We occasionally get the odd visitor or two just passing by
the Wood pile. Just this morning, this big fellow stopped by to munch on a pile
of crack corn. I almost tipped over backwards, trying to look up at him. I
decided to say hello. Turns out he lives across the pond. I asked how he got to
this side of the pond. He told me flew! I found it hard to believe such a big
bird could fly so far. When he was done with his feast, he bid farewell, and
gracefully took off and flew back across the pond. Wow, I was impressed.
Early this week, we had a very curious visitor. Let me
describe her. She walks on four legs, and her fur is made up of thousands are
very sharp barbs. I don’t recommend trying to pat her. I offered her some corn
and sunflowers but she said no thank you. She asked if we had any fresh bark to
chew on. Who eats bark? Since there was nothing to eat, she sauntered on her
way. I had never seen such a critter before and had to ask mom what species she
was. She is called a porcupine.
