Guess who’s back, back again? The Piping Plover are back! Tell a friend! Starting on April 1st, many beaches in Maine have very specific Dog Rules to protect these endangered tiny, sandy, grayish brown birds with white bellies, that bring delight as they scurry along the beaches. In the past Angel Chuck Billy has asked […]
Earlier this week I shared a song inspired by my new birdie friend who was making a nest in our wreath. Have no fear! Dad relocated the wreath to a quieter spot, and the new family has been seen continuing to build their nest in the new location. This got me thinking about another time […]
If Angel Chuck Billy taught me anything, it was that a UFO (Unidentified Friend Outside) investigation could happen at any time and in any place! Such was the case on two recent outings that on the surface seemed unrelated, but soon held a deeper connection. A connection to Bigfoot! Over the years Angel Chuck Billy […]
Hi Chuck Billy! You were right! Well of course you were right, you were always right. But you were certainly right about your final detective case before crossing Rainbow Bridge. Remember how days before leaving you alerted Dad to a trespasser in our garage? Your nose always could sniff out when something was amiss. At […]
Question: does anyone know what ladybugs eat for breakfast? I have a surprise houseguest, and I want her to feel welcome. Oh and safe too! Since last evening when Miss Ladybug arrived, I’ve been hard at work trying to ladybug proof my house. She’s more mischievous than a human toddler! It all began last evening […]
Recently while daydreaming in the office, I heard a flurry of activity outside. No not snow flurries, they are usually quiet. Well that and this was before the most recent round of snow. It was work trucks parked by the Squirrel family’s tree. I don’t recall them ever having visitors before. But sure enough the […]
In celebration of Squirrel Appreciation Day, I feel it is about time I reveal a long held family secret. A secret that Chuck Billy swore me to keep. But he’s not here, and I believe in being open and honest about my family. So here goes – Mom’s college mascots were the “Fighting Squirrels!” Oh […]
Well I *may* not have discovered Bigfoot on my hike, but while Asa was making beach buddies with the deer and the sandpipers on vacation, I was making important discoveries! I tracked a species that up until now was not known to inhabit the Maine woods! A creature far rarer than Bigfoot! When I first […]
Asa here. Since Chuck Billy brought up the topic of wildlife friends yesterday, today I’d like to share with you the new friends we made while on vacation. Near where we stayed was a little beach, that we shared with the local residents. One day, after a morning of hiking, Chuck Billy and I were […]
We interrupt our adventure updates with this public announcement to our wildlife neighbors. We are back on neighborhood patrol! Consider yourself warned! Sergeant Skunk, you can stand down now. We thank you for filling in on patrol by keeping an eye on our house and garden. We even appreciate the extra work you did aerating […]
