Nope. We're still just waiting, here.

I told my MIL and she said what do his cats look like (thinking that one of yours was the father). I told her that that was impossible cuz Tupper is not capable She said she felt very bad...had no idea she was pregnant and that's true. Neither of us did.

Maybe she was older than you thought, just s little kitty?

What in the world is this annoying bird??

Even if Tupper did have something to do with it, I don't think Kitteh would be this big this soon. She's only been here a month (as of tomorrow). I think she must have been close to a month along already when I got her.

Tell MIL not to feel bad. I'm actually liking this...

Lonnie will be an awesome grandpa, no worries to the MIL Lisa.

Not a bad guy to have around

Trolled up from Cornell all about birds

The Summer Tanager is considered a bee and wasp specialist. It usually catches a bee in flight and then kills it by beating it against a branch. Before eating the bee, the tanager removes the stinger by rubbing it on a branch. The tanager eats bee and wasp larvae too. It first catches the adult insects and then perches near the nest to tear it open and get the grubs.

I am actually pretty good with my birds and plants. I suck at hawks and shore birds though. Still taking pain meds:p

It is Lisa, but it has recently taken up residence at my door and other windows. The front door window has lots of little beak marks now.

Hmmm....I do have some wasp nests way up on the peaks of my house that I can't get to...35 feet up. Still an annoying bird though. It has scared off the cardinal from last year.

Okay...how about this one then? It has a bug in mouth. This bird has a nest up on my back patio corner and another bird momma has one in that old BBQ pit I have out back.
