I agree that kids grow up to fast in the city. I love my neighborhood just for the fact that its a true little community which seems to be lost in most of the city.
But I still wish I could live in the sticks and have a farm myself. I grew up on acres with a 100 acre natural park behind my house. It was the best for playing, exploring and learning about our natural world.
Some of the animals I grew up catching and playing with I no longer see anymore
Frogs, tadpoles, salamanders, newts, lizards (and yes we did have native lizards in western wa!), snakes, flying squirrels, owls, and so much more!
Oh I know exactly what you are talking about! I grew up in the deep woods on the North end of Bainbridge Island. Back when Bainbridge was a small town. The propertys next to ours were ALL wooded except one. So I had acres upon acres of forest to explore. You really don't see all the small wildlife anymore. I can't remember the last time I saw, let alone caught a newt or salamander... Its really sad actually. The more people expand into the non developed areas, the more natural wildlife we lose.
Where I live now, is only about 15 miles from where I was born and raised, and the critters we have here are mostly larger wildlife. Bear, Cougar, Coyote, coon, and Civic cats... Have you ever seen or smelled a Civic cat? If you havn't smelled them your lucky! But they are cute large Weazle cousins. Will devistate a flock in a heart beat, and will take on small and medium sized dogs. We also have this large rodent "I say large because they get to 5lbs." Well I have NO idea what these rodents are called, but they look like miniature versions of beavers, flat tails, equatic, kinda a sandy brown color. OH and they eat fish! Wiped out my entire fish population, koy, schubunkins, and gold fish... Anyone have any clue what this rodent might be?
Sorry about my raving! I kinda get lost and lose my train of thought. lol
re you talking about this? Civet cat?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civet
or this a civic cat?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Civic_Cat
which really is not a called a civic cat.... its a Binturong or a "bear cat"
Both the above are not native anywhere close to here.
OHHHHHH I bet its this!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassariscus_astutus
Its a ring-tailed cat!
oh and how about these northwest animals?

I'm curious about NPIP status as well, and is it worth getting? What is the perks of being NPIP vs not... etc
I think it'd only be worth it if a number of us got NPIP tested and could share the cost of having a tester come out. It sounded like it'd be $80-$100 for someone to get alone, as they charge for driving up from Olympia. Maybe more for Rainwolf as he is planning on selling a number of birds but there are several of us in the general vicinity (Rainwolf, DIYSeattle, Hallerlake, plus many others that live in the area but don't get on here often). If there's a lot of interest, we could see what it would all involve...
We wouldn't mind getting 'certified', so long as it's cost-effective, and could then potentially sell or give eggs away to consumers who would feel better about it.
If its that pricey the only way I'd get the cert is to join in group to reduce the cost. Yikes

Nope none of those are it. I cant find anything close to it... The simplest way to discribe this critter is an over sized weazle/mink, with a funk to it. lol They run with an arch in their back like a ferret does. Ive seen 4 of these critters throughout my life, and they are nothing like anything I have ever seen before. I just wish I could catch one on camera.

Don't worry. I'm realizing I need more incubators, so I'm buying two more. . . And setting a bunch more eggs.
So if things don't go through, there's always 3 weeks later.
WA4-Hpoultrymom - It could likely be a black, but that's a LOT of yellow and too much similarity to mottled birds. You sure you don't have a mottled split in there?

That looks just like it, but add a black ring to the tail, some have masks like a ferret. Thats got to be it.
