Lucky, Holly, Fox, Sharon, and More - UPDATE October 25, 2023

Holly

Lucky
I remember Lucky and Holly lying close with their noses almost touching a few days ago. More recently, they couldn’t seem to find comfortable positions. Holly made a quick movement with her hind leg and Lucky left, making me wonder if space was the main issue. Today, Lucky and Holly came to the fence calmly and peacefully standing side by side. Later they both entered Den 1, leaving us wondering if they can settle down together in the space available. Holly seems to be calling the shots on whether Lucky can stay. Lucky keeps trying. They are together in Den 1 at this moment.

Again, Sharon’s Bear News from October 21 is as informational and full of great pictures as ever. https://bear.org/bear-news-october-21-2023/

With more information from feeders who know 3-year-old Fletcher well, I believe we can now say the one bear still visiting here is him. He is here now.

Red Fox
Red Fox
The red fox creates excitement each day with his visits as he patiently sits knowing he has trained us in the way we should go and will get what he expects. We jump to do just that.

The two high officials from the Central American country were stimulating company today at the Bear Center. Both have been around the world, visiting with leaders of other countries and getting amazing insights into how the world works. We’re going to keep in contact and see what might be feasible. Their goal is to divert young people from gang life to a life involved in wildlife. They have already made big gains in their country and are looking for ways to go bigger. We’ll see what develops.

Thank you for all you do,

It has been brought to my attention and TY Alice today is natl mule day asked if we will be celebrating it of course we do every day now!

As for the relevance of the date itself, Mule Day is held on Oct. 26 in recognition of Oct. 26, 1785, the day when a Spanish donkey ordered by George Washington arrived to create American mules

[johoward]

5:01  Happy Mule Day Indy.
Thanks Alice for pointing that out and sharing the interesting origin.  What would we do without you? We really appreciate your well chosen jokes too.  Just so you know.
No news again today.  I have just been fooling around on the cams all morning.
 I will go out soon around the block for my mail.  I did look at my email from the postal site.  There is only one piece of mail showing.  It is junk mail.  However, I do get my paper by mail these days.  So it is a worthwhile trip, and I get a little exercise too.  I will have some reheated lunch afterward while I read some of the paper.  My fridge is packed with leftovers from my Crockpot dinner and from neighbor Lorrie. 
Tomorrow I will go to lunch at Olive Garden with a few remaining classmates from The Columbia High School Class of 1957. Wow! 66 years have passed, and I still recall lots of memories of those high school days.  They were the best!
I will say bye for now and GBU EV1 as well as Israel and Ukraine.

Cal     You are right about an Eagle not trying to get one of your dogs.  Predators have to avoid being injured when they are hunting, so they eat big animals if the animal is dead already, and catch small animals live, the talons doing the killing,  I had an interesting conversation with a expert on Predator Birds once when a Great-Horned Owl went after a Dachshund that I had before I had Maddie.  The man that I spoke to doubted the Owl (largest Owl out here) could have lugged Hansi off, but if he used his talons on the dog, Hansi's muscles and neck and back area would have been torn up and the hit might have broke his neck.  I doubt the eagle would be stupid enough to go after your girls.  It would be too risky for the eagle.

Joho     It sounds like you have some nice plans for tomorrow, 

[calhound]

Hi you guys its 64 here but saying temps to plummet late this afternoon and no rain till tomorrow afternoon and into the night but may be snow instead i hope sick of the mud and barn flooded but not real bad got pellets down and now no rain so that helps. saw on the weather channel places it was 17 and showing snowy areas. its 38 in ice 63 in kviv 68 in the barn. i gave those 3 raccoonies dry dog food always fill up 5 pans 3 pans of water and some cookies my possum she came out was up high on hay looking at me i give her a twinkie for one and then some fancy cakes and heading back to indy he was having a fit feed me a raccoonie got up the hay and taking away possums fancy cake she was scooting back upset i took my cane and whacked that raccoonie on her big fat butt she got down so i had to stayed there and make sure possum got her cakes.

hi neva your right about eagle not thinking of picking on one of my girls be one crazy eagle thank goodness that owl did not pick on your hansi! i would worry about maybe cause she likes to go but danger she runs fast to that back hidey hole it is pretty hidden back there too. not big enough for any dog or fox etc big raccoonies can get thru though. i know you say predators have to avoid being injured but i have seen on the highway red tail hawks so driven on their prey just zoom out not looking for cars at all. so far when i saw that cars were able to brake for them.  eagle for after the girls like going after jim or indy or sweets  diamondbacks game one at 7 pm at texas against texas rangers


hi joho hope you have a good time today and eating at the olive garden! i know you will like that and seeing old classmates. wish my mail would of been junk yesterday got our tax bill and day before that house and all our autos insurance.

[johoward]

5:33 Yes, I did have a nice reunion lunch.  I took a little album of wallet size high school senior pictures.  It was appreciated by all who looked at them.  Good memories, and several related how each looked the last time they saw them.  Usually at a reunion.  Some related their health status.  Seems I have been very fortunate health wise.
I stopped to drop off a lot of old hearing aids at the shop that has my Yamaha 650.  I told them I would give them to the mom who can't hear good when I came to get my bike. This never did happened.   Been three years now and no bike.  So I gave up and just took the bag of hearing aids to the daughter for her mom.
 Well Joyce did not make it to lunch, and was supposed to.  I am worried for her safety.  Betty was going to stop there on her way home to see if help is needed.  Betty has a broken arm and a broken leg.  So she took Sam with her to help if needed.  They will not call me.  I will call all of them later to check in on Joyce.
Twenty minutes until 4 now.  Feel tired.  Want to go out for Friday fish at 6.  So I think I will grab a few winks soon. First I will check the cams, and emails.

I hope all is well with everyone.

Cal    That Owl was intending to get Hansi.  I was standing on the porch and it didn't see me, but saw Hansi as he walked across the yard.  The Owl swooped down, next to the porch at my shoulder level, heading right for Hans, and we saw each other at that moment.  The Owl changed it's flight path and flew up to the roof of the neighbor's house, and watched us from there.  The man who I discussed all this with told me not to let him go out alone and for me to stand out in the yard where the Owl could see me.  He said he doubted the Owl could lift Hans, but the hit and his talons could damage or actually kill him by breaking his neck or back.  Hans was a Miniature Dachshund, but on the large side.  We still have the Owls going through here at night and early morning, and they often go through here in pairs, but not always.

I will be sure to watch some of the Series.

Joho      Sounds like that was a good get together of a nice group of people.   Has that shop ever bothered to explain to you why they are not working on your bike?  Larry and I went through something somewhat like that with a car that needed some repair.  It was frustrating.

 Baseball Catch ...  22:23    84°  (2:44 pm)   Sunny, clear and windy.

I hope that everyone is doing well today.

Cal     I did watch a couple of hours or so of the game.  Got to hear about different players and see George W. toss the ball out.  I am a fan of his because of his sense of humor, so I was glad to see him.  Then I went on to watch another program that my daughter and I watch -   Chicago PD.  I am sorry they lost the first game, but there is time to win it.

Hi Joho   

[johoward]

Hi EV1,
 It is late here.  Almost 2AM.  I missed the first series game.  Don't know why.  I did see the second game today, or last night, I should say.  It was a blow out.  Now both have won a game. So still even up. Good luck Neva.  I will be rooting for the Snakes, but they will need to get a few more runs. Yay Buckeyes. 8 and 0.
My bike is safe, but not yet fixed by a long shot.  I talked to the shop owner, and do not have a lot of hope they can fix it.  I do have the title.  The owner offered to find a buyer, but I told him I still want to ride.
Bye now I better turn in before the sun comes up. LOL CUL EV1 GBU , GB Israel, and GB Ukraine.

Change is in the Air - UPDATE October 28, 2023

Red fox
This morning, the beaver lodge stood out brightly with its first dusting of snow of this fall. Could the snow be a factor in Lucky and Holly settling into their den for the night, or was it just that they found a better way to jointly share the limited space in the den?

Beaver Lodge with the first snow of the season

A big change in the last few days is the barren look of the forests with nearly all the leaves suddenly down. Tamaracks (a.k.a. Larches (Larix laricina) are now the main color with their yellow needles.

Some things stayed the same. The intermittent snow showers of yesterday did not deter the usual visit by 3-year-old Fletcher in the dark of night or the red fox visits both day and night.


Blue jays

;Chickadee
Chickadee
Hairy woodpecker
Hairy woodpecker
A big change here is the feeding spots being overwhelmed by the flock of blue jays that has grown to fourteen (7 shown in the picture). With so many blue jays, I didn’t realize at first that another flock had also grown. When the sun was going down and the blue jays left, I realized that our flock of chickadees had suddenly grown from two or three to at least a dozen that had waited unnoticed in the trees until their competition left and they could swarm in fast to gather energy for overnight. Today, with our feeding sites expanded for the chickadees to find, they still had to compete with the occasional woodpecker like this male hairy woodpecker that is looking alert as a female (his mate?) flew in to feed nearby.

In the next few days, we’ll see if Lucky and Holly will tuck in together for the winter and how long Fletcher will continue his visits.

Thank you for all you do,
