Here I am again in Florida ... visiting ksb and friends. They say it's called the Sunshine State
ksb927:
I arrived a day early and wasn't expected yet, but did get to meet Dopey as he made his rounds. btw...ksb actually calls him 'Opie' or 'Ope'. She thought Dopey was kinda mean sounding, and really doesn't fit him.
ksb927:
I also became acquainted with 'Tink" (short for Tinkerbell) who came 2 weeks ago with a badly broken and bleeding leg. ksb has been seeing that he is fed, and he is progressing nicely
ksb927:
Here they have fish hanging from the trees...which is convenient, but they were too big for me
ksb927:
and of course I wanted to check out Dopey's fort. He is on one of his many tables ksb has around the yard for him
ksb927:
I got to go to the top...it is 17 feet high...just the same as the neighbor's porch that Dopey liked. Everyone at the Home Depot is familiar with Dopey's fort!
ksb927:
here I am with two juvie peacocks sibs from last year...Wimpy and Gimpy. Gimpy is the one with the missing tail feathers, which are growing in again. Wimpy has a bad wing similar to Dopey...we are hoping it will mend and he will fly again.
ksb927:
but, there was/is a full-fledged GBH turf war going on right now. I think maybe that is why I didn't get to meet JR - the 2nd yr juvie with the fishing line :-(
ksb927:
this LBH comes several times each day...for water, and to scoff up all of the little waterbugs along the seawall and dock that others are too lazy to catch
ksb927:
this guy was trying to show me how to make myself look scary if necessary...BVs are everywhere
ksb927:
these guys (juvie Ibis) are two years younger than me, and really act it. They grunt and fuss at one another a lot, but the do like to play with sticks and moss
ksb927:
my last morning here, we had a manatee family come thru early morning...two large adults and a calf
