GIFs again. I have literally thousands of regular text/article links, but these gifs are easier to post. Note you may have to unmute some of the videos.

Credit for all of the photos to Marcie O'Connor, who posted these as part of a larger gallery of natural events happening at Prairie Haven. Identities and details about the plants and critters in the images are available at the source link. And after you are done browsing the gallery there, take a few moments to explore the rest of the website...
"This blog tells the story of the old farm we bought in 2000, and the adventures we’ve had living here.Our land is in the Driftless Area – the part of the midwest that was never covered by glaciers. Because of its rugged terrain, the land still has many remnants of the pre-settlement landscape – dry bluff prairies, overgrown savannas, sedge meadows and wet prairies. We’re working to protect and expand those remnants, and to preserve their habitats for the native plants and animals that depend on them."
I haven't had time to check all the links, but goat/rooster and dog/fish and puppy/hamster and package-sorting have all been removed.

That actually doesn't surprise me, Sandra. This is a linkfest that I assembled back in June and I thought I had posted it, but found it today in my "drafts" folder, so I posted it today. These gifs are often ephemeral, which is one reason I haven't been using them for regular TYWKIWDBI posts.
DeleteDammit Stan, I should have been in bed hours ago. LoL
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to downplay all your work, but wanted to call it to your (and your readers') attention. Many thanks for the lists!
ReplyDeleteSandra
Understood. :-) I appreciate having a cadre of proofreaders following the blog, and for normal posts I do try to fix typos and broken links, but for gifs the linkrot is just too much to cope with. (a lot of them are clips of copyrighted material and rightfully get taken down quickly)
DeleteThe magpies in the fence still have us going just a bit.
ReplyDeleteI have dozens of Eurasian Collared Doves just begging me to try it on them.
Also , Hi Bruce and have a nice vacation, Stan.
