Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Tilly Misses Her

Niamh spent quite a while inside this morning after taking her medicine. Tilly was waiting patiently for her to come back out.

After a short nap and some snacks, Niamh decided she wanted to go out.

I hate that it is so cold and she isn't feeling well. It worries me even more that she has to spend energy staying warm. Perhaps we can get Tilly to come in the house with her so she can stay warm.

Of course Tilly is so skittish that this is problematic at best.

That's a pretty laid-back annoyance

He figured I'm not worth going after. When he was wee tiny chick he wreaked havoc. He pooped every couple minutes on everything.

Check out eBird - a great database of sightings. Citizen science at work! Cornell - same place that does the All About Birds website. You can choose a species, choose a region and get a map and bar graph of sighting frequency along a timeline. Membership is free but I believe you don't have to sign up to look at the data, only if you want to submit sightings. November has an increase in sightings for Ross' Goose, and you can see the migratory pathways that the sightings illustrate.

How about Bigfoot sightings? Do they include Bigfoot sightings?

One more day to enjoy being outside, we didn’t get snow here thankfully.

Also keep an eye on temps - I feel that your part of the continent will also feel the cold from this arctic outflow that is setting up.

No snow here, but 1 mile east of here its a winter wonderland, snow squall sat over that section for a day, they have a good foot of snow (sister has over 2' up her way!). Meanwhile I had nice sunny weather - my chooks can enjoy another day outside - if I can get the safety fence back up, the ground is frozen now, so I am not sure I will be able to get those posts back into the ground!

I'll figure something out!

Well, you are getting sunny days and your sister gets the snow.

Oh I am thrilled! No snow to deal with, the chooks get outside a bit more and the horses are happy.

Now if only it stayed this way all winter!!

I think your sleeping schedule is confusing. Where in the world are you?

The more she comes in and gets used to things the less skittish she will be

Oh course there is always those flying poops to consider
