf Orpington's. At least 2. My family looked at me like I had a brain injury! Someday I will have my chickens.
