Our ongoing attempt to get local wild birds to visit became slightly successful this morning, after lots of rain last night caused the apparently-indoor-only bird food to fall from it’s hook, and then finally some Red-winged Blackbirds visited it on the ground!
This makes me think of my Uncle Keith, who was always interested in wildlife and probably could have told me lots about these birds …
As Margaret continues to paint and decorate 8002, we decided to look for some interesting rocks/fossils (made difficult on Google by the bags!); we found The Dinosaur Store in Cocoa Beach so chose a day trip to the coast (an easy ride once we got past the crazy Disney traffic!):
We left with an Ammonite, a slice of Petrified Wood and a split stone with Trilobite inside (so you can put the two halves back together if desired!); all three pieces look great on the new furniture by the front door:
A trip to Animal Kingdom today, in warm but not so sunny weather, gave a few not-so-great phone camera shots – but the Tiger is quite good; and as we were leaving we caught site of a very active Giant Anteater (clearly it was expecting food, from the way it kept visiting the cage entrance); it’s name was justified, easily more than six feet nose to end of stiff tail!
