Aurora...that baby is really growing!! No idea on variety. Does it still snuggle up to one of the mommas at night? I got the biggest kick out of all the moms!
Hot, hot, hot here. But it's just starting to cool off a bit at night. We've had some spotty down-pours the last few days. Which we needed! Always grateful for rain in August. We have had a round of those big locust things hatching. Daisy loves eating them. All the other birds are scared of them. If she hears one, she starts trying to find it. So that's been fun to watch her hunt one down by sound. Never have seen her hunt bugs that way before. I'm used to her hunting bugs by sight. A turkey hunting by sound is interesting to me. Maybe shes been using her hearing while hunting more than I thought. But this is very apparent. If she hears one, her head goes up and you can see she is zeroing in on the sound before she sees it. Of course my friends have long ago decided I've lost it...but did point out the other evening that discussing my turkeys hunting techniques as dinner conversation is a new low....
