Steve,
Robins are one of my favorite birds! I love the babies, MEP MEP MEP!! I had to save two of them two years ago as they fell out of my
pear tree early. I chased them around the yard for 2 hours and then gave up, but later on they came to me. I pretty much feed them
by hand, a very gratifying feeling. The parents stayed close too, as the babies nested in some evergreen bushes along the back of my
property.

Good to see wildlife knows who has there back!

I always seem to get my share of animals to take care of.

One of my neighbors brought this kitten over last October,
(found in their yard on a cold day with no sign of the mother)

Lost about a month of sleep taking care of him, but doing good today 8)

Considering the Western Meadowlark is the state bird of Kansas, I should have known that............lol

I was going to say Steve .... all good Kansans know the Western Meadowlark when they see one. We used to see them on my grandparents farm.

Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)

Steve, 1up on the excellent photography! And Bill... The way we take care of those "tree rats" around here usually involves a 12 gauge shotgun and some game loads... There's no fat on em', so can be a bit tough, but if ya cook em' right, it's not bad! Skinning them is the worst part though... not really worth it for the small amount of meat that you get, but that's just my opinion:)
