More fauna

These evil-looking birds are all over the place down here. Someone killed a pig and threw the guts and head and skin into the bay by the public boat launch. Needless to say, the scavengers showed up in a hurry. Between the vultures and other carrion-eaters, the pile of death disappeared pretty quick. The delicious aroma drove the pup nuts.


And this little rascal is perched on the outside of the windowpane by the computer. There've been a lot of frogs around lately, but we really need a big rain to have them all singing, make the night vibrate. Also, I'd like to avoid watering this soon in the warm season.

Looks to me like that little froggie might be praying for rain. Hey, something's gotta work....lest we start breathing more dust than actual air.

Buzzards at the boat launch, hog guts in the bayou - little signs that we're not in Rapallo or Marbella . . .
