More wildlife

Here's some more low resolution animal pictures. Wildlife as Cannon sees it at 5:00 AM before having any coffee.




It's hard to tell, but this is the wreath on our neighbor's porch, and on top of it is a nest with two baby robins. Apparently they didn't know they were supposed to use the birdhouse in the middle. I would have gotten a closer look, but the mother robin was keeping one eye on the kids while hunting for worms, and if you stepped on the porch she flew right at your head. The neighbors usually use the back door, but apparently the mailman had problems. I hope he didn't mace the bird.


These are some geese and a heron that we spotted on our recent kayaking jaunt on the lake at North Park. We didn't get any pictures of the catfish that we basically ran over in the shallows. They jumped out of the water and smacked our boats with their tails before swimming off and throwing up waves off their dorsal fins, like Jaws.




This is the toad that Ashley found on one rainy night on the way home from playing "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" at CCAC South. She really wanted to bring him/her home to live with us, but she decided that he/she was probably happier to stay put.
