well, actually things happened a couple of months ago…
If you remember my coterie split into two, well Halfy’s faction which is closer and more viewable didn’t have babies, whether through being bachelors (maybe?) or something else, it just wasn’t to be. But, the neighbors, The Builders, did and they’re a lot closer than the other part of the coterie.
I saw all six of these cute, little devils for the first time yesterday and they’re just so darling.
In other news, I haven’t seen any pups, but I did get photographic evidence that our dear, own Foxy became a mother.
So, flickers are finally showing interest in the flicker house we installed years ago. This has become somewhat of an insult to Patton since one of her preferred beds is now right on the other side of the wall from it. So every time the flicker enters and pecks around she can hear it very clearly. When that happens she moves back to the window where she can see the house and she watches.
Blossom is almost a month old now.
It’s the 52nd week of the second Prairie Dog Year and the north faction of the coterie is down to one member (one disappeared and one definitely “defected” to the south faction). So Half-Poirot, or “Halfy” stands alone as the sole member of Stubby’s Coterie keeping home in the holes nearest to me. We’ll see what happens come spring, but I don’t think the factions will split into different coteries quite yet. But at the moment I’m keeping my eyes mostly on Halfy and Champion, who is hanging around a lot more than Foxy and Creamy.
Both subjects of interest are in this photo.
In zoo news, the innuendo police were dispatched to one of their biggest emergencies ever when some peacocks decided to get into the enclosure of and harass the dik-diks.
Also, since it’s the 52nd Prairie Dog Week my other website now has 451 pictures of prairie dogs etc. from the original prairie dog year. Make sure to check them out if you’ve missed any.
