BEAR ON THE PORCH
The Canadian Wildlife Federation asked recently, “How do you connect with wildlife”?
Did I complain when the Bohemian Waxwings pooped on my car in technicolour?
First pass was on their way from the Mountain Ash. Orange splashes. The second pass was on their way from the crab apple tree. Red splashes. Dear little creatures of nature, the colours clash.
We share the red currants, raspberries, strawberries and cherries with the birdies – provided I net the bushes in time.
Now, this is about that blasted squirrel nesting in the woodpile. It is our woodpile you noisy little twit. I would like you to obey city bylaws: no fair chattering with a megaphone, in the tree next to the window except between 7 AM And 10 PM, and if that isn't the bylaw, it should be.
