Ruffed Grouse outside dining room window.
BTW, I never rake leaves in Fall. It allows for insects of all sort, ergo Pollinators, to hide and come back in Spring. Once the frost and snow are gone I rake.
Deer
This morning we were finally trying to run . 6 bitches. They split. I had my phone camera ready. 3 were really motoring. Then I heard a rustle close by and nearly got run over by a spike buck. I threw my phone at the leader of the 3 dogs I was so mad! Luckily my phone survived, as did the dogs when I managed to pick them up!!! At the end of the video you can see the deer in the top left corner at the end. Too bad I could not shoot it, would be good eating
Sneakers
Running today FC Branko’s Ali Alfa, Branko’s Ali Luka and a young Sam male. I thought my luck had turned, but it was not to be
Today we were running; Branko’s Sweet Manuka (x IFC Branko’s Ali-Baba), her daughter Branko’s Sweet Bubbles (x FC Branko’s Double Helix), Branko’s Taylor Made (x FC Branko’s Ali Alfa, Manuka’s litter brother) and 2-1 year olds by IFC Branko’s Play It Again Sam x Branko’s Special Diva (her last litter). They were motoring in this bush non-stop, the checks were short, they were silent working the checks. I saw several sneaker rabbits, but never got a marked line to my regret. The bush is extremely thick and impossible to get into. After 4 hours the dogs looked it! But the music was wonderful.
This is Daisy, 10 years old, chasing a chipmunk. She is the buddy to our grandson Jude. Daisy’s Daddy is FC Branko’s Doc Watson
A couple of 13 inch females out of Branko’s Samantha x FC Branko’s Matrix (Littermate to Sam photo below)and one out of Branko’s Special Diva x FC Branko’s Al Capone (Littermate to Rocco). Doing a pretty good job. They live in Ontario with their owner Andrew S.
Here is Branko's Frankie Double Blue at his new home in Missouri.
He is one of the dogs transported in the blizzard. The owner happy Frankie is fitting right in. We wish him all the best with this promising young hound.
