Dawg Tired Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Okay, this junco (snowbird) hit my big picture window then stuck around for pictures.... Wasn't that nice? It was fine, it flew off a few minutes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoGiuliana Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Here's a bird in a tree...This little creature (a screech owl) got into our chimney last night. My husband rescued him/her. The owl sat in this tree for over an hour, recovering from the ordeal, and then flew off into the night.It was very exciting, especially for Giuliana, to see such a secretive animal up close!Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tearose Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 gayla, Oh, what a beautiful little bird!It looks like a bird sanctuary bird.Thanks for the beautiful photo!Katherine, in the chimney???It reminds me of a squirrel that came into our first coundry home through the chimney.What an adventure you must have had! I think a chimney cap is now in order.The photo looks like a professional display... like a display from a museum or zoo!best regards, tearose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted March 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Okay, Katherine... Now I have to get a chimney cap too... A BAT was in the house the other night. I don't know where it is now - I hope he went to the attic and found his way out! Or back UP the chimney.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Unfortunately I don't think my husband wants to get up on the roof anytime soon--or without much better reason--the pitch is very steep. But, a chimney cap would be ideal.BTW, a friend of mine who works with birds told me this was a female screech owl. Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Tired Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hah! We have the same issue with a steep roof pitch. Plus last year we put a steel roof on the house so it is incredibly slick now.But... we DID capture the bat safely, and got it outside and it flew off. I'm sure we were quite a sight - I was running around trying to catch it on the fly with a towel and hubby picked up a shirt from the laundry (clean!) and managed to catch it. We took it out to the carport and set it free - Rick held the shirt up as high as he could so the little critter could have a "drop" to takeoff form - bats can't take off from the ground - they have to be up in the air and catch air in their wings on the way down.
