Crawfish Fun

While the boys went out fishing, I went out Crawfish Hunting!!!   (Okay, NO I dont eat them)

I found all kinds of teeny tiny little ones.. (Look at the pinkish tips on the claws!)


Then I found this beast!!  He was not impressed at all.


(Yes, I know the picture is blurry). He kept spitting or snapping or Something to make water go flying!


Grumpy Crawfish

The Great Goldfinch Rescue

(If you have me on facebook, you will have heard the story.. now with more pictures!!)

So I went out to refill my goldfinch feeder and I saw a goldfinch on it!! (Picture time!) Got a little bit closer and went, Oh NO!!  We thought it was dead..
Went to go try to get it out, and.. WHAT? Its still alive???
After a bit of finessing, we finally got the poor thing out... Shaking like a leaf, and obviously not doing so good



We started cupping water in our hands and letting him drink... after 10 or so min, he seemed a bit stronger!





Not too impressed by the camera.. (Sorry birdie)

I got him up high, he started fluttering his wings like mad.. held him for a bit and finally he took off!  (Yes, after leaving a parting gift of Poo in my hand)
