In case anyone wasn't paying attention, I heard a little birdie say it was his birthday tomorrow. So now instead of waiting until then, we can harass him for TWO days instead of just one!!
He probably will just go out early and look for something big to hunt, or chop down, or catch, so maybe won't even get the wishes til it's too late.....
Happy Birthday, Mountain Mel!

Yes, A very big bear! 10' from nose to tail and 10' from front paw to front paw...about 13' tall when standing on it's hind legs!

That was 25 years ago, during my guiding days in Alaska.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

With up to 3" of rain forcast...and me living right on the river like I do....I'll spend my birthday monitoring the water levels!

It's me

8 chicks transferred into the brooder (2 BCMs, 1 Cuckoo Marans, 3 Black Ameraucanas, 1 Blue Ameraucana, and a white Silkie). Couldn't see one in that crowded incubator!!! Another Cuckoo and a BCM have pipped .... hopefully, didn't shrink anybody making the transfer.

First BCM with our hatching buddy

And the ever so black skinned white Silkie arriving .... (furriest little legs I've EVER seen!!!) And this kid is running the show in the brooder so far!

I was handed 3 Silkie eggs but told that she didn't think they would be fertile - and she was right about 2 of them, so I ended up with just one Silkie. With the attitude of this little one, I'm thinking boy for sure!!! Not even 24 hours old and already sounding alarm calls in the brooder when he thinks there might be trouble!
