Cancer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Long-haired, folded-ear kitten. The folded ears make it a bit more difficult to read their emotions ... one is used to seeing non-erect ears as a sign of dismay or fright. Not so here. This one is comfortable on the bed if a little sleepy and aloof at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER And here's one of Hobbes, sitting contentedly in a box. He does that frequently. It's tempting to refer to him as "Fort Cat", since he's like a kid sitting in his play fort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Finally, one from a couple months back when it snowed heavily here. This fellow sat still long enough for me to get a good picture of him. A minute or two later he was demolishing the suet in the feeder out of the picture beneath him.

Cancer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Yes, a Northern Flicker, the "red-shafted" color phase. Flickers also feed on the ground a lot, eating ants. They nest in our neighborhood. In the fall, we frequently see a new brood of young ones around our place.

Cancer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Nope. There are enough large trees here that isn't an issue. In springtime they will drum (that is, peck for the sake of making noise) on utility poles and "pole pig" transformer casings, which make lots of noise so they sound like a Big StUdLy WoOdPeCKeR.

Cancer Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I have the impression that the drumming is the equivalent of the latter. I don't know if woodpeckers will go for fermented material if it's available. I know of frugivorous birds that will, but woodpeckers aren't fruit-eaters.
