Wildlife

Tuesday, July 18, 2023

Captured! The culprit was just outside my door, eating the garden flowers. After quickly retreating from me, she turned and casually ambled away.

I am unhappy that this small city’s rapid population expansion has caused the loss of a full one-half of its (previously normal) Mule Deer population. That’s another disagreeable change, unavoidable (apparently), and occurring rapidly.

One of my resident Garder Snakes had babies. I found a tiny infant inside the house and tried to catch the quick being but couldn’t. I hope it can find a path to the outside deck and survive.

That’s all this morning. I’m running late after transporting my housemate to the bus stop so she can visit Salem. We talked about how much fun bus traveling used to be. She’s looking forward to this travel adventure.

Dear Friends: Be nice to wildlife and be grateful it still exists. Diana
