This Alligator was found in Winter Haven, Florida, which is right below Orlando.
The thing’s ginormous!
(by the way, thats a large buck he’s carrying)
Okay, here we go. At least there are pictures to keep you occupied during this post. It’s more for me to remember the neat animals I saw here, but I thought you guys might enjoy it, too.
This is a male purple finch named Frito. He visits quite often, and is semi-friendly to the other birds. Frito is a gorgeous bird, and is starting to get used to people watching him. Male purple finches can be identified by their colorful chest and head. Where they got the name ‘purple finches’ is a mystery to me because the chest, head, and back of the male finch are red, not purple. Anyway, the female purple finches are mainly gray and brown.
Angie and Jenny are both house sparrows, along with Sophie who was mentioned before. These birds are practically fearless when facing humans, and as long as we don’t venture to close, they will stay on the feeder during our talking. Both of these sparrows are females. The males have a black stripe that runs half-way down their chest, and auburn colored feathers rather than the grey and brown. They also have a grey patch on their heads.
I have a feeling these are fairly young sparrows. They have a younger look and are smaller next to the full grown sparrows who come by every once and a while.
This is Sheila and Sky. We don’t see much of Sky because he stays in the trees most of the time, which is how he got his name. He stays as close to the sky as possible!
I was very surprised one day when I opened the creaky door that scares every animal off and saw Sheila sitting in the tree staring at me. I had the pleasure of taking pictures of the pretty girl.
Sheila is a very cute squirrel, and she has a very unique way of getting her food. Because of the bird feeders size, the squirrels have a very hard time eating out of it. So Sheila finds her own way to get what she wants.
Step 1: She climbs onto the top of the feeder.
Step 2: Sheila leans as far over as she can without falling off, tipping the bird feeder so that seed falls out.
Step 3: She climbs down the tree and eats the fallen seeds.
All in all, I’ve been very pleased with the animals that I have seen eating out of the bird feeder. I love sitting out on the porch with a good book and watching the birds fly down and have a party in the tree, where I have hung the bird feeder.
I have a LOVE for animals, so I thought I’d start giving info on God’s amazing animals. Today’s info is on the Caracal. I will getting most of my information out of the Wild Life Explorer pages.

kill in a blow?
Habitat:
Moses is growing like crazy!!
He is triple the size he was at the time I got him. It is crazy. I played with
him a lot this morning. Boy was he full of energy. I needed to write a post about
something. And Moses is always full of surprises. There is always something to
write about him. I think I here him whining. I had better go get him. Bye!!
Today Moses learned that he had a bark that he thinks is big dog a bark. So every time sombody passes by he thinks he needs to scare them off. Not that anybody even notices his barking, even though he thinks that he needs to do his “big dog bark”. Moses is a Jack Russell, a little dog who thinks it’s a big dog. Moses is a complete Jack Russell. There is not one thing that would let you believe that he not a complete Jack Russell. He has got the look, the spirit, the likeness of digging, and the bark. Just look at him. Can you tell? Look how innocent he looks. He really isn’t though.
We have a cat and 2 dogs. The cat, named Wazzu, is my moms, one dog named Lucas, is my dads, Moses, is mine. Moses is only 4 monthes old. He was born April 17. It is a big responsibility
to have a dog. You have to clean out his kennal, make sure he has plenty of food and water, and make sure he is getting exersise and that he is happy 24-7. I have taken pretty good care of him. There are days where he is out all day and there are days when he is out for only an hour a day. I am getting better at taking care of him. It is hard to keep up with him, but it’s worth it!!!
Isn’t He Cute?!!!
