Oh, hello there! I am in my backyard today to let you know how thankful I am for my "Viewing Couch". It is perfect for watching Mama putter around the backyard and for keeping an eye out for any intruders(mostly bunnies!).
I also doubles as my outside "napping couch" for when my eyes need resting!
Who could as for a more comfy place to sit!
What is your favorite place to view the outside world??
Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and maybe share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. This week's guest can be a little intimidating luckily, I only view him from my perch on the couch. However, our trail camera has caught him up close and personal more than a few times!
This is Harlan the Eastern Red Tailed Hawk. You may remember seeing him before on Nature Friday as he has been stopping by the backyard fountain for awhile now.
His wing span can be as much as 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) long!
That's like a foot longer than I am!
Luckily I am much better dressed, heavier and stay inside when Harlan is around.
Harlan really enjoys the cool water of our fountain.
The pawrents say he also enjoys the doves the feeders and fountain attract!
We were amazed to see just how often Harlan stops by our fountain. In fact, we have so much film footage, you will most likely be seeing Harlan on more than one Backyard Wildlife Wednesday in the future!
Here is a video of a few of his visits
Feel free to also view the video HERE, on our YouTube Channel
I am sure that Harlan wishes he could be as cool as I am, especially since I am inside in the A/C BOL!!
What kind of Cool Nature are you seeing this week??

Today we wanted to share a story Mama told us the other day. She says the story is true, but we did not view any of the characters with our own eyes and cannot confirm or deny the validity of Mama's "fairy tail"
Once upon a time there was a little raccoon who, while on an evening fence walk with its Mama, fell and got his foot stuck in between the slats in the backyard of two cute little Lhasa Apso princesses.
The Mama of the cute Lhasa princesses, while not letting them see the raccoon, freed the cute woodland creature using a shovel to loosen the slat of the fence and release his foot.
Sunny: Rosy, how come we didn't know any of this happened.
Rosy: I still think it's a fairy tail Sunny, but there was that day last week where Mama only let us go outside on leash..but I don't know how we could have missed seeing or smelling the little guy.
After his foot was released, the cute little raccoon went and hid behind
a hose keeper to escape the sun and maybe to hide from the fierce Lhasa Apso sisters that were rumored to occupy the backyard.
The raccoon hung out behind the hose keeper all afternoon. The Mama of the Lhasa Apso warrior princesses got a little worried that the story was not going to have a happy ending but she left the little raccoon alone hoping he would move along during the evening(raccoons are nocturnal).
The trail camera was set up to keep an eye on the little raccoon and what happened that night was amazing.
Just look at this little video and see....
You can also view the movie HEREon our YouTube Channel too!
That's right, Mama raccoon came to retrieve the baby, and we are thankful to say every raccoon lived happily ever after.
I'm still am not convinced it's a true story though. Come on Sunny, let's head outside to sniff around that hose keeper!
