Critter Report

One of the fawns down by Lila's tire swing.

There's been a doe and two fawns hanging around in our yard recently. The fawns are crazy. They dig in the dirt and jump all around like little kids. I spray this nasty stuff on my flowers to keep them out of my garden. It's made from rotten eggs. Yummy. But it seems to work so it's all good.

I'm not a bird watcher so I don't know their names, but there's these little birds who like to peck on our wood siding. We chase them off by banging a broom or something at them. When you hear them, it's a little pecking noise. But when a real woodpecker comes around....dang. It's like a freekin' jack hammer. It's very loud, very fast and it vibrates the house. One was pecking the other day and I went out to chase it off, but it flew up into the tree when I opened the door. I could still see it up in the branches. I saw Zorro when I went out. He had something in his mouth. I couldn't tell what it was. Probably a small rodent. He paused and we looked at each other. He reminded me of the Big Bad Wolf in Shrek when Shrek finds him in his bed. He had that look on his face like...."What?" Then he took off up the hill.
