So, what did you watch today...

That clip is pretty awesome. I was disillusioned at the end of the routine, though, when it was revealed there was an actual person inside the slinky get-up.

Oh, well.

Oh, c'mon... can you honestly admit you have NEVER wondered about riding inside of a slinky as it flumpa clinky shuffle flumps down a flight of stairs? Maybe jealousy is clouding your appreciation of this awesomeness?
 
English sparrows in my eaves. Satan's own winged vermin - even your jays have to worry about these guys. If I drive a few blocks I inevitably encounter light poles topped with red tailed hawks. On lucky days, things like eagles and wild turkey on my lake strolls. I've GOT to start taking the camera.

Satan's winged vermin?

:eek: Summer twilight at our place, that.

...and an exterminator is out of the question until the babies mature...

...and I don't *really* want them dead...

We built a pond a number of years ago, so it's really no wonder the migratory population squats sesonal residence. The bats are integral to the ecosystem: mosquito control. Our options--build them a house or seal up the crevice between the chimney and siding--brave the bats or brave the vampires.

Those aren't bats, they are chimney swifts. Nothing scary about them at all.

Beautiful to watch, aren't they?

Being a good chimney swift landlord.

Oh.

*scratches head*

Selecting random video of what our place looks like at twilight only to find out later that the "bats" in said video are birds? I call par.:D

We, though, really do have bats, and yes, one was subjected to a stricitly controlled scientific test: prod with stick sans screaming.

Shank, the cartoon short created a Three Stooges type parody for me. Thank you.:rose:

I love bats. As long as they're not in my house we are totally copacetic. What english sparrows do to native species here ain't pretty, but I could never off one myself, they're cute evil.

'Tis the bat disease vector which bothers me: rabies and guano. After some research, I was satisfied by the fact that they cannot chew their way into the house. Their twilight departure stirs a type of primal fear; however, exposure is the confrontation I use against phobia.

Those english sparrows certainly do wreak havoc on other species, and I'm not sure I could properly identify one (We have all sorts of sparrows local.) My observational time is limited, but most territorial disputes are between the squirrels and birds.

As baby killers go, those sparrows are even worse than cats. Fucking ruthless as the day is long at summer solstice.


See and my bat flight patterns sensibility is pretty crappy.
Ha. It's not so much how they're flying, but what they're doing that's the tip-off.

Here's your clue, right here. The animals in your video are flying in to the chimney, en masse, at twilight, to stay there for the nocturnal duration.

(Well, that, and the sound. Once you've heard both bats and chimney swifts you know they sound totally different.)

Awesome. Perhaps I will one day be able to witness the chimney swift in real time.

Bravo!(Not my own video.)
 

You know, I always tell my kids when they make that noise that if the bee doesn't sting them I will. :p

My mom used to get bats in the upstairs room. They never could figure out how those bats got in the house, but evidently there were sometimes weeks at a time that my mom and sister would sleep in the living room, waiting for my stepdad to get home and make sure it was safe. (SD is a long haul truck driver.)

Me, personally? I would have paid to see their faces the first time they saw that bat. :D




We have a bald eagle and a turkey vulture in our area. They're normally so far up that you can't be sure what they are, but on one occasion I got to see the eagle swoop down and get something, then fly away and they are HUGE. Twice I've seen the turkey vulture up close, and once it was spreading it's wings to fly away ... it was so freaken awesome.

It helps that we live right next to this densely wooded area. We have a mama and baby dear (I see them early in the mornings), rabbits, not-quails (they look like quails but K says they're something else, but I can't remember what), blue jays, robins, hawks, hummingbirds, coyote, frogs, newts, sparrows .... it's like living in the middle of a state park.

The biggest issue is the suicidal, stupid bunny's. When we come home after dark they'll run from the car, zig zagging ahead of us like I'm a predator trying to run them down, and I just want them to get off my drive way so I don't hit their stupid asses.
