I had a similar reaction to startling a great blue heron - no grunt, the the wing flap noise at takeoff was startling. I thought of teradactyls.<br />You are a busy woman, Ms. Moon.

They ARE the architects of the world.<br /><br />Delphyne- In theory I do not mind the turkey vultures (yes, you're right) at all. But close up in my yard they are something else. I know we need them, I wouldn't mind my own body being picked apart by them when the time comes, but they're still odd, scary birds to me.<br /><br />Rebecca- We have much bigger birds such as the owls and egrets and herons but these are different somehow.<br /><br />Rachel- Send Farty on over.<br /><br />Jo- I ain't THAT hungry. I have venison in the crockpot. Will that do?<br /><br />Ms. Bastard-Beloved- The production is going well due to the fact that we have an insanely talented cast.

Cracking the roach to death with a sledge hammer also made me laugh.<br /><br />I assume this was a turkey vulture - the Cherokee call them Peace Eagles since they don't kill anything and their scientific name is catharsis aura - golden purifier.<br /><br />You can read more about them here:<br /><br />http://deepcreeklakefamilyactivities.com/vulture_medicine.htm<br /><br />I'm thinking this is a good omen for you!Delphynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024068947467297351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-66418465000534998122010-08-06T11:51:16.690-04:002010-08-06T11:51:16.690-04:00Well where are the niece and nephew when you need ...Well where are the niece and nephew when you need them to help get the armadillo on a shovel??! I only say this because we had a dead possum in our yard and the boys had no problem digging a grave and burying it.<br />Your paragraph about roaches big enough that need a sledge hammer and about the banana spider eating her meal while servicing the male spider….had me reading it 3 times I loved it so much. I love watching spiders too. One fall we watched a spider build a web with anchors that spanned from a dogwood tree across a two car driveway to a fence. And then every morning she and her web were gone. And back again the next night to get those night bugs.Michele Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030846420862437581noreply@blogger.com
