My wife loved your squirrel âaquariumâ. She asked if your cats make those funny noises when they see the rodents. I think the correct name is chattering.

A couple do but not often, I think theyâre so used to the critters outside it doesnât really faze them anymore.
The one sleeping doesnât do it at all.

Spring means the Edgewater NJ parrots have started to come out of their nests.
I got to see them in their mega nest by the local Whole Foods. Couldnât get a picture off.

Happy news to report - Rocky was adopted exactly one week after we brought her in. Iâm so glad! I was worried sheâd be too stressed out and scare off potential adopters, but she mustâve done really well. What a good kitty.
Scamp, as a kitten, was less of a worry.

Is this a migratory stop? Because ducks usually like to have some cover, like long grasses or other water-edge camouflage, if theyâre staying overnight.

Those mallards live there all year long.
About there:
Some geese have started to winter there too and few mute swans but they weâre gone today.

Wow! Thatâs so different than our ducks! And we have mallards too, as well as other types of ducks.
My personal favorite:

We call it a wood duck! Theyâre unusual in that they prefer to nest in hollows of trees, well off the ground.

I wonder if the difference is the water? We have some streams and marshes that form muddy islands when the water is low, and mallards and geese will happily sit out on them unlike the near shore.

That makes a lot of sense. We have ducks that stay on open water for a while during daylight hours, but they always disappear after a few hours, coming back later or the next day. And we learned that if we wanted to make a good habitat for them to nest (except for the wood ducks, which we have special wood duck nesting boxes for) it needed to be wild rice/reeds/other water grasses in shallow water to provide some camouflage/protection. Theyâre not big enough (or mean enough!) to openly enjoy hanging out in open areas the way the ##$@% Canada geese do.
Although, we had a successful bald eagle nesting last summer, and the juvenile has been dive bombing geese this spring. I really like that guy! I think he actually caused enough damage to the neck of one goose that I saw it a few hours later, dead on the ice. Talk about nature red in tooth and claw!
