Sherrie S on Jun 01, 2012Susan, He was only a few feet from the window. That little bird kept flying and hitting him & he barely moved. The hawk is usually walking around in the backyard looking for something. Sorry no yellow rose pictures yet because it has been raining every day - I'm thankful.Helpful Reply

Kevin M. Veler, Law Office of on Jun 01, 2012Great shots..... Watching nature on TV (even HDTV) is one thing. Seeing it in person is soooo much better. Now if we could just add the voice commentary of that honeybadger guy. lolHelpful Reply

Sherrie S on Jun 01, 2012So today the pest control people told me the hole under the house was made by an armadillo. Told to put dog hair by the hole and he will leave. Got plenty dog hair so I'll try that. They are uglier than the possom but eat grubs, insects and ants. Predators are bobcats, cougars, wolves, bears, raccoons and even some of the larger hawks and other birds of prey will also attack and devour an armadillo. Nature takes care of itself.Helpful Reply

Susan S on Jun 01, 2012And before you ask: A baby hawk is called an eyas. The female adult hawk is called a hen and a male adult hawk is called a tierce. A group of hawks is called aerie, cast or kettle. Nothing specific on what baby red winged black birds are called: When a pair of blackbirds is matched up, they will build a nest. Nests are cup-shaped and made of marsh grasses or reeds attached to cattails or rushes. Sometimes they will build it in a shrub. Each pair of blackbirds will raise two or three broods in a season, building a new nest each time. This probably keeps nests from getting infested with parasites which could kill baby birds. Three to five pale blue eggs are laid in a nest. Eggs are spotted with brown or purple. And last but certainly not least, a baby armadillo is a pup!!Helpful Reply

Sherrie S on Jun 01, 2012Susan, thank you but you are killing me with the info. You are making me crazy. Armadillo is a PUP? My baby dogs were PUPS, not armadillos. Just wait until I send the yellow rose picture. I'll put an end to this because I must stop smiling. You make me smile.Helpful Reply

Susan S on Jun 02, 2012@Doug - Oh not necessarily!! I don't know if it's new shows or repeats but I think it's being shown on Sunday morning. Wasn't it Marlin Perkins who hosted it originally (Ah Hem - NOW WHO'S DATING THEMSELVES?) I think Jack Hanna is doing it now, unless I'm terriably confused!!Helpful Reply
