That's a great goose video, RJ. We need the universal translator to translate their honking into English. Do you think AI might do that for us soon?

Also loved the wascally wabbit :rabbit:

^Good shot! :yes:
Thank you. :)
I'm amazed considering the blood-thirst reputation Canadian Geese have*. :Ahhh: :duck:
Wow, do they? These guys were very mellow, especially considering that they had about a half dozen babies. I probably could have gotten even closer.

Very likely, although the vocabulary will probably turn out to be limited.

I don't know. I don't know the difference and I'm not sure what we have around here in terms of hares versus rabbits.

Nice. I love bluebells. That looks like a great path to explore.

hares are brown, rabbits are brown or otherwise. hares have sticky up ears rabbits have floppy down ears that perk up partially when is use but usually slant sideways - so up ears usually means a hare. also hares have bigger ears.


oh that tracks short, no exploring possible.40 minutes to get to, walk thru, and get home from it.....max. its just a track behind the school/new housing on what used to be horse fields, and it leads through what is now private provperty fenced off on both sides, then a short track crammed in between stables and a major highway, then turns off into a village road near the famr shop. about 10 mins max walk thru....but littered with bluebells.

I didn't know that. How do turtles and tortoises differ?

I think it must be a rabbit, because a little research tells me that we have one hare species and it lives in the Western part of the state.

That's too bad. It looks very enticing in the picture.

Two hours these days as traffic continues to get worse.
