    Eric the Emu is Alive!!!!

    Well, I see no emoos here this morning -- but there was a blessing in the car port. Gee, guys, in six years, only two birds have ever come into the carport: Felicity and Eric. And: blessing, as you all know, are fine data. This blessing, folks, indicates that things are bad. It's almost...

    Eric the Emu is Alive!!!!

    I wish you guys could see this. I have never seen anything like it. The pair just climbed over the concrete top of the septic tank, into a corner by the old lav, surrounded by fences and walls, greatly constrained -- not just the 'familiar' bird, guys, but a truly wild bird. Why? There's a tiny...

    Eric the Emu is Alive!!!!

    Guys, all is confusion. We listed Eric missing because he did not turn up last spring -- that is, we haven't seen him since 2012. There is a breeding-pair standing right now right outside the window -- followed me into the backyard, for Heaven's sake!! Yesterday the male sat on its haunches...

    Eric the Emu is Alive!!!!

    We haven't seen this before: a wild bird just walked into the backyard. With me there. Right up to me. With its mate in tow. I was sure it was Eric. Hunger! I think these birds are hungry. We are seven weeks into autumn, and no rain yet. The farmhouse is on 'full water disciplines.' Dams...

    Eric the Emu is Alive!!!!

    No! I am wrong -- or at least, I can't identify this bird. It acts like Eric, but I have been to within about four feet of its neck, and I can't see the scar that is Eric's identifying mark. Check again later. se
