Not sure of its migrant status Henry, but it wasn't dazed from hitting a window. Son said the bird kept flitting around him while he was mulching so he stopped and held his hand out. He was shocked when it landed on his finger. It stayed for only 20-30 seconds then flew off.

Stairs, before and after.
Stairs, before and after.
My Wife wanted Wrought Iron Ballasters, and to pull the carpet off the stairs and finish the wood. . . .
. .
Unfortunately, when the house was built, the stairs were just thrown together. So I had to rip out all the risers and treads, because some were cracked, and as usual with new home construction, there wasn't a square board in the bunch.
The new risers are painted pine, but I purchased one inch thick Red Oak Treads, stained them, and finished them with satin polyurethane.
I had to number each riser and tread, and custom fit each one. For instance, the back of a tread would measure 34" & 3/16, and the front would be 34" & 3/4. It was very time consuming, custom fitting each plank.
Me and the Missus were pleased. I think I didn't do too bad for a Hillbilly !!
Took me three weekends, and some days during the week.

Hackbow, good thing you kept you dog in the boat. My friends told me there were about 100 yards from their coon hounds when they heard the ruckus. The dogs were running a coon but it must have crossed the stream. They got to the stream just in time to see the otter had drowned a large hound. The otter got away and they said it wasn't the first time this had happened.

Hackbow - That squirrel photo posted on May 3rd looks like some color phase of fox squirrel... Can I ask what state?
That piebald squirrel posted on April 9th from Arkansas is a grey squirrel... That's a pretty cool color, haven't seen one of that color, although we have different color phases of greys around here, will post a few photos when a chance...

Years ago I had an uncle that lived on Kent Island Maryland. The squirrels in his yard were jet black. It was said it was from inbreeding. They were big and really pretty. He caught two in a live trap and brought them to my father. My father kept them in a cage in the back yard next to a feeder for a couple weeks. Then he opened the door on the cage. They hung around for two or three years. I had a feeder near a ground blind in the woods nearby. They would come to my feeder and the grey squirrels didn't like it one bit. They finally disappeared. They never did breed with the grey squirrels. I wondered if someone driving by shot them.
From: Zbone
07-May-17
Those black squirrels (again, melanistic) are likely eastern grey squirrels, same species, and color due to genetics and not due to interbreeding... As seen above, they can come in a variety of different colors and have even seen them with jet black bodies with rust tails and visa versa, some with different colored saddles, and about every shad in between, some are very unique... Have yet to see a pure white around here though...
Strange thing though, in my local area I'm guessing they're about 60 - 70% black, maybe 20 - 30% normal grey colored (white bellies and all) and probably around 10% of these unique colors in between, but the strange thing is 5 or so miles either direction I don't see these unique colors, they are either jet black, or normal colored greys... Its genetics...

Zbone - the black and orange squirrel is in Texas, about 30 miles east of Dallas. Pretty sure it's a fox squirrel. I'm hoping to get a better picture. The piebald grey is definitely the coolest I've seen. Thanks for sharing all the different color phases you get to see.

Here's a couple of pics of a piebald grey squirrel that was coming to our birdfeeder in the backyard for a few weeks, but we haven't seen it for quite a while. I figured it would do okay because it was far more wary and quicker than all of the normal freeloaders.

This was my second close encounter, I was bowhunting/ calling elk in Colorado. Turned around and the cat was crouched about 15 feet behind me (big Tom)!
No pics that time, I actually drew my bow on him, and he flipped around and walked off.

The second bunny is a mother and has babies in my wife's raised bed flower garden. She keeps them spotless but let some grass grow in this one since this is the second batch of baby rabbits in there this year. My wife can spot a rabbit nest like a pro. I spray my garden with Deer and rabbit repellent and it keeps the critters from eating it.
