I need to buy a big floppy hat, because otherwise I am going to have a serious sunstroke episode walking to the bus stop from volunteering one of these days--especially as it gets hotter. :|
IN OTHER NEWS volunteer day! I saw a sad owl (very fragile, they don't know what's wrong with it), a bunch of raccoons (I was learning how to clean their enclosure and I got to do "hazing" which meant being scary at them which was FUN) and an eagle (from a distance, between slats).
the eagle is an adult and doesn't need hazing; last I heard they had three, and all of them are pretty keen to murder any human who gets within reach of them. plus eagles are HUGE. like, that eagle could take me down, no problem. they're really intimidating up close. XD
also I have a guess why the crows are avoiding my porch: I suspect Nar pounced at them and scared them away, especially if the juvenile was on the floor of the porch and thus close enough that Nar could have reached it--if there wasn't a door in the way. of course the *whole point* of attracting birds to the porch is to give the indoors-only cats Bird TV enrichment, so. ah well... I'll just keep putting out peanuts and suet, and hope they come back.
