365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Prodigal's Return
Day 27 (Part B): At 9 AM, Fuzzy Wuzzy was MIA and I figured he'd dropped more deeply into the Euonymus than I could readily see, protected from bird predation by those long urticarial guard hairs which can be irritating to humans as well. At least that's what I was telling myself hopefully, not wanting to admit the possibility that he'd met a natural end. I kept checking from the kitchen...the wall of the garage is visible from the window...and a little later, I thought I could see color which wasn't the pink of old Euonymus. Sure enough, there was my little friend, back again, and boy, was I relieved! Perhaps he's still looking for the perfect shelter. Tonight's bedcheck finds him missing again. I wonder if he'll be back in the morning?
