Stuff by Hope: New Sightings

New Sightings

With migration in full force I've seen a few new birds this week. Besides the Hairy Woodpecker and the Invisible Hawk, this White-crowned Sparrow was here yesterday. He's more than likely headed south.

And today I spotted this Eastern Towhee who is also on his way out of Michigan. Sure wish I could go with him.

A bluebird also stopped by this afternoon. I wonder if he will stick around.

Ever since I can remember, I have loved kitties. There's only been one time in my life that I didn't have at least one cat as a member of the family.

I have a tabby named Gary. He came to live with me in 2002 just before Thanksgiving. He's a sweetheart and the best cat in the world.

I was also adopted by a huge tom-cat whom my son named Schteve. He began coming around the yard in April of 2011 and continued to hang out nearly everyday. Finally, he decided he liked it here and made himself at home. Unfortunately, Schteve disappeared on December 16th, 2014.

When my son was little we adopted an all-white male kitty from the Animal Shelter. His name was Dipstick. He was quite a character and a member of the family for nearly 20 years.

Unfortunately, old age took it's toll and he left us on 08-07-06. I missed him so much that I made a memorial page for him:
