DAVE WROTE: Hi Jim, We are well covered with snow now. Here are some pictures for the log. Horned Larks and a Snow Bunting. The larks breed all across the USA. The Bunting breeds in the high arctic on the tundra. In the winter they both gather around farms and in the fields where farmers spread manure. This was a little odd a there were only 3 buntings with 2 or 3oo Larks.  Dave

HERE ARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS ABOUT ANIMALS:
Our world  is of animals and people.  By assigning human features to each individual animal, we can understand and enjoy our world better.
We relate to each of our acquaintances  based on the features our brain automatically assigned to them – each acquaintance gets different features assigned to them because we are all different and our brain knows that .
Each animal is an individual also, but  we need to help our brain think about the individuality of each animal.  If we do, that it will help us better enjoy our association with the world through the human and animal residents of the world we cohabitate.

Heather has 3 dogs – They each watch the bird feeder as if it was a TV – I never saw an attempt to disturb the birds. This wall is  Ivy’s private TV chair.  Just like my Mom had here own TV chair – no one would dare sit in it and no other dog attempts to take Ivy’s wall.

Ivy has her TV watching chair even in the snow!

This dog wants to perform. It is in her brain to perform like a movie star dancer. I have a Granddaughter that wants to be a star in the performing arts – You see, Granddaughters and dogs each have their individual features.

In the video below, why did that one crane lay down and the rest kept moving?  I do not know how it is different – but it is.   Anyway, I think I can assign the feature of grace to all the cranes – they really move with grace. Just like a movie star of the 50’s gliding across the floor.

Jim was at the barn with Sue, his wife , and her horse.  He assigned the feature of human boredom to her horse. He said he did not know a horse got bored. I said he is looking at you – Dance or something – he is telling you that you are boring him.

Macy is not bored – She found a groundhog! AND it is not groundhogs day!

Heather assigned the human feature of hunger to the Groundhog and tried to fix that human feature.

In this case, it worked.  –  Click on the link below –

 

Lake Judy – I bet he is hungry

DO NOT EVER EVER DO THIS — DO NOT FEED THE ALLIGATOR!!!!!!!!

help….. BEYOND HELP… NEVER FEED THE ALLIGATOR – ALL GATORS   WILL EAT YOU  – SOME WILL KILL YOU FASTER THEN OTHERS – THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE

Each day I see three different armadillos – I have been trying to train them – this one shows promise and the others do not – they are each different – I tap the soil and this one will come to the tapping stick – he comes to investigate – he finds no worm or beetle and goes away.  Maybe I can get him to roll over if I bring a pocket full of beetles to reward him –  not there yet – he just turns and moves away!  Click on the following

 

As you swing through life, think of animals as individuals , each with its own features. That will help us enjoy our world more.
