Daily Photo Reprise: Kelly Waits, the Wren, 2011

Kelly has been wondering if the same wren couple will return to nest in the window box outside the dining room window, even though it was two years ago they visited us. Kelly, active and loquacious as she is, has the capacity to sit quietly and be completely still for

From the Archives: Wrong Color Camo, 2006

Cookie truly believes she’s used her environment to her best advantage in stealthily monitoring the doves on the feeder. It’s unfortunate that Cookie’s feline color perceptions can’t really tell that pink and green does not mask black and orange, but what do I know, I’m just a human, and humans

Daily Photo Reprise: Al Fresco, 2011

Mimi was not so lucky today—we stepped out to feed the birds and she only too the time to sniff a few things then run back inside! We’ve been going outside every day all winter long, but Cookie found the snow and ice just weren’t fun anymore on her 19-year-old

It’s the Great Backyard Bird Count!

I was so taken with thoughts of gardening this past week I didn’t even take time to post information about the Great Backyard Bird Count! And if, as I am, you are concerned about all the articles citing declining songbird species and putting the blame on cats in general, especially stray

It’s All the Fault of Those Pesky Humans

I thought I’d set these people straight a few months ago, but here the same culprits have come out with yet another “study”, what’s known as a “derivative study” which uses the data and results of other studies to form its own conclusions. This is not uncommon, but it stands

February 2, Not Just for Groundhogs, Well, Ever

Why all the fuss about whether or not this rodent sees his shadow? February 2 isn’t “just” Groundhog Day and a holiday made by humans to break up the middle of cold winter season. It’s actually an occurrence in nature that humans have observed and found reason to celebrate long

Your Backyard Wildlife Habitat: Helping Avian Friends in Snowy Weather

Clean off those branches, put out some seed and suet if you can, and don’t forget the all-important water! I’d be remiss if I didn’t keep Cat TV up and running, even in cold and snowy weather! Not only does birdwatching provide my cats with healthy entertainment and environmental enrichment,
