RE: interesting visitor..Jesse...

Don't seem to have those here. Must not like the heat (or burrowing in
rock hard black clay). I'm sure Sugar would adore getting her hooks on
one though. Little carnivore. She too wants birds, but that's why I've
got her on the tether. She starts stalking one and gets reined in or
I'll walk over to where the bird is so it moves out of reach.

She hisses at me when I do that - LOL.
